Today I've been investigating why the visits to my website has been dropped and discovered that I have the meta robots set to "noindex,follow" in the home page. Joomla global configuration is set to use "index,follow", the menu item (featured articles) is set to use global configuration, even if I set the menu item to use other configuration, or if I set other global configuration, I always have meta robots set to "noindex,follow" in home page. The only way I have to don't have this proble is deactivating kunenalatest module (also if I deactivate kunena system plugin but in this case the module doesn't work, having kunena system plugin enabled and kunenalatest module disabled solves the problem so I think is a bug in kunenalatest module and not in the plugin).

I have the same problem. noindex on root / index.php only.
All visitors gone. :( :(

I disabled and removed the latest module from root and activate index and follow in menu item.
Hope google will index the page real soon. And hopefully, the page will be on nr 1 position where it was before this disaster. This cost me about 90% of my daily visitors.

Still kunena rocks.

I have resubmitted the sitemap, put some indexing service on root domain so I know for sure, it will be back soon.
Also, Once I discovered the noindex on root domain, I activate the index and follow option in joomla menu. After activating this, the latest forum post module gives an error on the page. So I deleted the module. Now the problem is solved.
Still not back in Google index but this will come.
Hopefully they will fix this bug real soon.

After 1 day without kunanalatest module my home page is again in Google in the same position and my visitors are coming back!!!! Great!!!

has some one from kunena team read this topic? Why has it been moved to Add-ons category? I think Add-ons category is not the right category because I think the bug is not in the module itself, I think the problem is in kunena API. Anyway, whatever the right category is, I would like to see some comments about this topic.

After upgrading Kunena to 2.0.1 and module Forum Latest 2.0.1, I saw my site fall from #2 in Google page rank to oblivion.
I found the page source displayed <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow" /> despite all the Joomla Global Config settings being set to "index,follow"
I found after elimination that unpublishing the module Kunena Forum Latest,that the page source was returned to the proper setting of "index,follow". Re publishing the module causes the page source to revert to "noindex,follow"

Do we have a bug or am I just unlucky?

I've been trying to fix the problem myself with no success. I'm getting a little desperate. No one else has this issue?

Finally I've found a temporal solution. In my case I use the module with latest topics output. For other module's configuration this solution may don't work.

Open: joomla_site/components/com_kunena/views/topics/view.html.php
Change line 315 from:
Code:
$this->document->setMetadata ( 'robots', 'noindex, follow' );
To
Code:
//check if we are in kunena latest topics page if(JRequest::getCmd('option','') == 'com_kunena' && JRequest::getCmd('view','') == 'topics'){ $this->document->setMetadata ( 'robots', 'noindex, follow' ); }
