Please give us a description of what happened.

I made a change to my site address, from mysite.com to mysite.com.ar, but the canonical page and post address points to the old address.

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

that the canonical address uses the address configured in wordpress

How can we reproduce this behavior?

1. Change you sit url in settings
2. Check the canonical of post and pages in source code

You should try to "reset indexables". There are two ways:

Hi stodorovic, thank you for your help.

for the moment I solved it by massively saving all the pages and posts back, but I think it should be automatic, because the impact is great for SEO,

Yoast uses the hook update_option_home to rebuild indexables after change, but I didn't test how it works. Did you change WordPress and Site URL via Dashboard or wp-cli or direct MySQL query?

Hi stodorovic, i change WordPress and Site URL via Dashboard

Well, just tested and this seems to be still an issue on Yoast 14.6-RC. Changing the home- and siteurl does not seem to NULL the indexables. On update_option_home only the homepage gets reset, but all other permalinks stay the same.
