Yes, Google fixed the Search Console canonical URL reporting bug on September 4, 2023. The bug was causing Google Search Console to report the wrong canonical URL for some pages. This issue was first reported by Rafael Martin on August 4, 2023.
Google has not released any official documentation about the fix, but it is believed that the issue was caused by a change in the way Google handles canonical URLs for pages with multiple redirects.
If you are still experiencing problems with canonicalization in Search Console, you can try the following:
- Check your website for any redirects that are not working properly.
- Make sure that you have a canonical tag on all of your pages.
- Use the URL Inspection tool in Search Console to verify the canonical URL for each page.
If you are still having problems, you can contact Google Search Console support for help.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind about canonical URLs:
- Google does not always use the canonical URL you declare. In some cases, Google may choose to use a different URL, such as the URL that is most popular or the URL that is most likely to be relevant to the user's search query.
- There are two main ways to fix canonical issues on a website: by implementing 301 redirects, and/or by adding canonical tags to your site's pages.
- If you are unsure how to fix canonical issues on your website, you can contact a web developer for help.
