Hello again! When adding a product to a subcategory and displaying it throughout the entire category branch, different links are assigned to the product itself. This may not be so bad, but it is annoying that the canonical link is different for each category, depending on how the product is displayed. How can I fix the canonical link so that it is fixed, or create a link so that even in the parent category there is a link to the product itself, with the subcategory location where it should be. Thanks in advance

Oleg,

That has always been am issue j2store and one that I have already fixed in the joomla 6 version of j2. Is your store a new one or was it a migaration from Joomla 3?

How many subcategories do you have in your store? 

Depending on these answers I can direct you to best way to straighten things out...

Thank you for your response, I developed on Joomla 5.3.3 and J2Store 4.017, there was no migration from Joomla 3.
