Hi @graphettion,
Are you referring to the canonical URL in the <head>?
Can you show me an example of where this is updated? Im assuming you feel the canonical URL should read /page/2/ ?
Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to. I’m not the best at explaining. 😛 I want /page/2, /page/3, etc canonical tags to be /blog.
Ex:
<link rel=”canonical” href=”https://example.com/blog/page/2″ />
Should be:
<link rel=”canonical” href=”https://example.com/blog” />

No worries, i figured it out 🙂
I see what you mean, so you think the [plugin should update the <link /> tag when a pushstate or popstate happens?
I checked a few sites that have standard paging and every time there was a paged URL the canonical URL was still the root url without the ‘/page/3/’ value.
Can you show me an example of another WordPress site that updates this canonical <link /> tag while paging?
I had the same problem. I solved it by redirecting (301 SEO friendly) the user/google-robot to the main-category page, and using Ajax Load More with unlimited posts argument (which is default setting as far as I remember).
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpse27119_template_redirect' );
function wpse27119_template_redirect() {
/* Redirect user to main category if the URL contains "/page/" */
if ( strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/page/" ) !== false ) {
global $wp_query;
$category_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object()->term_id;
wp_redirect( get_category_link( $category_id ) );
return false;
}
}

wp_redirect( get_category_link( $category_id ) );
should actually be:
wp_redirect( get_category_link( $category_id ), '301' );
Awesome. I’ll try it tomorrow. Thank you unicco. I appreciate both your speedy responses.
The plugin is great by the way. Great job dcooney and the contributors.
It worked like a charm. Much thanks unicco. I also added it for the /blog page.
//Canonical Tags for AJAX Load More (Ex: /blog/page/2, /blog/page/3, all go to /blog)
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpse27119_template_redirect' );
function wpse27119_template_redirect() {
/* Redirect user to main category if the URL contains "/page/" */
if ( strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/page/" ) !== false ) {
global $wp_query;
$category_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object()->term_id;
$blog_id = get_permalink(get_option( 'page_for_posts' ));
wp_redirect( get_category_link( $category_id ), '301' );
wp_redirect( $blog_id, '301' );
return false;
}
}
Actually renamed $blog_id to $blog_url to give it a more meaningful name.

Glad I could help.
You might wanna put some conditional tags in your code, to separate the two redirections. Just a suggestion.
For category you can use: if ( is_category() ) { }
For blog-page you can use: if ( $wp_query->query['pagename'] == 'blog' ) { }
I wish I fully understood what you guys are up to here!
Care to explain it in a TL;DR format? 🙂
Hey @dcooney, here’s a visual of what I’m talking about.

This explains what I am wanting. Unicco helped me code it for both categories and blog now (which I am much appreciated).
Let me know if this helps explain.

@unicco: How does this look?
function wpse27119_template_redirect() {
/* Redirect user to main category if the URL contains "/page/" */
if ( strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/page/" ) !== false ) {
global $wp_query;
$category_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object()->term_id;
$page_name = $wp_query->query['pagename'];
$blog_url = get_permalink(get_option( 'page_for_posts' ));
if ( is_category() ) {
wp_redirect( get_category_link( $category_id ), '301' );
}
if ( $page_name == 'blog' ) {
wp_redirect( $blog_url, '301' );
}
return false;
}
}
@dcooney, does that make sense?
