Canonical override missing in graphql response

[remoflury]

Describe the bug

When a canonical override on a page entry is set, the gql response does not contain the rel="canonical" tag.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Set a canonical override in your page entry SEOmatic field
2. query the page's seomatic with gql: query page($uri: String) { seomatic(uri: $uri) { metaTitleContainer metaTagContainer } }
3. Have a look at the response.
4. (optional): Set "Always include canonical links regardless of environment" in plugins setting to true -> does not change the outcome. (environment in my case is manually set to live)

Expected behaviour

A correct canonical tag in the metaTagContainer

Versions

• Plugin version: 5.1.19
• Craft version: 5.8.20

Can you provide me with a screenshot of the SEO Settings field that has the Canonical URL override set?

And this entry is populated to all sites? Or is it a per-site entry? Just trying to get enough information to reproduce it here locally.

[remoflury]

@khalwat this is a seomatic field, which was placed into a page (section). therefore you have access to the seo settings for each page individually, which works fine for other fields inside the seomatic field (e.g. title, description).

So if i have two pages, i can overrride the titles etc. on each entry individually. this works fine, except for the canonical url

[khalwat]

Do you have anything configured in the URL Override setting in SEOmatic?

SEOmatic -> Plugin Settings -> Advanced -> Site URL Override

[khalwat]

So I think this isn't actually a bug. The canonical URL is not contained in the metaTagContainer but rather the metaLinkContatiner (because it's a <link rel="">).

So try:

query page($uri: String) {
  seomatic(uri: $uri) {
    metaTitleContainer
    metaTagContainer
    metaLinkContainer
  }
}

I tested it with the URL being overriden via an SEO Settings field in and entry, and it worked as expected for me.
