Meta Title & Description Change

Support

AI 生成的摘要

The discussion revolves around changing the titles and descriptions of categories and subcategories in Discourse. tolkin wants to customize the meta titles and descriptions for better click-through rates and optimization. codinghorror initially suggests that the current title is correct, but later notes that a plugin would be needed to override it. However, neil provides a simpler solution: editing the translation for js.filters.with_category can accomplish this, and the description can be edited from the category’s description. This solution appears to meet tolkin’s requirements.

Hey there Discourse Team!

I would like to know if there is an option to change the Titles & Descriptions of categories and subcategories.
For example, if I go inside Bug section the title will be “Latest Bug Topics” and the same will happen in support etcetera.

I have read an older thread saying that this was not available but that was Oct 2015.

The value behind this is simple.

Meta Titles & Descriptions are not just valuable for rankings (description actually is not a ranking factor at all) but it gives you the chance of getting a better CTR by having something more optimized.

Regards!

Latest bug topics is the correct title. You are literally viewing the latest topics in the bug category. I am not following.

What if I want to change that to something like
“Discourse Bug Topics & Discussions” is there an option?

You would need to write a plugin to override it.

Seems like we were overthinking this one. Editing the translation for js.filters.with_category will accomplish this.

The description is taken from the category’s description, which can be edited as usual.

<head>
    <title>Discourse Ruby Topics &amp; Discussions - Site Name</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Discussion about the Ruby programming language.">
    ...

@tolkin See if this is enough for what you need.
