Lets fix the seo for the forums?

First we will create 3 language key like this

forum_seo_title

Add you new forum title

forum_seo_description

add your own description, I have mine like

Join the ScriptsTribe community forums—a dedicated space for users of WoWonder and popular scripts. Get expert support, discover free tutorials and hacks, share tips, and connect with other developers and users. Perfect for anyone looking to enhance their skills, solve issues, and grow their knowledge in script customization and troubleshooting.

forum_seo_keywords

my keywords, WoWonder support community, WoWonder forums, script add-ons forum, PHP script customization help, free WoWonder tutorials, script hacks and tips, WoWonder troubleshooting, community for script developers, WoWonder help, popular scripts support

Now open sources/forum/forum.php

and replace all the code with

<?php

if ($wo['config']['forum_visibility'] == 1) {
if ($wo['loggedin'] == false) {
header("Location: " . Wo_SeoLink('index.php?link1=welcome'));
exit();
}
}
if ($wo['config']['forum'] == 0) {
header("Location: " . $wo['config']['site_url']);
exit();
}

$wo['description'] = $wo['lang']['forum_seo_description'];
$wo['keywords'] = $wo['lang']['forum_seo_keywords'];
$wo['page'] = 'forum';
$wo['active'] = 'forums';
$wo['sections'] = Wo_GetForumSec(array("forums" => true,"limit" => 300));
$wo['f-total'] = Wo_GetTotalForums();
$wo['title'] = $wo['lang']['forum_seo_title'] . ' | ' . $wo['config']['siteTitle'];
$wo['content'] = Wo_LoadPage('forum/forum');

Now lets add the title to the Threads

Open sources/forum/forum_showthread.php

and replace all the code with

<?php
if ($wo['config']['forum_visibility'] == 1) {
if ($wo['loggedin'] == false) {
header("Location: " . Wo_SeoLink('index.php?link1=welcome'));
exit();
}

}

if ($wo['config']['forum'] == 0) {
header("Location: " . $wo['config']['site_url']);
exit();

}

if (isset($_GET['tid']) && is_numeric($_GET['tid'])) {
$thread = Wo_GetForumThreads(array("id" => $_GET['tid'], "preview" => true));
if (count($thread) > 0) {
Wo_AddThreadView($_GET['tid']);
$wo['description'] = $wo['lang']['forum_seo_description'];
$wo['keywords'] = $wo['lang']['forum_seo_keywords'];
$wo['page'] = 'forum';
$wo['active'] = null;
$wo['thread'] = $thread[0];
$wo['forums'] = Wo_GetForums();
$wo['forumeditor'] = true;
$wo['title'] = $wo['thread']['headline'];
$wo['content'] = Wo_LoadPage('forum/showthread');
}

}

Now let add of:meta

Open themes/yourTheme/layout/container.phtml and look for

<?php if ($wo['page'] == 'forum') { ?>
<script src="<?php echo $wo['config']['theme_url'];?>/javascript/forum/script.master.js"></script>
<script src="<?php echo $wo['config']['theme_url'];?>/javascript/forum/forum.ajax.js"></script>

After that add

<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $wo['thread']['user_data']['avatar']?>" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo $wo['thread']['headline'];;?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content=" <?php echo ($wo['lang']['forum_seo_description'])?>" />

Clear you browser cache a few times, try posting on twitter or facebook to test.

The Threads will have the keywords and description of the form but the title is it's own so everytime you share a forum thread, lets say in facebook it will show te thread title
