Yoast Canonical URL Points to the Incorrect URL

Yesterday, I migrated my client's site from staging to production as a GoDaddy Managed WordPress site. After migrating the domain to the Managed Wordpress site, I ran a site audit in Ahrefs and found that the xml sitemap included noncanonical URLS. Upon further inspection in the page source, I found that Yoast was still including staging domain in the canonical URLs for every page.

To fix this issue, I first edited the canonical URL for every page, post, product, category, etc. in the Yoast settings and flushed the cache. Now the correct domain is included in the canonical URL for every page, except for the home page.

I implemented every solution I could find in other forums, which included replacing the staging domain with the correct domain in the databases, and flushed the cache. The correct canonical URL shows in the page source when I'm logged into the WordPress dashboard, but it does not show when I am logged out.

Has anyone else encountered this issue after migrating a domain from staging to production? If so, how did you solve the issue?

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
