Back to User Guide

To make your Q&A forum more popular and optimized for positioning on search engines, we have added some SEO features. Every thread page has a relevant title, meta description, and keywords tags. 

You can also add custom titles for the questions index page and additional descriptions, keywords, and more in the General Settings.

The admin can choose to enable the rewriting of meta tags. If enabled, CMA will add an extra meta-tag for the purpose of optimizing SEO. If disabled, then all of the following SEO features will also be disabled. 
Note: the meta tag rewrite uses the output buffering and may cause conflicts with some themes or plugins. If you notice any issues with the display of the CMA pages, try to turn this option off.
