Set a custom title for the home page instead of boardTitle.

Because the boardTitle is set as a suffix on all page title tags, you ideally want to keep it short.

However, you also might want the home page for your forum to be more descriptive so that it shows something more meaningful in Google searches.

Example usage :

We use the "Somersoft" brand as the boardTitle so that the suffix is short.





However, we want the main Google search results for the site to reflect something more meaningful and descriptive :



To achieve this, we have a simple addon which replaces the boardTitle on the forum home page with some text we configure.



So our home page now shows :



An additional option allows us to select whether to also change the og:title and twitter:title metadata tags for the home page as well :

Version 2.0.3 (2026-09-28)​

• only use the home page title for the page <title>; and og:title when the forum list or new posts really is the home page — with the Index page route set elsewhere, such as What's new, the forum list at forums/ was given the home page title
• upgrading from the XenForo 1 version of this add-on now carries the home page title across from its homepageTitle option
• refer to "the board title" rather than boardTitle in the add-on description and option text, and fix a typo in the option group description

Version 2.0.4 (2026-10-12)​

• answer the hampel_admin_api_redaction code event to declare that neither option is a secret, so an add-on that reports a forum's configuration with secrets removed can show the home page title — this adds no dependency, and does nothing on a forum where no add-on defines that event
