Hey everyone,
I’ve noticed that submitted article hasn’t had a canonical links from the “First Seen At”. I’ve had a look at some other articles and it appeared the canonical isn’t on any. I’m a bit worried about duplicated content, as the articles are all from my blog originally. Did I miss a change or is something broken? I can provide examples, if needed.
Cheers,
Peter
Hi Peter,
I’m also having this issue, and it stopped me from posting to Hackernoon because I don’t want to get a duplicate content penalty.
See this one, has no canonical but it’s setup.
Ah, good to know it’s not just an error I’ve got.
Hey David, thank you so much, I’ll be posting more!
Hey @David,
thank for you for fixing this bug, highly appreciated! I’ve checked my published articles and found one which isn’t having the canonical as expected: https://hackernoon.com/3-life-savers-during-covid-lockdown-132l3ycg Maybe your team could have a quick look if there is anything I did wrong? The “First Seen At” is set to the original URL afaik. Thanks in advance!
Cheers and have a good weekend,
Peter
My most recently published story (https://hackernoon.com/how-i-force-myself-to-work-0s203yi3) has no canonical either @David
Hi there - I’m not seeing canonical links on any of my stories, e.g.:
I used the ‘previously published on’ option. I don’t recall if there was any more explicit place to set a canonical URL. I believe I can’t edit the story to try and add this.
@David do you or someone else mind helping out? This is very important for my SEO.
Update: I figured out how to edit a story and added the URL in the ‘First seen at’ box, which I’m pretty certain I did originally too. Still no canonical link though.
