  Is there a way to add a canonical URL to a post so it is a syndicated one?

  Of course, in fact we do it automatically on our services. If you’re not seeing that, can you send a link to a post in question?

  Note these forums are for the sites hosted and managed here at WordPress.com. For help with a WordPress installation hosted somewhere else, you’ll need to use these forums instead:
  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  Or you’d be welcome to move your site here. :)

  My site is here: https://bellawanana.wordpress.com/. It is a free account.

  Is it remotely possible to syndicate contents from other sites to here?

  Hi there,

  I’m not exactly sure what you are meaning by “syndicate contents” in this case. Can you tell me a bit more about what you are trying to set up?

  I also noticed on https://bellawanana.wordpress.com/ that you appear to have moved to bellawanana.com, which is hosted with another provider. With this in mind I would like to clarify that we cannot help with issues on bellawanana.com as it is not hosted on our service.

  If you have any questions about bellawanana.com you can direct them to https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  Yes my main site is bellawanana.com. However, I noticed that there are some readers coming to bellawanana.wordpress.com, and I’d like to keep this free site active as well. I’d love to syndicate some of my content from bellawanana.com and articles that I find from other sites to bellawanana.wordpress.com. Is that possible?

  We do not have a way to sync content between two sites in that way. it’s actually not recommended by Google either since it will result in duplicate content which is considered an SEO no-no.

  Instead I would recommend migrating any followers you have here to your self-hosted WordPress site at bellawanana.com. You can do that by installing the Jetpack plugin on bellawanana.com, and then following these steps to move your WordPress.com subscribers over to that site: https://jetpack.com/support/subscription-migration-tool/

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
