Flarum SEO

Hari

majbador I tried sharing the site on Facebook and no forum description or social media image is appearing

Goto SEO extension and add social image, make sure you added description to forum. I will post screenshots tomorrow. Now replying to thes using mobile.

Observe the health check page.

Hari Thanks! This is what I did so far. Will check again tomorrow.

mine is not working after the upgrade to flarum 1.3.1.

I checked the settings, everything seems in order.

Any idea what might be the issue?

Thanks for this extension (good for facebook thumbnail)!

Is there a plan to change this part in the future?

This extension will also make sure that external links (to other domains) open in a new tab. Currently it is not possible to disable this setting.

It can be problematic to be stuck with target="_blank" on every link, and to have to choose between this extension and target="_self" if people prefer it.

Also, a little bug to report: it also opens internal link in a new tab if you write them without the root url (just what comes after the d/).

Is there a way to make it work with with the Blog extension?

JasperVriends

Malaka Those are set using the 'Likes' extension for the post that is visible 🙂

typ1k Should already work! De SEO extension will use the blog image which is selected

I fiddled around a bit and got to know my problem better.
So I want to share a blog post on facebook, and when I do the image in the link is the image i put in in SEO settings.
I want the image to be from the blog post. Any solution?

Performance Issue

Search engines will understand the discussions and are even able to show some relevant posts underneath the search results. When you have the extension 'best answer' installed and enabled on your forum, it will mark the discussion as 'answered' on the search results and redirect the user to that specific post. However, depending on your server settings, this can be heavier. It may cost some performance, so it depends on how fast your server is to enable this feature.

Crawl all posts (it's slower on page refresh, but search results will be better)

Any chance you could take a look into this?

Our server is completely oversized but still throttles a lot if that is switched on. Better search results is a great but waiting more than 30sec for a discussion to open instead of 1-2sec is not just "some performance" loss.

What are "votes" in a Google snippet? I mean, where do they show up on the site - is it the likes of the first post or what?

JasperVriends FoF Gamification does not work, it's either Likes or nothing, yes?

This is a bug.

[2022-12-20 08:41:05] flarum.ERROR: TypeError: V17Development\FlarumSeo\Formatter\FormatLinks::__invoke(): Argument #1 ($renderer) must be of type s9e\TextFormatter\Renderer, __PHP_Incomplete_Class given, called in /www/wwwroot/latife.me/vendor/flarum/core/src/Foundation/ContainerUtil.php on line 30 and defined in /www/wwwroot/latife.me/vendor/v17development/flarum-seo/src/Formatter/FormatLinks.php:56

Chihiro that error also happened to other Flarum users who did not use the SEO extension.

Try clearing the cache and verify Flarum is able to override/delete all files in the storage folder. It's possible some files are owned by the wrong filesystem user and that Flarum cannot fully clear the cache.

Chihiro

clarkwinkelmann Oh, I have tried to clear the cache, and there is no problem with permission configuration
The storage has been completely covered
Sometime, it suddenly appeared in my diary today.

Is there any way to re-generate meta tags (for og:image and description). Someone edited and replaced JPG in 1st post but extension still taking logo as og:image.
cache clear as admin didnt regenerate

JasperVriends

wbntff Hey, meta-tags are currently auto-generated whenever the page is loaded (they are currently not cached). So if an image was changed and it isn't shown, I think the extension might not recognize the image as an image (perhaps the URL does not match the regex).

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 🙂

If you have any other feedback, let me know!

wbntff

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

User24

JasperVriends when can we except this to be rolled out?

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

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.
