Gotta Love This Latest Update! And I'm sure Google will too.. wink

I found it's best to have a small forum page featured image enabled. Otherwise SimplePress will pick an image out of the media library (ouch.. lol) for any forum page that does not have an uploaded image to use as the og:image. 

Here is a screenshot showing what to check in your simplepress seo component setting. I'm wondering if the open graph type should be changed to forum? Though the default website is probably fine.

Yes Indeedy.. cool

The alt tags errors are down to 4-5 missing where it was 22 i believe before. I use Bing webmaster tools to seo check the forum. It is giving a missing alt description to uploaded forum images. I know they are there because i edit the img and alt descriptions to be post relevant. Must be a bug in their tool. 

Otherwise great work!

If anyone wants to join my Donald Trump discussions be my guest. wink

I think I will pass on Donald Trump discussion. As an Englishman and a Liberal I would definitely be in the wrong place 🙂 But I like the fact that he is politically incorrect. I am not THAT much of a liberal!

So when you view the source code itself for these images do they have a valid alt tag?

I must have misread the line. Mine are there but the image enlarge icon is missing it's alt description, no big deal on that.

As for Trump.. I'm a lifelong Florida resident just about to turn 64. In my personal opinion our government sucks! These politicians in Washington are making deals that sell America Out! It's time for a big change in Washington.

Just Trumps statement alone about all the millions of cars being built in Mexico while Detroit is mostly abandoned hits home hard. I fondly remember our Detroit iron that was the pride of America. Donald Trump is right about one thing, the Mexican Government is smarter than ours! We need to do something about that and quick!

can confirm no alt tag on the enlarger icon... certainly no impact to your ranking, but will open a ticket to resolve...

I will gather the ones that need the alt description filled in. Think there are only 5.  One being the members avatar. 

The og addition is fantastic. My shared posts are even generating twitter summary cards.
