Can you help me fix them?

Hi

What's the problem? why do you want to have canonical and where?

Please provide at least one example of a full URL where you want to have a canonical and why you want one.

Best regards

Before 4SEO installation: when I viewed the source pages, all pages had rel="canonical", now after installation, no page contains rel="canonical".

Hi

Before 4SEO installation: when I viewed the source pages, all pages had rel="canonical", now after installation, no page contains rel="canonical".

Which is good and exactly as it should be, unless these pages are duplicates of other pages. Do you have pages that are duplicates of other pages?

The canonical links are missing on all pages for example the following pages:

https://xxxx.com/

https://xxxx.com/articulos-y-ensayos/3818-jose-marti-en-hombres-como-el-no-es-verdad-la-muerte

https://xxxx.com/articulos-y-ensayos/3812-la-guerra-de-putin-una-victoria-sin-victorias

https://xxxx.com/articulos-y-ensayos

https://xxxx.com/articulos-y-ensayos?start=4

https://xxxx.com/articulos-y-ensayos?start=8

and so on all the pages of the blog category, by the way, are considered pages with a duplicate title and description. How to solve this?

Hi

https://xxxx.com/

https://xxxx.com/articulos-y-ensayos/3818-jose-marti-en-hombres-como-el-no-es-verdad-la-muerte

These pages should not have any canonical.

are considered pages with a duplicate title and description

Nope, duplicate title and description are 100% fine on paginated series like a category blog, you should not do anything about it. See Google documentation on this page:

Hi

But how to solve the duplicate titles and descriptions showing on pages:

There's nothing to do because there is no problem. As explained above, pagination series are perfectly OK and they do not need to have separate titles and descriptions:

4SEO is not capable of detecting pagination series, but Google can and so you do not need to fix that in any way, there's no problem.
