Hi
these info are not sufficient to check if the canonical plugin works correctly
Please check in the GSC the url that are "duplicate" and note the urls. Then give me the list, or 2-3 urls to check. The canonical tag shall be present, and we will check how it works

but the google index does not rely on the canonical tag, this is a system that is specific to Google. the canonical tag only helps to avoid duplicate content

Hi, thanks for your response. Further details below.

Duplicate without user-selected canonical:
www.ohb.co.nz/gallery
www.ohb.co.nz/contact
ohb.co.nz/contact

Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user:
ohb.co.nz/

Regards,
Linda

ok,
your root url is : ohb.co.nz/
but your page is also available with the www : www.ohb.co.nz
>> you must put a redirection to avoid this

for the canonical plugin, it works
if you go on
www.ohb.co.nz
the tag adds the canonical to the root url

<link href=" ohb.co.nz/ " rel="canonical" />

the same for example on the contact page
www.ohb.co.nz/contact
the tag :

<link href=" ohb.co.nz/contact " rel="canonical" />


the canonical plugin works correctly, as expected
your problems in the google console are not related to the canonical plugin

Hi, we have added the 301 redirection in the .htaccess file for www to non-www that we had removed previously. Thank you for your support.

Linda
