Re: Stuck using automatic update from 3.2.2 to 3.3.1

I never mentioned my expectations, that is speculation. I know with my hard edits, I will have even more issues. This is why I don't update often. I realize that there was an auto-update avail for 3.2.2 --> 3.3 ??? And I followed the instructions I was lead to. I also read: https://www.phpbb.com/sup...

Re: Stuck using automatic update from 3.2.2 to 3.3.1

Never mind, I just downloaded the full package and pulled the culprit file from that. Once uploaded to existing installation, everything worked as intended for the update. However, the merging process didn't seem to work for me as intended here. I'll figure out later what modifications I had done to...

Stuck using automatic update from 3.2.2 to 3.3.1

I followed these instructions: https://www.phpbb.com/support/documents.php?mode=install&version=3.2#update_auto I then manually deleted the files that it instructed me to, however this one is giving me an issue: https://prnt.sc/v1v4b6 After clicking 'Update Files' it brings me right back to: htt...

Re: Are there any PHPbb SEO tools to improve seo?

I like the point you brought to the table about the -f parameter & canonical. phpBB has to be aware, why is that not something they would fix on their own? I mean, the reasoning behind it? And perhaps you could suggest your edits to area51.phpbb mate! Along with the f parameter when it was intr...

Re: Are there any PHPbb SEO tools to improve seo?

Right on, sounds like you have a great plan and well thought out. I'm happy with my current index with phpBB dynamic-urls. Generally page one or two currently, and I have little content imo. Of course no matter the site platform, the search terms are the key factor. I also have several WP sites runn...

Re: Are there any PHPbb SEO tools to improve seo?

Very Sorry for double post, but wanna shorten conversation with thecoalman. @thecoalman, thanks for some very valuable info. So with your current rewrites, you have no issue with dupes simply because, as you stated, one instead uses the topic_id parameter to end the friendly url. Sweet stuff. And li...

You should read the README file with the package and follow what it says.

Now if you would like support for it, I would suggest posting 'kindly' where you downloaded it. ;)

Re: Are there any PHPbb SEO tools to improve seo?

The other issues most links on the forum use the f parameter yet the canonical URL does not have it. So glad you said this! Well, I have not yet seen a fresh phpBB package display any meta descriptions yet for 'topic urls', so not sure about what we are letting phpBB do there, if anything?! Inconsi...

Re: Are there any PHPbb SEO tools to improve seo?

Some intelligent remarks made by thecoalman imo! :praise: For all those still thinking about converting urls to friendly, here's my peace... just don't for your own benefit. Your energy can be spent better elsewhere. Let the search engines handle the dynamic urls like they already know how and prefe...

Here's a pro version that I would use. https://www.inveostore.com/phpbb-seo-extension-40 Nice one, but I inspected the demo, and do not see any META tags in the header of that phpBB site demo they got with it running.

Re: Are there any PHPbb SEO tools to improve seo?

And you think that after 20 years of PHPBB it is a mistake that the don't use the meta description? No. Nothing is wrong with the standard phpBB package. What I'm simply saying here is a meta description tag is displayed to humans when the url is shown on search results, therefor enticing human cli...
