Hi, this is a problem by Yoast WordPress SEO plugin and other seo plugin wich don’t love bbpress…
You must to go in yoast settings to find any setting to configure it.. if is possible.. I have same problems with All in One SEO plugin.. And i writing to author plugin to resolve this issue…
Before to use a custom function to replace it, go in plugin settings and found one solution..
Hi Connie/freewpress, which particular settings did you change in the SEO plug-in? I am also using that plug-in or did you completely disable it?
Try to use All in one seo plugin…
I’m using Yoast. They have a setting for page titles for replies and topics but not for user profiles. No answer from their forum on what to do. Do you think All in one seo is better?
Not for this version.. for future version mybe.. I have made a function to rewrite title.. bbpress is not seo friendly for users… it generate duplicate pages!!
Hi guys,
I was battling with this issue too. I didn’t want to abandon the Yoast SEO plugin so this is the function I added to functions.php in my WordPress theme to fix the issue:
// fix yoast seo plugin issue with user title
function fix_not_found_title($title){
if (is_bbpress()){
if ($title == ‘Page Not Found – SiteNameHere’){
return ‘Forum User: ‘.bbp_get_displayed_user_field( ‘display_name’ );
} else {
return $title;
}
} else {
return $title;
}
}
add_action( ‘wpseo_title’, ‘fix_not_found_title’ );
It’s a bit of a hack but it works for now. I hope that helps!
Cheers,
Sebastian
