Please tell me how to add a meta description for the main page of the forums?!

I use Yoast SEO to add meta descriptions to other pages. It’s easy to add a description for individual forums by editing the page. But I don’t understand how can I open edit the main page of all forums (for example, https://example-site.com/forums – I need to add a meta description for this page).

I am new to website building and am learning everything. I will be glad to any advice. Thank you.

BBP Improvements for yoast

[@mrskt00 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

One possible solution is to use a plugin called BBP Improvements for Yoast which is a helpful tool to make Yoast wordpress seo support bbpress better. You can install and activate this plugin from your WordPress dashboard and see if that helps.

Another possible solution is to use the excerpt variable in the Admin > SEO > Search Appearance > Content Types (tab) section. There you will have a ‘Topics (topic)’ section where you can add a default meta description using the excerpt variable. This will automatically output the first part of every topic as the meta description.

What are you talking about “Admin > SEO > Search Appearance > Content Types (tab) section” – are you talking about Yoast (I find nothing like that) or bbpress (I find nothing like that)..

/Thanks.

Has anyone solved this? BBP Improvements for Yoast didn’t work for me. Surely it should be possible to edit the meta tags on the forum home page (e.g. https://example-site.com/forums)?
