We have such a tags in head section:
<link href="https://www.xxxx.com/o-nas" rel="canonical" />
<base href="https://xxxx.com/o-nas" />

We want to have all url without 'www'. I noticed it is possible to set custom canonical url but can it be done automaticly to remove 'www' from it?

Best regards
Tomasz.

Hi

sh404SEF rarely sets canonical automatically. Both of those are set by Joomla. Your site should not be accessed without the www if you selected www as your main site URL.

Make sure you have a redirect in place to prevent access without www.

The most efficient way to do this is in your .htaccess. You can do it manually (google for the rule) or use things like Akeeba Admin tools to do it for you.

You can also simply use the appropriate setting in sh404SEF:

It's slower, as it's done in PHP, inside Joomla, but much simpler of course.

Hello,

We allready set url without www in htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xxxx.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://xxxx.com/$1 [R=301,L]

And it is working ok but sh404 add canonical param with www. And we want as I wrote - without www. In sh404 configuration we set - enforce access without www.
When we switch off sh404 - we dont have at all canonical param in html.

Regards
Tomasz.

That doesn't mean sh404SEF is adding the canonical.

Are you 100% sure you have the correct canonical domain entered in the Joomla SEF plugin?

You are right. It was wrong settings in configuration.php.

Thanks for suggestion.
