[SOLVED] How to configure canonical URL

[wzhao6898]

Hi there,

I've configure the Canonical URL module to set thehovercam.com to be the canonical URL. From what I understand, now all the traffic directed to www.thehovercam.com is now redirected to thehovercam.com, but it doesn't seem it's doing that.
Is there anything else I need to set before this will work?
Thanks,

David

I think you've misunderstood the purpose of the canonical URL module. It doesn't automatically redirect pages. The only thing it does is add the following to the header of your website:

<link rel="canonical" href="{$canonical_url}" />

where {$canonical_url} is what you entered on the configuration page. To automatically redirect pages, you'll need to manually modify your .htaccess file. See my post here for how to do that.

Now I've read more on this, understand the concept now, Thanks very much!

I find the canonical module?
Where can I put <link rel = "canonical" href = "{$ canonical_url}" />.
Can you give me the way?

Good morning, I have one question for you. I can?

<link rel = "canonical" href = "{$ canonical_url}" />

Does this code indicate that the given subpage is a canonical link? My point is, I am looking for a solution to apply self-canonical to prestahop 1.6. So that each subpage points canonical to itself. Could I count on help?
