Adds the canonical link to your site ([Learn More](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_link_element)).

Activate and then set your permalinks to “Post name” under _Settings > Permalinks_.
That’s it.

Verify that it’s working correctly with the [Firefox add-on](https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/canonical-link/).

Supports the ability to customize the canonical link for any specific page, post,
or even custom post types (including WooCommerce Products and bbPress Topics).

## Installation

**Automatic**

 * From your WordPress Admin, navigate to: **Plugins** > **Add New**
 * Search for: **Canonical Link**
 * Install it
 * Activate it
 * Please see **Additional Instructions**

**Manual**

 * Download
 * Unzip
 * Upload to /plugins/ folder

 * Please see **Additional Instructions**

**Additional Instructions**

You will also need to update your permalinks (if you haven’t already), which will
give you desirable SEO-friendly and user-friendly URLs anyway:

 * From your WordPress Admin, navigate to: **Settings** > **Permalinks**
 * Under “**Common Settings**“, select “**Post name**“
 * Click “**Save Changes**” and you’re done
