Flarum SEO

robinodds GOt it.

Hello v17 dev thanks for this seo extension it's too good,

A quick feedback

This extension mentions that it will automatically add accepted answer schema in head tag when fof best answer is selected in the post but it's not doing so I checked the source it's not added, also I cleared cache even tried on a fresh flarum install but still didn't work. So is this a bug or it can be fixed by configuring something??

Hello everyone,

At first, thank you all for your patience. We're sorry to let you guys all wait for so long. We know you like our products and some of you depend on them. It is no fun to have the feeling that an extension is no longer maintained. However, this is not the case. We want to tell you that this and all our other extensions are still maintained and fully supported.

Due to a personal situation at one of our two-headed team there simply was something else on our minds, which meant that we temporarily had to "pause" our updates for this extensions. Together with amazing contributors we tried our best to keep the extensions active, but this has his limits as well.

Before we continue, we like to thank all fans, users and contributors again. You guys are amazing.

As of development. The moment you've all been waiting for is finally there. We will now officially resume development on the Flarum Extensions. Our Premium Extension will of course take priority, but don't worry, the Flarum SEO, Flarum Blogs and Flarum User Badges extension will get updates as well.

We expect to release bug-fixes for our extensions this week.

Recently there were a few questions on why I was answering a lot of things. Even although Jasper is the main developer of the Flarum Products we offer, the owner of the extensions is the company V17 Development, which we run together.

Let's party together and let us know how we can help you! And hey, did you see the user initiative for Flarum Blogs yet? It is absolutely amazing that there is such engagement with the Blogs extension. We love it. Together with you, the Flarum Blogs Discord Server and Sponsors we'd like to make Flarum Blogs even greater!

Best regards,
Jasper & Pascal

Seems to have a bug that (I presume) if you have fof/best answer installed it will add"@type":"QAPage"and "@type":"Question" irregardless of the tags setting i.e I have a specific tag for Best Answers but it's applying to all tags/posts.

This results in a fair amount of errors and growing on Google's search console as it's expecting acceptedAnswer or suggestedAnswer which is obviously not coming thus the error remains.

I've validated it comes from the SEO extension by simply turning it off and error vanishes. I did take note of the "don't post bugs here but on GitHub" but the issue has been reported already so just a heads up for others that may use the pairing.

i have a question for the "Description" Tag:
Why does it only have the default description from the home page?
Each post / question should not have the description from the home page. Or should not be everywhere the same description.

Maybe vervenden the first text lines for this?
stackoverflow.com waives the meta tag description

basti4k Why does it only have the default description from the home page?

flarum things it is coming from the core, not from the SEO extension.

basti4k Each post / question should not have the description from the home page. Or should not be everywhere the same description.

flarum divides every 10 to 20 posts into pages near?1 , near?2 and it should carry either the page's first post as description (this is not ideal because we may end up having pages with duplicate titles and descriptions for many sub-pages which is not good SEO) or the first post of the page as a page description but that's not happening, the team need to focus these small things but due to various tasks priority for SEO is so so at this moment.

now you are a true flarumate .. keep sharing your feedback, the team is promised to improve SEO in future builds.

especially flarum team and askvortsov is so friendly and listens to all our SEO wishes ‍

as far I know SEO extension author is not active on flarum so I am not expecting any new features or improvements from the author in the near future.

basti4k this extension is not an official one so flarum has no interference in this, since the extension and flarum both are open sources we are free to fork and develop our own version or one can hire developers to improve the current extensions.
if you would like to hire, firstly it would be nice to contact the author or v17 development group (it is an organization or something). @v17development @JasperVriends is also in flarum discord it is okay to ping him to check whether he is willing to do commissioned work or not at this moment.

on the other hand, Blomastra is working on an SEO extension it does not exactly fill our requirement but once check the first post of this discussion https://discuss.flarum.org/d/27092-blomstra-meta-an-open-graph-and-schemaorg-extension-with-cards/17

list all features that you need before approaching devs

One important thing is flarum team is working hard towards the core improvements/enhancements, at the same time they do give importance to SEO consider reporting at github https://github.com/flarum/core/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen

edit: @basti4k i forgot to mention this, To solve this issue temporarily we restricted indexing all sub URLs on google using this extension https://github.com/SychO9/flarum-discussion-canonical-url

if we do not index sub-pages so there will be no duplication of description to sub pages or same page title (same page title is recently fixed in v1.2 for all sub posts)
