Using Yoast I get "Page is not indexed: Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user"

I have the following error message in Google Search Console:

"Page is not indexed: Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user"

This occured with every page of my WordPress website, where I recently changed the URL. I have a redirection plugin in place that automatically adds 301 redirections, if a URL is changed and it added them correctly.

Now what I notcied is, that every page has the canonical link attribute applied to it and it seems to be coming from the Yoast plugin. This seems to be what's causing the problem. Can I just ignore this or is this a setting in Yoast that I need to change? Or do I need to set the canonical every time I change the URL of a page?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0
