how to remove View Topic in Title from phpBB2
June 18th, 2011
If you have used PHPBB2 forum you may have noticed that all the titles of the posts are have View Topic in the beginning of them. This reduces the strength of the page from SEO perspective.
Open the page viewtopic.php
Find the line that says
$page_title = $lang['View_topic'] .’ – ‘ . $topic_title;
Replace it with
$page_title = $topic_title;
It may be a better idea to leave the original line in comment and do as follows ( just in case)
// $page_title = $lang['View_topic'] .’ – ‘ . $topic_title;
$page_title = $topic_title;
