Should article titles feature a rel=”canonical” in the HTML? I thought this was best for SEO? Can’t find it on my Uber site.
Is there some configuration needed to achieve this?

Or are itemprop=”name” and itemprop=”URL” now more important or work as replacements?

Let me know. Thanks. John..

Hi @bowman999,

If you check demo site, you will see the rel=”canonical” is attached to page url and itemprop is attached to individual article already.

Hi Adam,

I still can’t find it. Here’s an example. I’ve set up the Uber template on my own demo site and have created a page in the blog section (no changes to the Uber template).

There are no “canonical URLs” at all on standard blog pages! There is a “base Url”, but nothing else.
Go here to see for yourself:

http://galacticbrain.net/index.php/joomla-page/content-page/all-categories/sample-category-1/205-fcsdfsafdsa

This is the code that surrounds the article title:

<h1 class="article-title" itemprop="name">
fcsdfsafdsa <meta itemprop="url" content="http://galacticbrain.net/index.php/joomla-page/content-page/all-categories/sample-category-1/205-fcsdfsafdsa" />
</h1>

Is there any reason they would not appear in a page created in the Blog” section?

Let me know.
I want to make sure I get as much SEO as possible when launched.

Cheers,
John

Hi John,

Did you disable the plugin System – SEF ? Which Joomla! version are you using ? Please check if you’re using latest Uber / T3 Framework via back-end >>> Components >>> JA Extension Manager and update if necessary.

The latest T3 plugin (released only today!) fixed the issue on both sites. I believe it was the result of Joomla 3.4 or Joomla 3.41 upgrades.

So problem solved.

Cheers,
John
