Mr Papa you say i can do it by forum and post only when i select a forum our post i dont see a seo option.

This are my general seo settings

Beside the xml sitemap plugin that is not installed are there any settings that are not correct ?

personally, I like including the blog name and the page name… but that is more preference than required…

but more importantly, you have checked use custom meta description on all forum pages and have not entered a custom meta description… so you get nothing…

personally, I would check the last option for custom meta description…  use custom description on main forum page and then the forum meta description on forum view and the first post excerpt…

I would also use the custom keywords and then enter some…  if you had tags plugin enabled you could make the custom keywords be the tags for that topic…

cool thanks for  the tip about the tags plugin. realy use full i think.

The topic tags that I enter should I separete them with a   , 

?

And how much tags should I maximum use for 1 topic ?

Thanks

yes, comma separated…

amount of tags is personal preference…  guess I would say no more than 10…  but not a hard number…

sentences would typical go in the meta description… keywords would be in the keywords…  phrases are okay, like ‘support forum’…  but not typical sentence form…

we have direct calls to the AIOSEO API so it is probably slightly better.
As to the google sitemap plugin – also install the SP google sitermap support plugin which works with the WP plugin.
