I know this was asked here, but from other posts i didn't find the solution, so please help me to change the description on the forum. I have tried on
Index Page Templates > Index , but nothing, anyone have idea where it is?
Do you mean the description of the forums/categories?
Admin CP -> Forums & Posts -> Forum Management -> *Forum* -> Edit Forum Settings -> Edit Forum -> Description

I need to change simple the description of the forum
Title ' forum '
description ' ?????? '
keywords ' forum, mybb... '
So the description it show me another old one, and i want to change it, so how to do this?
Description that's in the meta tags? You'd do that in the headerinclude template, which was in Ungrouped I think.
Admin CP -> Templates & Style -> Templates -> *Theme* -> Ungrouped Templates -> headerinclude
Note that those will be displayed on every page on your forum. Generic descriptions can be bad for SEO.
Thanks Jordan, so how i can now to display it only for the forum page, and for other pages to have a custom description, this will help a lot. And will be nice to have it working
In most templates there will be {$headerinclude} add your meta description for that page just below it.
For example the index template:
Admin CP -> Templates & Style -> Templates -> *Theme* -> Index Templates -> index
<html>
<head>
<title>{$mybb->settings['bbname']}</title>
{$headerinclude}
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
lang.no_new_posts = "{$lang->no_new_posts}";
lang.click_mark_read = "{$lang->click_mark_read}";
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
{$header}
{$forums}
{$boardstats}
<dl class="forum_legend smalltext">
<dt><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/on.gif" alt="{$lang->new_posts}" title="{$lang->new_posts}" style="vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px;" /></dt>
<dd>{$lang->new_posts}</dd>
<dt><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/off.gif" alt="{$lang->no_new_posts}" title="{$lang->no_new_posts}" style="vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px;" /></dt>
<dd>{$lang->no_new_posts}</dd>
<dt><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/offlock.gif" alt="{$lang->forum_locked}" title="{$lang->forum_locked}" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></dt>
<dd>{$lang->forum_locked}</dd>
</dl>
<br style="clear: both" />
{$footer}
</body>
</html>
{$headerinclude}
You would add your meta description here.
You could achieve this more easily with the
Google SEO plugin.
And how to set this with the google seo plugin? + I can't activate it completely. it says: Add to .htaccess:
# Some hosts require RewriteBase to make RewriteRules work.
RewriteBase /forums/
I am adding but it say again this to me
