Issues are not searchable

The W2Sharks forum is not searchable via Google and others and therefore is largely useless as a resource for troubleshooting. Is there any kind of justification for making the forum hidden? What secrets need to be kept from the world?

Hi Wordcrunch.

Oh, no secret at all. Actually I prefer to help in the forums so it’s available to others afterwards.

We’ve had two other forums before this one, and both were very searchable from Google. One still gets results from those when googling some s2Member thing.

I didn’t configure this one, though, and I wasn’t aware the Google couldn’t get to it. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll look into it.

In the meantime, you can search this forum with its search tool: https://forums.wpsharks.com/search

I reviewed this forum’s settings and verified that it does allow indexing.

And Google has it indexed: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforums.wpsharks.com
