Duplicate, Google choosing different canonical

[abdulrahmankz]

https://example.com vs https://www.example.com
I tried to force redirect all www to non-www urls from htaccess file (server side) but not solving the issue
Google keeps chose different canonical than user instead of the rendered page is rel="canonical" is the same as url which is self-canonical
I don't know if there is some points missing
thanks in advanced

Canonical redirects are discussed in the Apache Web Server [webmasterworld.com] forum - unless the site is on WP, then it should be posted under the WordPress [webmasterworld.com] forum.

It helps to describe exactly (using example.com) what redirects you have done so that you can get useful help.

If this is the same WP site you had posted about previously here: [webmasterworld.com...] and you did not alter the settings in Settings > General Settings > WP URL and Site URL I would start there. It is possible the redirects will not work if the site settings are different that you intend, even if the code in .htaccess is OK.

its not wordpress, its custom code website

OK, so post your topic in the Apache Web Server forum linked above and explain the situation that you have in place. There are various reasons it may not work, but we can't guess what they are without understanding the situation.

This discussion is now in the Apache Web Server forum: [webmasterworld.com...]
