    I try

    
function remove_canonical1() {
    if ( is_singular( 'news' ) ) {
        remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_canonical', 47);
    }
}
add_action('wp', 'remove_canonical1');

    Hi @myideasforsite,

    My plugin filters the permalink used in the canonical meta tag. It does not add the tag to HTML code, this is probably done by some 3rd party plugin. Do you use Yoast SEO, RankMath or similar SEO plugin?

    Regards,
    Maciej

    Hi again @myideasforsite,

    I am not certain what solution do you use, so I prepared “all-in-one” solution:

    function remove_canonical_meta_tag() {
	if(is_singular('news')) {
		// Native WordPress canonical metatag
		remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_canonical');

		// Rank Math
		add_filter('rank_math/frontend/canonical', '__return_false');

		// Yoast SEO
		add_filter('wpseo_canonical', '__return_false');

		// SEOPress
		add_filter('seopress_titles_canonical', '__return_false');
	}
}
add_action('wp', 'remove_canonical1');

    I guess that your code does not work, because of ’47’ priority number. Normally, ‘rel_canonical’ function is hooked with standard priority – 10.

    hello. thanks for answer. yes I use yoast. Also try hook

    add_filter('wpseo_canonical', '__return_false');

    But it does not work to. Try to disabled this plugin. But canonical show anyway. Theme is my develop. and I did not write hardcode canonical. Its weird.
