I don't want to show "Topic Tags" field and "Private Topic". How can I remove them.
Is there an option wherein, the thread starter is by default subscribed to his/her thread.
Also, while adding the Topic, the button at the bottom says "Add Topic". I want the button to say "Submit" because the user is on this page only after clicking "Add Topic" button, so now it shoud say "Submit".
Thirdly, I saw your youtube video on how to make forum as homepage. The method says to create an additional page with shortcode and make it as homepage. So won't there be 2 similar pages with same content ?
One would be domain.com/forum and the other domain.com. This would not be good for SEO etc.
Lastsly, which SEO plugin do you recommend that works well with wpforo.

Thanks for quick answers. Most of the things are sorted except:
When I change "Add Topic" to "Submit" in Access it changes on both the buttons.
I need to change only when the user has written the topic and wants to submit.
I went through this https://wpforo.com/docs/wpforo-v2/getting-started/forum-page/set-forum-on-home-page/
But again, there will be 2 pages with same content 1. domain.com and 2. domain.com/forum
Private Topic
Dashboard > wpForo > Accesses > Can set topic private
Even after setting as suggested above, i see Private option. Find the URL below to check.
