Hi Robin,

I got your point, thank you for your reply: no hard feelings.

Problem is: I still have so many unuseful pages indexed by Mr Google and I don’t seem to find a way to let Google know how that content is actually organized.

Simply adding “rel next and prev” would be the easiest solution, but I have to give up since I am not a coder.

Bye

Hi Robin, I don’t agree:

1 – paginated content is a very common feature, Google requires it and it should be native in a Forum, where it is obvious you will need it.

2 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-but-problems-4/ at each time people give bbpress a bad review, the advice is to use the support forum. Just as I did.

Bye.

[@process_of_illumination Participant 5 years, 6 months ago]

1 year and 4 months without any answer, I am sorry maybe the question was too difficoult for the support forum. If that’s the case please just let me know and I will remove it.

[@process_of_illumination Participant 6 years ago]

Wow ten months without an answer.

[@process_of_illumination Participant 6 years, 5 months ago]

I’ll try with an “UP” for the last time.

[@process_of_illumination Participant 6 years, 6 months ago]

I found this code for WordPress but it doesnt seem to work:

function cor_rel_next_prev_pagination() {
global $paged;
if ( get_previous_posts_link() ) { ?>
<link rel="prev" href="<?php echo get_pagenum_link( $paged - 1 ); ?>">
<?php
}
if ( get_next_posts_link() ) { ?>
<link rel="next" href="<?php echo get_pagenum_link( $paged + 1 ); ?>">
<?php
}
}
remove_action('wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head');
add_action('wp_head', 'cor_rel_next_prev_pagination');

Is there a way to make it work?

Thank you.

Hi and thanks Pascal!

I can’t find out how to add Date Archives, do you have an advice please?

the Process

[@process_of_illumination Participant 6 years, 11 months ago]

Hi,

I think I understood a little how it works and came out with this:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa5_add_noindex' );
function casiepa5_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_favorites() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}
 
add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa4_add_noindex' );
function casiepa4_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa3_add_noindex' );
function casiepa3_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa2_add_noindex' );
function casiepa2_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_topic_tag() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

I tested it and it seems ok.

Do you think it is the correct procedure?

Thanks,

the Process

PS: could you please remove the picture with the link to my test site? Thanks 🙂

Unfortunately I found this problem with the code:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

It does not add the noindex to profile sub pages:

Correctly in no NOINDEX:

/forumgm/profile/jacobus-johannes

still in INDEX:

/forumgm/profile/jacobus-johannes/topics
/forumgm/profile/jacobus-johannes/replies
/forumgm/profile/jacobus-johannes/favorites

And that is bad for Mr G indexing too many unuseful pages 🙁

the Process

[@process_of_illumination Participant 6 years, 11 months ago]

Thank you very much Pascal,

your code works smoothly!

Could you tell me, please, how to change this:

bbp_is_single_user_profile

to prevent indexing /topic-tag/? I am not a developer and tried some “variations on the theme” like:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_single_topic_tag() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

with the scarce results I am used to.

Thanks,

the Process

[@process_of_illumination Participant 6 years, 11 months ago]

Any ideas?

[@process_of_illumination Participant 6 years, 11 months ago]

Sure! And thanks!

I need to noindex especially urls like:

/forumgm/profile/luki

and

/forumgm/topic-tag/delega

Thank you,

the Process

[@process_of_illumination Participant 6 years, 11 months ago]

Hi and thank you very much,

we are close but not there yet: this last code works, but writes the meta-tag on <b>each page of the forum</b>, not only the archives.

How is it possible to make it work only for archives pages?

Thank you,

the Process

[@process_of_illumination Participant 6 years, 11 months ago]

Hi,

I don’t think this is a general question since bbpress states to be compatible with Yoast and Tsf when it is not (at least when it comes to noindex pages) so, imho, it is a BBpress problem.

https://github.com/sybrew/the-seo-framework/issues/243

I asked the same question on wp support anyway and still didnt get any answers (it took almost one week to have one here so I guess I’ll be waiting for some days there as well – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/noidex-metatag-to-groups-of-pages/)

I added your code (thank you for writing it down) but I only see a white page afterwards.

I added it to functions.php in wpcontent/themes/forum/ is it correct?

Thank you,

@Robkk

thank you for your answer.

I already installed bbpress v2 wordpress plugin on my wordpress blog, I only need to find out how to keep the same url for my forum when I import it.

my blog:
http://www.site.ext/blog/

my forum:
http://www.site.ext/forum/

How do I instruct wordpress, when I use the import tool, to keep the old url for the forum (www.site.ext/forum/ instead of http://www.site.ext/blog/forum/)?

Thank you.

[@process_of_illumination Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

up, thanks.

[@process_of_illumination Participant 9 years, 8 months ago]

Hi Robin,

“having it exist as /mysite.com/forum”

would be the perfect solution for me, since my standalone bbpress is already at /mysite.com/forum/, and my wordpress blog is at /mysite.com/blog/ (they are both in production).

Would your solution work in my case?

Where exactly should I add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]?

Thank you very much!

[@process_of_illumination Participant 10 years, 1 month ago]

Thank you very much for your answer Sam Rohn.

They seem to have found a solution here:

I need serious help with bbpress integration

but the solution isn’t public, they didn’t share it unfortunately.

I’ll be forced to work on the .htaccess file, I guess.

I’ll try to type “up” for this question without any hope, though, since my last 4 questions remained all unanswered.

I am having the same issue, has anybody found a solution?
