    1) How to remove traling slash from all urls ?

    I’m wondering is there a way we can remove traling slash(/) in the end of url. As it looks awful, also in canonical url, other thing is if we check there canonical status its showing without slash. So it will be a major drawback as google will consider two different urls.

    2) why Canonical url is not showing Correct Locations for all city urls ?

    One more major problem is of location urls. Whenever i’m checking different city canonical urls. Each City, Region and Country is showing the same location url. for ex.

    <link rel=”canonical” href=”http://example.com/location/”

    Thanks

    Hi,

    1) trailing slashes are added by WordPress itself. There is probably some way to remove them, but I would stay away from it, you could badly mess up GD permalinks. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-trailing-slash-1?replies=6#post-2514126 We are not going to provide extra support for this unless +50% of members request it. Trailing slash are totally fine from our point of view.

    Canonical URLs are correct: http://wpgeo.directory/restaurants/

    <link rel="canonical" href="http://wpgeo.directory/restaurants/" />

    There is no way Google will flag any GD page as duplicate.

    2) I’ve flagged this for the developers. We’ll let you know soon if there is a reason. I agree the canonical URL should be the same as the page.

    Thanks

    Ok, we tracked down the problem and it is Yoast SEO rewriting the canonical URL of locations. When the plugin is disabled the canonical URLs of locations are correct. The developers are looking into a solution.

    We’ll keep you posted.

    Thanks

    So am I getting this right, it’s best not to use the Yoast plugin until this is resolved?

    Well i found this code on web and it worked. Atleast this disable the canonical made by yoast:

    

     // Remove Canonical Link Added By Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin
function at_remove_dup_canonical_link() {
	return false;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_canonical', 'at_remove_dup_canonical_link' );
    

    Thanks
