Tags and Categories Getting Indexing

[srinik]

Hi,

With nodebb system, I'm really shocked to see that only categories and tags are being indexed.

Checked the indexed urls in in Google. It didn't list the posts at all. Why is it so?

Awaiting your response.

@srinik posts don't exist as a separate view in NodeBB. You can only view a post by viewing it embedded in its respective topic.

@pitaj Thanks for the reply.

I'm not 100% convinced but will definitely go through the suggested topics.

Have a few queries:

1. I've got the NodeBB on https://telecomm.in . The recent post shows that there are 44 views but Google Webmaster Tools shows a NIL figure.

Why is it so? Is there anything wrong with it?

2. Can I further optimize the URL structure something like /%category%/%postname%/ or at least remove the stop words in the present URL structure?

   In the present URL structure, there are many words. I would like to limit them for 5-6 words in your URL slug.

Thank you @pitaj !

You probably don't have analytics set up to record dynamic page views (aka ones that don't require a cold load from NodeBB).

2. Can I further optimize the URL structure something like /%category%/%postname%/ or at least remove the stop words in the present URL structure?

Currently, the URL structure is not customizable.

@pitaj Thank you!

1. Will check the analytics set up once again.

2. Hope the URL structure will be customizable in the further updates.

3. Is there any specific procedure to add 'Suggested Topics' widget? I could only add it to Global Footer. Where can I find the specific "Topic Footer"? Is this function not extended to NodeBB v1.6.0?

[PitaJ]

@srinik I'm not sure if 1.6.0 supports it, but you should absolutely upgrade NodeBB to the latest version.

@srinik To put the suggested topics widget on topic pages you have to put in topic.tpl footer area. Here is how it looks on this forum

@pitaj Thank you, will definitely upgrade NodeBB.

@baris I could only notice global ...No other options. Where I've gone wrong? I'm using the default theme.
