On my new forum http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress/ I noticed that as I added more stuff to it with tags, I could see tags on the top in the topic itself but not in the “Heat Map” or the box where the tags are displayed. Is there a limit on how many tags can be shown in this box and if so how can I change the number to whatever I want it to?

Also are tags in bbPress similar to meta tag keywords in WP? I did not see them in the page source under keywords. Does bbPress have a plugin that inserts keywords like in WP?

Thank you.

There is a limit to the number of tags being displayed. Here’s some info about the parameters for the tag heat map: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hot-tags-not-updating#post-23324

That’s a few months old, so things may have changed a bit.

For bbPress SEO there are a couple plugins:

There was another one too, I thought, but I can’t locate it right now.

Do the search engines pick up on tags as keywords? Is the SEO plugin necessary. Also when I edit <?php bb_tag_heat_map( 9, 38, ‘pt’, 80 ); ?> I only see 40 tags in there, unless I am missing something else to change it in too.

Thanks.

How many tags do you actually have in use on your forum?

[chrishajerParticipant @chrishajer 3 years, 8 months ago]

I think search engines will use tags like they use any other content on the page. As for adding tags as meta keywords in the header, this was published a couple days ago:

Thanks. I have more than 40 tags so far on the forums. I only see 40 even though it is set as ( 9, 38, ‘pt’, 80) in the file. Am I supposed to change it somewhere else too?
