@phenomlab i have seen nothing.community using flarum i pity on them, atleast 1 discussion is not ranking top in the Google. Instead of discussions all the profile pages are been ranked. They could have chosen NodeBB or discourse

I could have sponsored a advanced SEO extension but it is a rabbit hole, “if it’s not worth you can not make it worth” no matter how many revisions they do it to the core or release extensions to fix … it is really hard to efford, maintain and lead a happy life with flarum. Most importantly devlopment cost is high, flarum is nothing less than having a gold digger girl friend. I have learnt a very costly lesson.

@Hari I hear you. One of the key reasons as to why I exited their ecosystem.

hello everyone, i want to update you about the progress of migrating from flarum to Wordpress. All of the data is successfully migrated and we are working on a new theme which is really good, we took the skeleton of SiForum and simply changed the header and footer … for our new theme we inspired the look from gatsbyjs / docs page.

SiForum home page example: https://www.atarikafa.com/topluluk/

and we are using wpdicuzz and not doing any customization to it except defining the colors in the settings area, everything is fully lightweight and easily upgradable to new versions of Wordpress or wpdiscuzz, it is working super fast without CF APO… if we enable APO that would really boost everything…

we are using YARPP and CPTR plugins to generate related posts and built a custom-related categories plugin for single.php which will create good link juice between pages (we know too many links in a page is bad SEO so we have limited related links to 5)

using CPTR if we add 2posts as related posts it will render 3 other posts from YARPP plugin in total the page will have 5links

https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-types-relationships-cptr/

life is really good with Wordpress and wpdiscuzz … i wish wpdiscuzz supports SVG for their icons and has more support to build custom styles… it;s hard to find good devs who can write good CSS styles for wpdicuzz and my Wordpress theme … due to this we are sticking everything to basic.

flarum has great developers who can build anything if we have money, Wordpress has good devs but it is hard to find people who are ready to work with us.

@Hari Glad to see this went so well, and that you’ve finally departed the Flarum ecosystem
