Getting Started!
Overview
Magento Canonical URLs extension helps you remove duplicate
content issues from your eCommerce website with the addition of
canonical Meta tags. You can add tags to products, categories, and
CMS pages to define its relevancy with other pages. Add canonical
tags to your Storefront, store view, or a custom URL to declare the
authoritative version of your webshop. The application of canonicals
to pagination and layered-navigation pages further elaborates the
relationship of products and categories to the search engine.
Extension Features

User Guide
After installation of module, make sure the setup is upgraded and static-contents are deployed. Login
to admin panel and flush you Magento cache storage.
I. How to Configure the Extension:
Once logged in to the Admin Panel go to the “Configuration”. You can enter there from • admin menu
→ FME Extensions → Canonical URL → Configurations. Here you will have access to the following
settings:
General Settings:
1. Enable Module: This will enable/disable canonical Meta tag to any pages. E.g. Catalog, CMS or
any custom pages.
If ‘Yes’, the canonical meta tag will be added in Meta header for any targeted page.
2. Add canonical Meta tag to catalog pagination pages?
a) If “Yes” canonical Meta tag is added to category or product listings pagination pages.
E.g. Pages ending with: ?p=1, ?p=2, ?p=3 etc. E.g. we have a category page like
http://mag2-seo.fmeextensions.net/canonicalurls/men/tops-men/jackets-
men.html?p=2
b) If “Add canonical meta tag to catalog pagination pages” is “Yes” then the canonical meta
tag will be like<link rel="canonical" href="http://mag2-
seo.fmeextensions.net/canonicalurls/men/tops-men/jackets-men.html?p=2" />
c) If “No” canonical meta tag will be like <link rel="canonical" href="http://mag2-
seo.fmeextensions.net/canonicalurls/men/tops-men/jackets-men.html" />
3. Add canonical Meta tag to catalog layered navigation? Choose to add the canonical Meta tag
to the current category, filtered category or disable this feature.
a) If “Yes, for the Filtered Page” canonical Meta tag will be added to the filtered category.
E.g. We have a filtered category like http://mag2-
seo.fmeextensions.net/canonicalurls/men/tops-men.html?cat=14&style_general=120.

Then the canonical meta tag will be <link rel="canonical" href="http://mag2-
seo.fmeextensions.net/canonicalurls/men/tops-men/jackets-
men.html?style_general=120" />
b) If “Yes, for the Current Category” canonical Meta tag will be added to the current
category. E.g. we have category page like http://mag2-
seo.fmeextensions.net/canonicalurls/men/tops-men.html?cat=14&style_general=120.
Then the canonical Meta tag will be <link
rel="canonical"href="http://mag2seo.fmeextensions.net/canonicalurls/men/tops-
men.html"/>
c) If “No” it will disable this feature
4. Add rel="next" and rel="prev" to catalog pagination pages? Use the rel=next/prev tag to
inform Google, where exactly the 1st and the last pages are, and treat these pages as a logical
sequence.
5. Exclude canonical Meta tag on these pages: Specify the pages to exclude/ignore canonical Meta
tag.
a) To exclude canonical meta tag on product pages use: ‘catalog_product_view’
b) To exclude canonical meta tag on CMS home page use: 'cms_index_index'
c) To exclude canonical meta tag on category pages use: 'catalog_category_view'
6. Canonical Meta tag for store URL (cross domain): Choose the main domain for the pages from
other domains that have identical content.
If “Default Store URL” all stores have their own canonical Meta tags. E.g. we have three
stores. Mystore.com → mystore.com/product, Frenchstore.com →
frenchstore.com/product, Germanstore.com → germanstore.com/product. So all the
three stores have their own canonical Meta tags.
If “French Store View” (you have your own list of stores listed in the dropdown) then all
the stores have canonical meta tag with domain frenchstore.com/product/---
7. Canonical Meta tag for custom URL (cross domain): It will add custom URL in the canonical
Meta tag for the selected store. E.g. we have selected “French Store View” from the “Canonical
meta tag for store URL” configuration, so it will add custom URL to the canonical Meta tag in the
French store pages. Suppose custom URL is http://mystore.com then Frenchstore.com/product/
→ mystore.com/product/
8. Trailing slash for canonical meta tag: Add or Crop trailing slash to the pages without suffix .html
or .htm
