Here I am again with SEO doubts to solve, wishing you can help me out:


#- After the upgrades and I went from 1.8.30 to 1.8.33 I did as advised and disabled all the plugins. After when I enabled Google SEO (1.8.4) it didn't go to its prior state and showed some errors

  • Warning - URL is passive. Apply changes to core files to activate.
  • Warning - Redirect is enabled and URL is passive. Redirecting SEO URLs back to MyBB's default URLs.


Since I did not see it, for quite some time the forum started to show the new threads with the URLs the old way.


  1. What should I do? Apply those changes?
  2. Will those have an impact on the already crawled URLs?
  3. What is the best method to follow in these cases?

Do you guys use any special configuration on the plugin to get the best SEO score out of it, if so what can you tell me to do?






General SEO questions:


Is there a way to have H1; H2; H3 and create tags?



With the SEO plugin I have should I now migrate to GA4?
Is it safe or should I do anything?


Would be great to know how to get the best out of the pluginĀ 
and also MyBB so that I can score better than I am doing now




These are a lot of questions, yet there are so many pitfalls doing SEO that your help would be precious for me. I'm sure this could help also others who need a guide to put in place the best practices.

Thank you Blush
