Flarum Meta Description

Sanjay

Hi, I would like to thank Flarum team for such a beautiful open forum script. I'll donate at my first revenue generated by website using Flarum.

Due to some reasons, My website running flarum is't appearing on google search results even through I type the complete website name. Hence, I have checked its SEO settings using seositecheckup.com which appears that

"The meta description tag is missing from your page. You should include this tag in order to provide a brief description of your page which can be used by search engines. Well-written and inviting meta descriptions may also help click-through rates to your site in search engine results"

In order to fix this, here is what they suggest.
"In order to pass this test you must include a meta-description tag in your page header (<head> section):"

<head>
	<meta name="description" content="type_your_description_here">
</head>

Note that in HTML the <meta> tag has no end tag but in XHTML this tag must be properly closed.
Meta description can have any length but a good practice is to keep this under 160 characters (search engines generally truncate snippets longer than this value)."

Now, I'm wondering in which file I'm supposed to make those changes ?

Thanks in advance !

Try putting your meta code in the custom header section, in appearance settings.

<meta name="description" content="type_your_description_here">

0E800 Hey, Thanks mate, that was simple.

And also I'm trying to add google analytics to my site. So is this okay and appropriate to add the following code in custom header ?

 <?php include_once("analyticstracking.php") ?>

Where analysticstracking.php is in the root directory of the Flarum.

Thanks again @0E800

If you use the google analytics extension, you don't need to add the analytics code to the custom headers.
