Ghost: Setting a canonical URL in a post header doesn't override the old canonical URL

Please stop ignoring critical issues in the system!

Related issue is here.

This bug makes it impossible to set canonical urls properly which is mandatory for proper SEO!

I tried setting a canonical url for a post in Code Injection > Post Header but I still see the old canonical URL set by Ghost.

I’m trying to publish a guest post on a blog and I can’t do it while I can’t set the canonical url for my post to point to the original article.

Is there a solution for this which works now? We’re blocked by this bug.

This is not a feature request but a bug report. But you know what? I'm a Ghost user no longer.
