Are you a paid user of Wpforo? Have add ons and all that? Or just like to come here and complain about something you use for free?
These guys do an amazing job with this software! I have watched it develop for over 2 years and every time they make a new update it gets better.
Thanks to the team for all the hard work they put in.

@percysgrowroom You are ahead of me. Thanks to the Team of WPForo.
In case you use LaTex math plugins in your forum, we recommend put this hook code in the functions.php file of your current WordPress active theme to avoid Q&A Schema parsing issues:
add_filter('wpforo_seo_meta_tags', 'wpforo_latext_filter_for_seo_tags');
function wpforo_latext_filter_for_seo_tags( $content ){
$pth = array( '|\$\$|', '|\$(\p{L})|u', '|(\p{L})\$|u', '|\\\text\{([^\}]+)\}|', '|\}\$|', '|\$\\\|', '|\\\pm|', '|\\\times|', '|\\\div|', '|\\\mathrm\{~?(\w{1,3})\}|', '|\\\Rightarrow|', '|\\\Leftarrow|', '|\\\cdot|', '|\\\right\)|', '|\\\left\(|', '|=\$\$=|', '|\\\(\p{L}+)\s?|', '|\\\|' );
$rep = array( ' ', '$1', '$1', ' $1 ', '}', '\\', '+/-', 'x', '/', '$1', '=>', '<=', '.', ')', '(', ' = ', ' $1 ', '' );
$content_fixed = preg_replace($pth, $rep, $content);
if( $content_fixed ) return $content_fixed;
return $content;
}
