How to Configure All In One SEO Pack

To configure the plugin, go to the location All In One SEO >> General Settings. In settings general, the first option allows you to enable canonical URLs on your blog.

Canonical URLs are permanent links to individual articles. Basically in WordPress, an article is available in several locations, such as the home page, the archive page, the author page, the categories page and "tags" (keywords).

We recommend that you display article excerpts instead of a full version in your archives. By posting full articles on all of these pages instead of extracts, you encourage duplication of your content and greatly harm the SEO your blog. duplicate articles. By specifying a canonical URL for each article, you avoid duplicating content on your blog.
