Duplicate rel=canonical meta on each post/page #9

Closed

Description

@jessecowens

Describe the bug
When BoldGrid Easy SEO is active, each post and page has two canonical links. This is considered detrimental for SEO.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Launch WordPress with BoldGrid Easy SEO
    https://www.boldgrid.com/central/cloud-wordpress/try?theme=twentynineteen&plugins=boldgrid-easy-seo
  2. View the source of any page or post
  3. Ctrl-F for "canonical"

Expected behavior
If the user inputs a Canonical link into BoldGrid Easy SEO, it should replace the existing Canonical link, rather than adding a second one.
If the user leaves the Canonical link blank, the Core Canonical URL should be left as-is.
