    "Use canonical links: Yes": https://arastta.org/docs/user-manual/system/settings/seo

    It's then set by the system automatically, and you don't need to (or can) set anything manually.

    Check your site source code in browser to see how they are used live.

    I there, yes it is set to "use canonical".
    I had checked the source code before and again now and I do not see it how it is used?
    I checked this product page :

    <m-eta charset="UTF-8" />

    Would be very useful to add such info directly ... ;)
    Maybe you found a bug, if you can recreate it on a fresh install, using default/second template. If so you can report it as a issue at GitHub.

    thanks rune,
    yeah i would like to add the canonical stuff directly because google is killing me softly with penalties etc. but where do i start?

    and yes I will do a fresh test instal as you mentioned.

    but at 59 years old it just takes me 3x longer to figure things out, back in 1998 with my note pad i was flying, but now i stop using the notepad and tara welcome to arastta.... but im lost???? darn.

    I see/understand. :)

    I'll try to take a look at it the coming week, if nobody else gets time to do it before.
