Issue

Hi,

Google send me an email about a canonical problem in my site because root website and index.html has the same canonical url:

{% if not PLUGINS or 'seo' not in PLUGINS %}
    {% if REL_CANONICAL %}
    {% if page %}
        <link rel="canonical" href="{{ SITEURL }}/{{ page.url }}">
    {% elif article %}
        <link rel="canonical" href="{{ SITEURL }}/{{ article.url }}">
    {% elif page_name == 'index' and not articles_previous_page %}
        <link rel="canonical" href="{{ SITEURL }}">
    {% elif author or category or tag or page_name == 'index' %}
        <link rel="canonical" href="{{ SITEURL }}/{{ articles_page.url }}">
    {% else %}
        <link rel="canonical" href="{{ SITEURL }}/{{ output_file }}">
    {% endif %}
    {% endif %}
{% endif %}

The problem is specific to this line:

<link rel="canonical" href="{{ SITEURL }}">

I need know if im in "https://mysite.com" or "https://mysite.com/index.html".

I search about how to know it, but not found. I search how to write a plugin to export functions to template, but not found.

Can anyone help me?

I don't understand. https://mysite.com/ and https://mysite.com/index.html are the same thing. They will serve the same file: index.html (assuming most common server options).

If you just have an URL, https://mysite.com/, you don't need a canonical URL. Canonical URLs are used when you have multiples domains that redirect to the same content. For example, when you have https://mysite.com/ and https://m.mysite.com/ (for display on mobile phones). In this case canonical URLs are useful to make your pages to not compete against each other.

In addition, could you paste the trace or a snapshot of the error? It would help us to help you.
