Description of the Change
Distributor plugin is modifying canonical URL of distributed post and pointing to original website. In some situations, for example when original post is in password-protected area, this behavior is unexpected.
Alternate Designs
I suggested to add an option in admin or hook, but @adamsilverstein suggests just remove applied filters and add a section in docs.
Benefits
Better documentation?
Possible Drawbacks
I don't see any
