I am using WPForo as my WordPress forum plugin of choice, and I am pretty happy with it. 🙂
My question is: How can I change the SEO meta title to trim it to 65 characters? Perhaps a custom function in the child theme or modifying some code in a hook?
Thank you!

In your Child Theme - in the functions.php put this code (pls read the comments):
function max_title_length( $meta_title ) { $max = 65; // Convert array elements into a string, or cast input to string $title = is_array($meta_title) ? implode(' – ', array_filter($meta_title)) : (string) $meta_title; // Check and trim the title if it exceeds the max length if (strlen($title) > $max) { // Limit the length and find the last space within the allowed limit $title = substr($title, 0, $max); $last_space_position = strrpos($title, ' '); // Trim to the last full word if possible if ($last_space_position !== false) { $title = substr($title, 0, $last_space_position); } // Remove any trailing separator and add " …" $title = rtrim($title, ' –') . " …"; } // Return an array if the input was an array, otherwise return a string return is_array($meta_title) ? explode(' – ', $title) : $title; } add_filter('wpforo_seo_topic_title', 'max_title_length');
The function simplifies the trimming and separator handling to deliver clean results efficiently, while keeping the code easy to read and flexible.
