Hello,

In Google Search Guidelines https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en
we can read :
"Avoid errors: use absolute paths rather than relative paths with the rel="canonical" link element.
Use this structure: https://www.example.com/dresses/green/greendresss.html
Not this structure: /dresses/green/greendress.html)."

I don't see "absolute URL" generated in Piwigo Gallery by the the header template :
{if isset($U_CANONICAL) }<link rel="canonical" href="{$U_CANONICAL}">{/if}

I realized that there were plenty of variants addresses the same page referenced in Google Search
Example : URL generated by RV Thumb Scroller plugin with start- content (pagination) probably because the canonical url haven't be crawled correctly ?
