orschiro try installing the extension related to SEO and Sitemap , check if you have configured Robots.txt correctly . If you didn't do anything wrong, maybe it's a google console problem , wait a week and then try again. My site is still indexed by google, even though I haven't submitted it to the console yet. But as Sekvo said, you should submit with Https

    Hi Skevo , I just want to say that I have tested and freelarum can proxy via Cloudflare.

    Configure DNS as instructed, and once the forum is up and running, set SSL to Full + enable proxy for subdomains , now you can take advantage of these additional benefits that cloudflare brings.

    So far my forum has not had any problems. I think we can include it in the tutorial as an extra option ( cloudflare has helped me a lot about ping since freelarum is not expanding to Asia yet )

      AowVN that sounds great, thanks for checking it out. I'll remember to put it into documentation along with other stuff in the future. Since the documentation hasn't updated in a while now, I am thinking that we could rework most of it anyways

      Hello I am getting "Flarum encountered a boot error. Details have been logged to the Flarum log file."

      Thanks.

        I got the same on my forum some 2 hours ago. Became alright by itself in around 5 minutes' time.

        It could've been just a temporary error. Logs say that "Connection refused" for MySQL. Perhaps it had higher load than usual

        wolfshards Did you ever find anything out, I too have the VAPID key generation problem. Have tried all sorts of things, I cannot get it to work. Thanks!

          AowVN thanks again for recommending the SEO extension. Love the health check! 🙂

          Hey, @SKevo

          Long time no see, so I'm having problems with my forum, I added 2fa and forgot to save my 2fa stuff after i rebooted my computer, any chance you can remove the 2fa from my account alone, I don't wanna be locked out my forum.

            Proochles please tell me your forum name. I could disable the 2FA extension for you so you can login without being prompted & update your account settings after re-enabling the extension

              Mel I think this error come from any forums got recently created or restored that due broke VAPID Keys. I think this was come from the FF side that config broke something.

              Is there a way to be able to upload PDF's?

                Lodgee I think fof/upload is installed which requires of you some offsite storage (s3 and the likes). If so you can upload any file you want (which doesn't breach terms of use).

                  luceos great thank you. I've activated FoF Upload and can see there's options for S3 and Imgur. I don't know how to go about the configuration. Are there instructions for this? Do I need another hosting platform for the documents?

                    Lodgee steps on how to proceed are described here: https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/upload#Configuration. This is focused on configuring the mimetypes. Here's AWS S3 configuration page: https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/upload/wiki/aws-s3 (we should have the required package installed). Imgur currently doesn't have it's own guide, as far as I know.

                    And so yes, you need to either rent an S3 bucket or use an Imgur API key, which I believe is still free for image uploads.

                      SKevo Thanks, although that all sounds a bit too advanced for me. Is there anyone who can help set it up?

                        Lodgee I personally don't use that extension, nor S3/Imgur services. So, I recommend you to create a new post in FoF Upload's thread instead, and I am sure that someone will assist you: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4154

                        Hi everyone!

                        How can I use CloudFlare for the email sending with your own domain?

                        Anyone knows how to configure this properly?

                        Thanks ahead!
