Thanks a lot, I fixed the code with chatgpt, but it didn’t work well with yoast…

How can I add a title and meta description to the forum index page?
Since it’s not a real page, I can’t set them using Yoast SEO.

Are these two spam posts? Why are both URLs in https and not http?

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

Even though you have some influence over what they decide to do, this update is very simple and the right thing to do.
Browsers flag all http sites as unsafe, so I believe 21% of http sites are essentially abandoned.
Since 79% of sites are http, it’s logical that if a site doesn’t specify https, it’s a given that https will be prefixed instead of http.
Or, they could just as easily leave the www without the http(s) in front.

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

Okay, thanks, I’ll do that, but I think this issue needs to be fixed in future updates. HTTP hasn’t been used in years.

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

99% of sites are in https and not http, so if you can, it would be a good idea to point this out to whoever handles bbpress updates.
People who type in a domain start with www and never type https, so it’s really annoying to see URLs in http.

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

But seriously, are you telling me that it is normal that if a user writes www.google.com on bbpress it becomes http://www.google.com and not https:?

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

I couldn’t explain…
If I type www.google.com when I post the topic, it becomes http://www.google.com instead of https://www.google.com

Try writing a URL with only www and submitting the topic.

Yoast told me…
sorry, but Google Translate forgot a part 😅

PS
Did you get my email with the site?

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 month, 2 weeks ago]

you replied that the forum should already do this.

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 month, 3 weeks ago]

Liking posts is very engaging for users, especially if there’s a page that shows the users who have received the most likes. It’s true, but it’s a shame it doesn’t exist by default on BBpress.

[@ricsca2 Participant 2 months, 1 week ago]

Perfect, thanks, you’re always so kind…
I wanted to send you a private message to show you the incredible results I achieved by migrating a custom forum to wp + bb + bbp, but there’s no way to contact you.
I also tried contacting you on your website, but my antivirus is blocking it.

[@ricsca2 Participant 2 months, 1 week ago]

Is it because of this option I set by chance?

Before a comment appears: Comment authors must have a previously approved comment.

I also set “Keep a comment in queue if it contains 2 or more links (a common characteristic of comment spam is a large number of links).”

and the post had 4 images loaded via code and HTML links.

Are forum topics and comments treated as if they were WP comments?

Thanks

[@ricsca2 Participant 2 months, 2 weeks ago]

Ok 👍

[@ricsca2 Participant 2 months, 3 weeks ago]

What does this change do? Has it been fixed after five months?

[@ricsca2 Participant 2 months, 3 weeks ago]

I found this one which is built for buddypress but the forum section is great even if you don’t use buddypress.

But here we are not talking about adding new functions to bbpress …. simply that bbpress inherits the style of the theme used as all other plugins do. Now I do not know how to program but I do not think it is a complicated modification / update to do. How is it possible that a component that has more than 100,000 active installations and that is the component used to support bbpress.org which has millions of threads and posts, in 2024 is considered a plugin of little value and with hundreds of wordpress employees does not do this small update.

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 year, 1 month ago]

bbpress is the official wordpress plugin and is the one used on bbpress.org as well as being used by thousands of sites.
I’m talking about inheriting at least the font size of the theme in which it is used, nothing exceptional…

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 year, 1 month ago]

According to this reasoning wordpress should not exist then.
Here I am not asking for customizations to bbpress. simply that bbpress inherits the theme style, that is, inherits the font size. Buddypress does this so it is absurd that bbpress does not do it.

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 year, 1 month ago]

Thanks

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 year, 7 months ago]

It seems quite complicated to me…

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 year, 9 months ago]

I tried it and it works but then I don’t know how to move the various fields and another important thing I’m wondering is where this extra data is saved.

[@ricsca2 Participant 1 year, 9 months ago]

I mean custom fields
