[Plugin: Polylang] Duplicate canonical link and All Posts admin page problems

    When using Polylang together with WP SEO by Yoast there is duplicate canonical links output. In some instances the one from Polylang is wrong (you can specifically define canonical link i WP SEO). It would be great if it was possible to have a setting not to output any canonical link, or maybe detect the already present canonical link automatically. The quick fix is to comment out the line
    echo "<link rel='canonical' href='$link' />\n";
    in polylang/include/core.php.

    In the All Posts admin page the last couple of columns can get the wrong headings. There also seem to be problems if any other plugin adds colums to the post listing, some column may be missing. When using a swedish translation of WP I sometimes get at column heading called “Cols” that shouldn’t be there at all.

    The only reason why I rewrote canonical link was for the translated homepage. I found another way to do the things. So Polylang will no more output canonical links in 0.7.2.

    I tested WordPress SEO and it sometimes output wrong canonical links (at least for translated ‘page for posts’ when using a static front page).

    Could you tell me which plugin conflicts with Polylang in the All Posts admin page ?

    I have done some more checking regarding the problem with the All Posts page and the problem seem to occur if there is any other active plugin that outputs an extra column to the page. The following plugins are the ones used on the site in question that trigger the problem (whether any one by itself or all together):
    Wordpress SEO by Yoast
    SlimStat (with Add Posts column = Yes)
    Add Link to Facebook
    Page Columnist
    Word Stats

    Btw, the “Cols” heading is from the Page Columnist plugin, I wasn’t aware before that that plugin also did output an extra column.

    Thank you. I reproduced the bug and clearly I did things in a very wrong way. It will be corrected in 0.7.2.

    I tested WordPress SEO and it sometimes output wrong canonical links (at least for translated ‘page for posts’ when using a static front page).

    I did not test but this issue should now be corrected in the current development version of 0.8
