Hi,
How do I set a description for my site which will be indexed by search engines?
Thanks.
Admin CP > Templates & Style > Templates > Your Template Set > Ungrouped Templates > headerinclude.
Find:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="{$lang->latest_threads} (Atom 1.0)" href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/syndication.php?type=atom1.0" />
Add below:
<meta name="description" content="Example description." />
It will take a while to take effect though.
You should add that to the index template, rather than headerinclude, or you'll have the same description for every page which isn't a good idea SEO wise.
AJS is right, put it in the index template only, and install Google SEO if you can (which will generate unique description tags for each thread or page).
OK I'll move it to index template, btw I already have google seo .
