Outputs a canonical tag automatically for every page and allows per-post custom canonical URL overrides.

Canonical URL Manager ensures every page of your site has a proper `rel=canonical` tag, pointing search engines to the authoritative version of each URL.

* Per-post custom canonical override via meta box
* Option to replace WordPress's default `rel_canonical` output
* Optional trailing slash enforcement to match your permalink settings
* Clean, minimal code — no bloat

2. Activate through **Plugins > Installed Plugins**.
