Hello,

Is there a way to prevent the canonical tag from being generated in a specific article?

I would like a specific article to be dynamic and allow the pages generated by the url parameters ?foo=bar for that article to be eligible for Google Index separatedly.

Thanks for the help

Hi,

You should create a canonical generic rule, on the Aliases page, similar to:

Alias: article-url-with-no-leading-slash?foo={*}
Target URL: article-url-with-no-leading-slash?foo={*}

This will still create a canonical, but it will be the currently requested URL - or whatever you want actually.

Best regards
