[Plugin: WP-HTML-Compression] Destroys canonical-tag | ww.wp.xz.cn

I just found out, that the plugin destroys the canonical tag e.g. inserted by plugins like WP-SEO.

Without wp-minify the tag looks like

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.nameofwebsite.com/post_slug/" />

when enabling wp-minify this tag is destroyed into

<link rel="canonical" href="./" />

Canonical URLs can be relative:

(scroll down a bit, or do a search for “relative”)

But, yes, they do recommend making them absolute to avoid “difficulties”. So, I’ll add this in the next version.

Thank you

Thank you for fixing this!

Actually the canonical tags weren’t relative. They were all chopped to ./
