Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Joshua Landry Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 I was doing some SEO stuff and went into the live meta tag editor to check on keywords and so forth. I realized that the meta descriptions automatically generated do not have anything to do with the topic, but only features a snippet from the latest response. Is this normal for it to generate a description from the latest response (may be irrelevant to page)? I think it makes much more sense to generate a description based off the original post since that's generally what the page will be about. And if this is how it generates the meta description, does that mean I have to go into every topic posted and self-correct?
Jim M Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 Only the first page of a topic should have a meta description and it will be the first post in the topic.

I've been doing some digging into this lately and it seems something is wrong with my site. Each topic posted in my community has the latest post for the description and "og:description". The first post is nowhere to be found in the meta information

Marc Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Sorry, for some reason I didnt see the image in the last item, and thought you were in the admin CP. Do you have the URL I can look at there?

Sorry about that Marc, it’s configured so admin accounts have to setup 2FA. I’ll see if I can figure out how to remove that for your account
