TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by adjusting the metadata placement in the Next.js application to ensure it is added to the head instead of the body.

Guidance

  • Review the Next.js documentation for version 16.0.1 to understand the changes made to metadata placement and how to configure it correctly.
  • Check the next/head module usage in the application to ensure it is properly utilized to add metadata to the head of the HTML document.
  • Inspect the HTML output of the application to verify the metadata is being added to the correct location.
  • Consider using the next/head module's Head component to manually control the placement of metadata in the head of the document.

Example

No example code is provided due to the lack of specific code details in the issue.

Notes

The solution may require updates to the application code to accommodate the changes in Next.js version 16.0.1. It is recommended to review the official Next.js documentation and release notes for version 16.0.1 to understand the changes and how to adapt the application accordingly.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the metadata placement in the application code to ensure it is added to the head instead of the body, as the new version of Next.js (16.0.1) has changed the default behavior.
