infinite Loop between canonical and 301 redirection

[notraf]

When I redirect (301) a page A to another not canonical B, the B page is showed but with canonical pointing to A in the code.

This is a loop for search engines and bad for SEO.

I suggest the automatic change of canonical URL to the 301 redirected whit redirection plugin or .htaccess , or at least the option of disable canonical at all, or page to page, or the change of canonical page to page.

I'm afraid I couldn't really follow what you were describing.

However, it is possible to disable canonical if you would like to do so. Remove redirect_canonical from the template_redirect hook. Like this:

remove_action('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical');

I guess the ticket is about rel='canonical'.

It can be disabled too:

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rel_canonical' )
