Canonical URL was created by PCAnalyzer

Hello, I'm using last version of CB (upgraded from CB 1.9) and I'm satisfied with it. Anyway, looking at Google webmaster I noticed I have some duplicated URLs with no canonical URL, e.g. /register/userprofile/username, /component/comprofiler/userprofile/username, /component/comprofiler/userprofile/id-username and so on. Can I do something to "suggest" a single canonical URL?

Since you migrated from CB 1.x it likely didn't create all the core Joomla menu items to be used for SEF. See if you've a menu called Community Builder and on it should be various menus to CBs frontend pages. If you don't have those you should create them your self. This ensure you've proper SEF URLs reaching most of CBs core pages. Examples as follows.

Profiles:
domain/menu-alias/username
domain/menu-alias/userid-username

The above should be the only structure you should see for profile links. Example as follows.

domain/profiles/tom

Based off the SEF URLs you've provided you do not have a valid menu item to CBs profile page so it can utilize a menu alias to shorten it.
