Regarding SEO, can Google actually read the content of the threads on the pages of the forums?

I only can say it works fine here, it's tested on many sites. So Yoast SEO has more chance to work with wpForo at the moment. Currently we're working to eliminate conflicts with other SEO plugins.

So if i disable my All In One SEO plug in and only use Yoast SEO It should fix the problem?

According to my host it says my ranking on Google is page 1 site 4. If you search "Axolotl City" the information is currently accurate.

It may not conflict, its not mandatory. The time of index depends on website rank and language. On wpForo.com new topics become available in google.com within 24 hours. Here we use the same plugin without with default configurations, nothing special and extra.

That because you use All In One SEO pack plugin, this plugin removes wpForo forum/topic SEO titles.

I'm also using All in One SEO and I do not see on my site that issue unless if I'm missing something. In other word either I did not understand the question or the answer.
My forum:
http://www.mityaalim.org/community/

From my experience with SEO, it takes more then 2 months to show-up in the search engines.

Thank you

That because you use All In One SEO pack plugin, this plugin removes wpForo forum/topic SEO titles. You should change it to Yoast SEO or wait for future wpForo versions. We work on this to make wpForo SEO compatible with All in One SEO Pack.

Hi mikeg,

It seems you have conflict with other SEO plugins. please make sure forums and topics has according meta title and description.

wpForo SEO based on main SEO components:

SEO Friendly URLs
Meta Title for forums and topics (and other pages)
Auto-generated Meta Description for forums and topics (and other pages)
Open Graph and Social Engine SEO tags.
Well formatted and SEO friendly content structure.

You can check it for wpforo.com. It's being indexed very well, you can see new topics and posts in Google result after 1-2 hours (use time tool in search result).

More info about wpForo SEO:

BTW: please leave your forum URL, we'll check and let you know if wpForo SEO works or not.
