Flarum SEO

OwlGreen

Very bad seo for Yandex search
More page have this description:
Something went wrong while trying to load the full version of this site. Try hard-refreshing this page to fix the error.

And extension do not created robots.txt and not change this file if create it manually... why need this options in ACP if it's not work?

OwlGreen discuss.flarum.org is not using this extension. See this discussion if you want to learn more about the setup for the Flarum Community https://discuss.flarum.org/d/22190-extensions-of-discuss

It seems like Yandex just shows the first text it finds in the page body, which happens to be the text in case javascript can't be loaded (that has display: none applied), rather than jumping directly to the noscript tag or selecting the most relevant part of the page like other engines seem to do. Most likely this wouldn't happen with the SEO extension because the extension adds meta tags in the page with a description that will take priority over the default.

If you have an issue with this extension, please share a website URL where the extension is active so the author can take a look at the problem.

JasperVriends Hi, somehow after changing the image in 1st post and clearing the cache again, og:image got updated with new one !
Facebook takes only .jpg or .png as og:image . It is yet to consider .webp .avif or other formats

In the Share button, is it possible to add more social media sites like Pinterest etc

cilia

is there a way to improve the ranking of forum on google (I already use this extension but the ranking is still not very good)

Oshvam

cilia No extension is going to make your forum rank better in Google. You will need to work on content, internal and external linking profile, and web speed. Extensions like this help Google understand your site better, but they don't make it rank.

Encourage your users to create quality content that helps other users. Otherwise, Google will understand that the content on your site does not add value.

I am a professional SEO, and I bet on Flarum because of how it is built. It is far away from the conventional forum scheme, which makes conversations flow and there is always movement. In addition, its loading speed and responsiveness are exceptional (maybe a lot of JS, but Google understands it well).

JasperVriends when can we except this to be rolled out?

masihdindar

Is this still working?

GreXXL

masihdindar yes. Extensions not working and not maintained will be marked by staff once reported issues arise.

User24

JasperVriends Currently it's not possible to select a custom static-image or description for a topic. However, I'm currently working on a 2.0 update that will include custom SEO-image, SEO-description and SEO-tags 🙂

🤩 Excited about this and my forum need this badly TBH. If anyone's aware of the progress lemme know please.

I'd like to ask a beginner's question.

My Flarum was installed a month ago and works very well 🙂

So I want to take a closer look at SEO. If I install this extension, referencing will be much improved?

It breaks flarum:

Exception

/flarum/vendor/v17development/flarum-seo/src/Extend.php
        self::$container->setSchemaJson($key, $value);
    }

    /**

     *

     */
    public static function finish($caller) {
        if(self::$container === null) self::throwError("finish");
        if(get_class($caller) !== "V17Development\FlarumSeo\Listeners\BeforePageRenders") throw new \Exception("V17Development\FlarumSeo\Extend::finish(..): Do not call this class");
        
        self::$container->finish();
    }

Benito

Benito Any news on this please? Anyone experiencing the same issue?

clarkwinkelmann

Benito Benito while we wait for the extension author to take a look, you might be able to provide more information:

When/where does the error appear? Upon which action?
Did the error start happening from the moment you installed the extension or did it work previously?
Is there a more complete backtrace or additional error messages in the Flarum log file?
Can you share your php flarum info output?

You can also try disabling other extensions to see whether the issue goes away.

Benito

Hi,

I am attaching the settings.
This problem happens when I try to install the seo blog extension only.
I disabled all the extensions and tried, no errors, but as soon as I reenable the blog extension, the error shows up.
It is some kind of conflict between the blog extension and the seo extension.

Benito Hello, since the error occurs because you are trying to access a container before it is fully initialised. Try the following:

Disable both extensions.
Use the "Purge" button on these two extensions.
Activate Flarum SEO first.
Then purge Flarum cache: php flarum cache:clear.
Then activate Flarum Blog.

If the problem occurs during installation:

Deactivate Flarum SEO.
Use the purge button in Flarum SEO.
Uninstall Flarum SEO.
Purge Flarum cache: php flarum cache:clear.
Install Flarum Blog.
Activate Flarum Blog.
Install Flarum SEO.
Activate Flarum SEO.

If none of this works, please try sharing your logfile details when you try to install.

Benito

Hi,

If I remove the Flarum blog I will lose all my current data right?

Thank you,

Benito

Ok I got it.

So I removed the blog, deleted the cache via command line and the flush button.
Installed the SEO plugin first, then installed the blog, emptied the cache again.

The only issue is that I had lost all my images urls, spent ages trying to reconnect everything.

Thanks again for your help.

Oshvam

Benito Glad to have helped 😊

Benito

Is there an easy way to remove "Blog" from all the page titles without editing the main module code?

kejunchen

Does this command works for everybody? I have return with note: composer 2.3.0 dropped support for PHP < 7.2.5 and you are running 5.6.40, please upgrade PHP or use composer 2.2. LTS via "composer self-udpate --2.2". Aborting.

clarkwinkelmann

kejunchen this has nothing to do with this extension. You must change your "command line" PHP version to something more recent. Ideally the exact same PHP version as you use for the webserver. If your host does not let you change the command line PHP versions, there are ways to call Composer/Flarum with a specific PHP version. Please start a new support discussion if you need help with this.
