    Default Canonical points to redirect for Reviews pages

    I'm getting a lot of "Canonical points to redirect" issues when checking my site using Ahrefs.com site audit, for my Reviews pages. See image as example for one page. Are these something to worry about, and if so, how could I correct this?

    Default Re: Canonical points to redirect for Reviews pages

    The review for PCMCIA Serial Card (RS232) does point to

    index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=251

    which is the "all reviews" page for the product instead of

    index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=251&reviews_id=197

    A site I host using 1.5.7 has the following

    index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=196&reviews_id=3

    is the link, and this is the page's canonical

    index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=196
    A version 2.0.1 site has the following link

    index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=42484&reviews_id=915

    and canonical

    index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=42484
    So it would appear the canonical incorrectly points to the all reviews page for the product. This is okay when it's a sorting situation, but this is not. These canonicals are genuinely incorrect.

    Yep, that's been wrong in the includes/init_includes/init_canonical.php for some time now. I've created a GitHub issue for tracking: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/issues/6879

    Thanks for the report!
