<br />
If you’re using <a href="https://arismoreno.blogspot.com/search/label/WordPress%20SEO" target="_blank">Wordpress</a> as your CMS, there’s a lot of ways to do this. If you don’t want to use a plugin, simply go to the Editor’ section and go to header.php to insert the tracking code.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijhJRchimZh91qUEq_Tf2TPLk92kkeQkuLaFW2Zb_1Ruh39kFsKgJfWsjK-kBEmou-btS2D5isCOrpM6B-v0jad4Lx7q0kuH-Y5XCks4xGauAI1D2EOEFIEUTAkNHyuY8m5FJPACc4PtY/s1600/Creating+a+New+Account+in+Google+Analytics+6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijhJRchimZh91qUEq_Tf2TPLk92kkeQkuLaFW2Zb_1Ruh39kFsKgJfWsjK-kBEmou-btS2D5isCOrpM6B-v0jad4Lx7q0kuH-Y5XCks4xGauAI1D2EOEFIEUTAkNHyuY8m5FJPACc4PtY/s640/Creating+a+New+Account+in+Google+Analytics+6.png" /></a></div>

<br />
Reposting your articles on another website, even if you publish it first on your own website can cause a <a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66359?hl=en" target="_blank">duplicate content penalty</a>. To avoid this from happening, you need to tell search engines such as Google and Bing that you just copied it from your website and re-posted it on another website. But how are you going to do that?<br />
<br />
Here’s the step-by-step guide on how to add canonical tag in WordPress:<br />
<br />
1. Install the Yoast SEO plugin<br />
<br />
Go to <b>Dashboard</b> and click on the <b>Add New</b> link under <b>Plugins</b> on the right menu bar.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZk5YMSrhOYbAR3lUcFke63QCei82NY0VXQ6JeOcn-Yg7B0ezAz2FafBAjfl6CZQVwwPhxiyQNKscWg-HiULlIRSb4jl1yJ9E5KRvwtstA5BpORu8pOts8k4vDoNx0NXghiXEp4LDB654/s1600/adding+a+new+plugin+in+wordpress.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="how to add canonical tag in WordPress" border="0" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZk5YMSrhOYbAR3lUcFke63QCei82NY0VXQ6JeOcn-Yg7B0ezAz2FafBAjfl6CZQVwwPhxiyQNKscWg-HiULlIRSb4jl1yJ9E5KRvwtstA5BpORu8pOts8k4vDoNx0NXghiXEp4LDB654/s640/adding+a+new+plugin+in+wordpress.png" title="how to add canonical tag in WordPress" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Enter 'Yoast SEO' in the search box and hit enter. And then install the plugin and activate it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbTECwXplEoSaxVG5t2LdyZTBR9jwFOAZolChn-THcCzU5wsAahvva0hI12R-Kl_jSyWJhoM4g4jhnc4VVNnWBXIeifpriUB4adUf_3nUbKa3RVsRlHOuSLOM4YZ1OW-Qhc2zy9KVDv2U/s1600/installing+a+new+plugin+in+wordpress.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="how to add canonical tag in WordPress" border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbTECwXplEoSaxVG5t2LdyZTBR9jwFOAZolChn-THcCzU5wsAahvva0hI12R-Kl_jSyWJhoM4g4jhnc4VVNnWBXIeifpriUB4adUf_3nUbKa3RVsRlHOuSLOM4YZ1OW-Qhc2zy9KVDv2U/s640/installing+a+new+plugin+in+wordpress.png" title="how to add canonical tag in WordPress" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Before you publish a post, please don’t forget to insert the link of the page where you copied the content from in the <b>Canonical URL</b> field under the <b>Advanced</b> tab of the <b>Yoast SEO</b> plugin. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOHv6Pu-CGMKu9weJBG5UwaOzaT562CSsvSn1NTMLl7uQeTl7eJP9a8nJD3evzzkfhGWH81A_9c9nn9wHBKrh_JGPtVs8HVi1GDECG5elGwJi0mksiNRthFyw0voL7sTXfdhO-SJXBzWk/s1600/adding+cross+domain+canonical+tag+using+seo+yoast+plugin.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="how to add canonical tag in WordPress" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOHv6Pu-CGMKu9weJBG5UwaOzaT562CSsvSn1NTMLl7uQeTl7eJP9a8nJD3evzzkfhGWH81A_9c9nn9wHBKrh_JGPtVs8HVi1GDECG5elGwJi0mksiNRthFyw0voL7sTXfdhO-SJXBzWk/s640/adding+cross+domain+canonical+tag+using+seo+yoast+plugin.png" title="how to add canonical tag in WordPress" width="470" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Go to the URL of that post and view the source code to check if the rel="canonical" tag is already added in the <head> section of the post. CTRL+F the word 'canonical' and you should be able to see this tag:<br />
<br />
<center>
<b><link rel="canonical" href="<i><span style="color: #073763;">URL of the original post</span></i>">
</b></center>
<br />
<br />
