How to remove rel=canonical?

[Dave Shuttleworth]

Hi,
for my requirements I want to remove the rel=canonical tag from the site, but how to do this with Genesis?

I've added the line below to the themes functions file:

remove_action( 'wp_head','genesis_canonical', 5 );

But it has made no difference, the rel=canonical is still there.

How can I get rid of it please?

Thanks.

Hi,
Interesting question. I just ran that, and it worked great. I wonder if where you're putting it in the sequence of things is nullifying it? "Somebody else" getting in after you, so to speak. I was going to ask if you're running Genesis 1.9, but that has the same related code as Genesis 2.

You could try putting it at the very end of your functions.php.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to remove the rel=canonical tag from your site?
