Waiting for someone to reply.

You can do it like this...


Find in FORUMHOME template:
Replace:
.

What you suggested DID NOT work. It changes the title of the forum page. But it does not change the title of the CMS page that I made homepage.

Goto your CMS page .. there will be a pencil icon near the page title .. you can edit it form there.
Title option is towards the bottom of right column.

The best option would have been to follow Lynne's article on creating your own custom page, then setting that to the homepage via Navigation Manager.

If you are using vbadvanced CMPS then you need to edit "adv_portal" template.

find and edit this line:

This worked.

One more question.

On the homepage, you can choose what modules you want to put there. One of the modules is "popular tags". I enabled it and it is displaying tags that it thinks are important maybe. Is there any way to edit and put tags there that I want?

I want to put my site's keywords there as my SEO agency suggests me that I should have my keywords on the home page.

You can add more tags going to adminCP > Tagging ... but they will have to be linked to threads in the forums .. meaning some of the threads must have these tags.

Hmm.. doesn't seem to work. The keywords I added in tags as you suggested are not showing up in the popular tags module. Before having this CMS homepage, my index page was the forum itself and I had added to keywords to forum name (in Site Name / URL / Contact Details) and they were showing up on the main index forum page as "Welcome to my forum - The best place for keyword 1, keyword 2, keyword 3" etc.

Do you recommend something how I can add keywords on the CMS homepage now so fulfil the on-page SEO requirement of having keywords on first page? Without making it look like I have forcefully put those keywords there.

If you want to add your own tags and make them 'stay' there, you would need to edit the template and add them manually.

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)
