The rest of my site had no problem getting indexed.

For some reason, my forum pages (even the topic index pages), don't get indexed.

Submitted the sitemap to Google Search console and they are discovering the URLs, but not indexing any of them.

Any particular reason this might be happening.  When I used vbulletin, all my URL's would get indexed immediately.

Hi Louie,

wpForo has no any issue with indexing, even more it's well organized for Search Engines and the built-in site map helps too.

Any particular reason this might be happening. When I used vbulletin, all my URL's would get indexed immediately.

There is no any reason from wpForo side. I think you just need to wait more and check your website in blacklists. Maybe recently google stops indexing your site for other reasons. I have no information how to check website in blacklists you should find them in Google Search.

Ok

Maybe recently google stops indexing your site for other reasons.

Almost every forum was always automatically indexed for 15 years using vbulletin

Solution for what ?

If google doesn't want/like/rank your site or forum, there is a very slow or even zero indexing.

My website has only about us page, home page and forum page. Both the home and about us page indexed except the forum page, even if I typed the url directly in the search engine. I am wondering if some plugins that I installed are interfering with Wpforo.
