Hey Raul,

Have you taken a look in Forum > Components > SEO?

Yes, i have selected:

 
 
 
Select meta description option:
 
Use custom meta description on main forum page only, use forum description on forum pages and use first post excerpt (120 chars) on topic pages

the meta description is wrong, empty or non existent?

I use yoast seo on a site plus couple test sites so know it has been working…  but he constantly changes things so perhaps he has done it again and broken other plugins…

will visit my test sites and have a look…

yes, its working fine with yoast seo on my tests…

and looking at your site, I also see our meta description tags being output fine…  but I also see yoast outputting a fixed meta description on forum pages…  I suspect this means on the wp page you have the forum displaying on, you have entered a custom meta description… hence why you get two…

so edit the wp page the forum is on (foro-padel) and check the yoast seo section of the panel…  did you enter a fixed, custom meta description?

No..  I said look at the wp page the forum is on…  in the wp admin, the wp pages, edit the one the forum is on…  looks like you have set up a custom description there for yoast to use which will duplicate/override ours…

It’s shocking I know but I am afraid I have no experience with Yoast’s SEO plugin – for that we really do need @mr-papa to step in who will not be so available on the forums over the next 2-3 days. But I know he is hoping to take a pass tonight so hopefiully he will be able to do so and suggest what you may need to look for next.

wait a minute… lets go back to post #6…  look at the upper right panel for meta description…  Its says do not any meta description to forum pages…  that image does not agree with what you said on post #3… so bit confused…

Sorry, post 6 is bad.

This is the configuration, but i have 2 important problem:

  • meta-descriptions do not appear in googleç
  • new topics are very slow to index (or appear no index in webmasters tools)

Sorry for the long delay. Mr Papa should be back on the forum some time today.

#1, we dont make them appear in google… we can just make the description appear in the meta tags…

#2, again we dont control when google indexes the site… have you installed a sitemap index that includes the forum?  our sitemap index plugin supports three of the major wp seo plugins (all in one, wp seo and google xml sitemaps)…
