SEO issues

Bug Reports
  • Duplicate URLs

    I was browsing webmaster tools and discovered that URLs in the sitemap are not the canonical URLs. This seems to cause confusion with the Google Indexer and for SEO purposes confusing the indexer is not a good idea:

    Missing Trailing slash on subfolder

    This is causing a 404 on maybe the most important page in the sitemap. Granted /forums/ is probably getting indexed no matter what but errors are errors and they're always bad for SEO.

    Front page is set to weekly

    Same image as above. The content on the categories page can change on a daily basis. Why is it set to weekly? Groups on the other hand rarely change.

  • Regarding the duplicate/canonical URL issue. I'm really not sure what the right answer is. Maybe it's fine the way it is, maybe the canonical URL should be the expanded version (then the sitemap might change a lot causing other SEO issues). I just wanted to bring it up for discussion.

    This happens to us too. Realtime only works sometimes or just for a minute after you load a page. If more time pass then you need to reload manually.
    Do you use cloudfare?

    Rendering as <div class="h1"> might work, so that styling isn't affected.

    @Mega Completely fixed. used the plugin admin interface to uninstall (unbuild) every theme including lavender & vanilla.

    Browsed to the node_module directory made sure all nodebb-theme-* were gone.

    made sure I stopped the server

    then did some 'npm install nodebb-theme-vanilla'
    then 'npm install nodebb-theme-lavender'

    start the server again then click theme in admin USE lavender and presto everything's back working

    cheers, looks like a tonne easier adding your own Custom HTML/CSS, saves all your settings that way 👍
