I want to set the set the cannonical url programmatically for every post.

By that I mean when creating/editing an article there should be the possibility to set a custom cannonical url for it. (maybe via custom fields?).

Right now I am using the WP Seo by Yoast as Seo plugin.

Best regards

  • Exactly. I want it exactly like in the link i posted in my other comment "I would like to use (1) as the canonical URL for OpenGraph/Facebook, so if you "like" (2) and (3) then will count for (1).

You can do that programmatically right from inside the plugin's settings by using the wpseo_canonical filter.

You can also set it on a per post basis:

You can even set the canonical links for categories, tags and any taxonomy for that matter as well. All you have to do is follow instructions at Canonical URLs in Yoast SEO
