    Exclamation META KEYWORDS bug?

    Hi:

    I just realize that this function is not working on my forum. I have this function enable which what happen is when I visit a specific thread/topic, the meta keywords which shows are a combination of words from the thread titles + all the keywords related to the forum.

    I don't want to include all the meta keywords related to the forum in every thread, how can I fix this? So let say the meta keywords related to forum are : Anime, Manga

    These two meta keywords will appear in every threads, so it clutter all the threads with repeated same keywords, which I don't want but I don't know how to disable that.

    Replace the 'META KEYWORDS' Content? set to YES
    Replaces the 'META KEYWORDS' dynamically with content relevant to the page being displayed. Affects forums, threads, posts & member profiles.

    This is how it works... It takes the keywords from the thread and places them first, and then puts the rest of the string of keywords from the vboptions setting to fill in the rest.

    Hi Brian, ya this part "then puts the rest of the string of keywords from the vboptions setting to fill in the rest." I don't want to include this part for every thread. How can I get rid of it?

    This would require a code change within php files. I will flag for a developer to look at but a solution may not be readily available.

    Hi Brian: Do you think it is good if I remove all my meta keywords from vbulletin option?

    Doing this, you'll have no meta keywords on forumhome.

    Ya I know, is it bad? Wouldn't this only effect one page, forum index?

    Yes and Yes. I would suggest leaving it as is. Too many is better than none.

    Hello,

    if you want to have meta keywords *replaced* on instead of appending them, you can modify functions_vbseo.php file for that:
    find:
    Code:
    $newtext = preg_replace('#(<meta name="keywords".*?content=)"#is', '$1"'.str_replace('$','\$',$kw_content).',', $newtext);
    replace with:
    Code:
    $newtext = preg_replace('#(<meta name="keywords".*?content=)"#is', '"'.str_replace('$','\$',$kw_content).',', $newtext);
