Thanks Sofy, this is my website url.  https://mycarsfixed.com

• Sorry Louie I feel like I am hijacking your thread, hopefully my website issue cause is similar to your so you will get yours resolved as well.

Hi @forouser,

There is no any problem with your forum SEO. All is correct and will be indexed by Google without any issue. And it'll be faster indexed if you add forum sitemap.

URL is not on Google

This page is not in the index, but not because of an error. See the details below to learn why it wasn't indexed.

Coverage: Duplicate, submitted URL not selected as canonical

Actually there IS a conflict:

<!-- wpForo SEO -->
<meta name="description" content="My Cars Fixed Discussion Board" />
&
<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v9.3 - https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/ -->
<meta name="description" content="Find common problems and answers to car repair issues
, step by step tutorials, tips and advice. Join the community and get you vehicle
problems solved."/>

Good point, but this only related to the home page. The whole forum works fine without any conflict. You can disable Yoast for Home Page. There should be home page SEO configuration, just disable those.

Thank you guys for looking into this,

For the home page there is 2 questions under the YOAST setting:

1)  Allow search engines to show this Page in search results? yes/ no

2) Should search engines follow links on this Page? yes/ no

So, do I need to answer no for both questions?

Both should be enabled, please don't disable. They don't have any relation to what I was suggesting. Please ask a support question to Yoast SEO plugin "How to disable Yoast on certain page or on home page?".
