FAQ removal

I noticed it is suggested to remove the FAQ and calendar from the navbar to improve SEO.

1) Why is this?

2) How do I do this in vB 4. I found the script for older vB versions but despite the search button I still can't find this.

Thanks in advance,

D

Basically you would remove those as they do not have any real significance. I will take a look into vb4 for an if condition for you shortly.

Hello,

You can wrap those links in:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
Code
</vb:if>

This will make them only visible to members.

Thanks, Mike!

Not a problem!

What templates would I do this in? Where would I put this code after and before?

in the nav bar template, wrap it around the elemnt you don't want to show.

Thank you Brian, that helped me out a lot! I will see what else I can learn SEO wise before I get my forum critiqued.

Hello liveferrari.com,

This is a bit off topic, but have you done any modification to the the layout of the category's display and last post display on your link directory home page?

I had a hard time getting this to work for the FAQS, it still shows up for the guests in VB4. Here is what I have done found this on VB's web site, it removes the FAQS from the Nav bar, but leaves the code intact. Use "<vb:comment>......</vb:comment>

I hope this helps.

<vb:comment>
<li><a rel="help" href="faq.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="5">{vb:rawphrase faq}</a></li>
</vb:comment>

Thank you very much, this worked like a charm, and now the FAQ's does not display for guests and does for members. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
