Will Google index older posts in Phpbb 3.0.12?

Post by SGvagon »

Hello,

I made a mistake in 2015 and not set my forums to allow bots to view/index my posts.

So I changed permissions to allow bots view all the forums. But my question is, how long will Google index these older posts from 2015? Or is it still possible to Google will Index them?

I added TXT parameter for Google Search Console to my website URL DNS and I can manually index all posts, but I have 313 posts, so this take lots of work for index all posts.

Thank you in advance

Yes, Google will find and index these topics now that you've allowed bots to access.

You can also speed up the process by requesting those specific pages to be indexed in your Google Search Console, too.

Thanks :) . Now I installed Sitemap mod as well, so I hope that Google will index these posts faster.

Yep, don't forget to ping those pages you want indexed, too. You can do that by using Pingomatic.

For me when I use this it'll index a specific page within about 6 hours and less than 3 hours if it's a completely new topic altogether.
