I have a wordpress on my root directory so the forum was installed inside the /forum directory. This was previously a vbulletin and was migrated to xenforo. however I am running to an issue with the URLS. the old VB urls are /forum/introductions but on xenforo right now it is...

I'm wondering if having a Welcome Message is worth the page space it occupies as it takes up almost 2/3's of the homepage's landscape. I'm also curious if the main Logo is too large because it takes up a good part of the page as well. If I make it smaller, then it will hide the background...

Does anyone know if RSS feeds hurt my site's SEO rankings? I've been super lazy and just use articles from the #1 site called "Operation Sports" to use as the main articles on my homepage. I'm familiar with backlinks and I know I'm helping them more than myself. I also know that "unique...

Does anyone know how best (or if there's an SEO need) to make urls more friendly in XenForo 2? I know there's an option for it in the admin settings, but I'm not sure how to approach it the best way. My issue is there's a thread id attached to the end of my urls and I think it would be cleaner...

Hi, I want to switch from vBulletin to XenForo. Everything seems fine so far, but I need help with URL rewriting. Here's an example on actual url formatting: /forum/forum-321/Example-thread-title-7246824.php so the pattern is: /forum/forum-{forum-id}/{thread-title}-{thread-id}.php How do I...

Previous thread: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/structured-data-for-rich-cards.116311/ I don't think the previous thread got enough visibility.. Rich card support is very important for proper SEO results, and can boost your traffic from Google substantially. The structured data can...

THIS RELEASE IS UNSUPPORTED AND PROVIDED ENTIRELY AS-IS WITH NO GUARANTEES, WARRANTIES OR PROMISE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU. This script lets you import your old DragonByte SEO configuration and have any supported URLs redirected to XF2. Which URLs are supported depends on the XenForo Redirects for...

This API can identify pages with dead links from Google Search Console / Google Webmaster Tools. My suggestion is to automatically create reports for this, so that staff can check these pages. There should be a maximum / throttle, so that it doesn't generate thousands of reports. Optimally...

We need friedly urls like on site. How we can do like this structure? domainforum.com/to-france/paris/about/ "to-france" - forum "paris" - subforum "about" - forum thread in "to-france"

Hello Community, With Xenforo 2.0.1 there is a possibility with the noFollow attribute on all external links. In the ACP I find no such option where I can adjust that. I would like to post in the forum any external link NoFollow attribute. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to add the page number at the end of the forum meta description. The problem is that every page of every forum shows the forum description as meta description, so all those pages appear like duplicates in Google Search Console. If we add "page 2", "page 3"... and...

Xenforo still retains the code style of vBulletin: <span style="font-size: 26px">XenForo Resource Manager 2.0</span><br> <br> <br> <span style="font-size: 22px">Multiple uploaded file support</span><br> <br> A single resource may now contain more than one uploaded file. If a resource contains...

Which is good for SEO?

Google Webmaster Tools sees XenForo Content Tag pages as separate pages, instead of the continuation of the same content list. GWT reports all second pages of content tag lists as 'Pages with duplicate title tags'. Example of tag pages Google reports as 'Pages with duplicate title tags'...

We have many forums (but no subforums within forums) and I believe it's best for SEO purposes to have the particular forum name included in the thread URLs. Is it possible to configure XF such that the URL of my threads includes the forum name as a directory? Like this: mysite.com/[forum...

Hi All... Ok, well, I moved DBSTalk.com and TiVoCommunity.com from IPB to xenForo back in November and from that time I have seen my traffic drop off a good deal. I can only think that it is SEO related as IPB seemed to do a very good job and we were ranked very, very well. Both these sites...

Is too much quotes/repeated text hurting seo of forums? What do you think about it?

hi, i would like to share with you my new seo strategy for my xenforo forum It's an 11 years old board (it was a phpbb2 before i move to xenforo 2 years ago) i have around 15 000 pages indexed in Google i decide yesterday to make a very big move in my forum management (good or bad i will see)...

It would be very valuable for the XenForo addon scene if every install of xenforo would have the function to display slow queries to the admin. It would show the admin that users are experiencing slow loading pages and therefore they can act upon it, by: Reporting slow Queries to the addon...
