In reply to: GDPR EU legislation
ok, so we need to look at exactly what this law does.
The law is here :http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679
and from my reading you can pretty much forget the scare stuff in google !
Ignore the recitals (they are not part of the law) and skip to the actual articles
So first scope :
Article 3 says :This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system.
So what is processing?
Article 4 (2) saysprocessing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;
and what is personal data ?
This is defined by article 4(1) which states‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’);
And goes on to define what identifiable means (as opposed to say anonymised data)
an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;
So personal data is information relating to a ‘data subject’ and is processed. So NOT comment written by that data subject, or other people’s views on either the data subject himself or other people’s views on the data subject’s views. If it is wrong, defaming or libellous then this is already covered by existing law.
There is no requirement to delete topics or replies as far as I can see.
A good analogy would be if I had a newspaper subscription. If I cancel the subscription to their on-line service, then I would expect them to delete my name, address, bank account details or anything else they hold in connection with that subscription. The legislation as far as I can see does not require them to delete their on-line coverage of my wedding, nor the comment I put in the comment box under that news story about Madonna adopting another child. Neither of those is personal data. Nor is someone else’s @mentions of my name. Otherwise we could all just write to every paper, and no-one could publish anything about us ever again !!!
If this law really gave you the right to have posts removed, then this would be huge and making headlines. For instance the newspapers would be all over the fact that after April Facebook, Instagram twitter etc. would have to delete all posts made by me, or about me or where I could be identified. This would be a MEGA story – and we would all know about it by now.
It IS appropriate for website owners to consider – as if asked to delate a user, you would need to totally remove their existence not just from the current wordpress database (which deleting a user does) but also from any membership plugins, woocommerce plugins etc, etc.
But I see no way that bbpress needs to worry about this law.
But I’m not a lawyer.
In reply to: Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000I haven’t read this thread in detail, so am not endorsing the suggested change, but the file is in
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/convertor.php
In reply to: How to add BBSpoiler button to TinyMCE?sorry, but we can’t open every plugin to see why it doesn’t work with bbpress 🙁
In reply to: How to add BBSpoiler button to TinyMCE?suggest that is one for that plugins support forum
In reply to: Membership and forum accessin no particular order
If you’re not using buddypress, then better to deactivate.
in terms of having users with different access, then my private groups plugin will let you do that
There are several plugins that have new user approval such as
In reply to: bbp topic count dont workwhat have you got set in
dashboard>settings>bbp topic count>settings
In reply to: Messages to users from forum contain codecan you say what this email was for? is it a new topic which the user is subscribed to, or what caused it to be sent?
In reply to: bbp topic count dont workwhich plugin did you install?
In reply to: How do I change font color in closed forum topicsok, not sure if I can help further, something funny with your site.
The final thing I’d suggest is that you change to a default theme
If a public forum, with a default theme and just bbpress running doesn’t show topics, then there is something wrong with your site or database.
In reply to: TinyMCE Editor doesn’t workso just this page or do all new topics/new replies not show this ?
In reply to: Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress questionhave you also posted this in the buddypress support forum – looks like a question for them
In reply to: Notifications for multiple forumsRight now everyone that has a user account on the website is getting email notifications from all forum posts
bbpress does not notify unless users have subscribed to forums
what other plugins do you have that might be doing that ?
In reply to: Users can’t reply to forumgreat – thanks for the update
In reply to: How to hide from publicBut i have a question it is correct solution? No performace issue ?
yes it has a performance issue, every line of code has a performance issue.
No idea by what you mean ‘is it the correct solution’ This is a help service for bbpress not a free bespoke website service. I have already gone beyond the usual to help you.
It is up to you to decide the balance of SEO against performance, not me.
In reply to: How to hide from publicthis does that
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'rew_remove_code_tags', 10, 2 ); function rew_remove_code_tags ($content, $reply_id) { if (!is_user_logged_in()) { $content = preg_replace('~<code(.*?)</code>~Usi', "", $content); } return apply_filters( 'rew_remove_code_tags', $content, $reply_id ); }In reply to: Private vs PublicPublic – forum AND topics are visible to public
Private – Forum AND topics are visible to logged in users only
If you want more granularity than that use
which would let you have the forum visible but not the topics
In reply to: Users can’t reply to forumso does the topic get saved, and this is just a redirect issue, or is it not saving ?
In reply to: Can’t see BBPress in my WordPress MenuIt could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
In reply to: Two Instances of BBPress?no, not as you state, but if you can say what security features you want, then it may well be possible with one instance.
In reply to: Can’t see profil’s usershttp://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-error-too-many-redirects-issue-in-wordpress/
and contact your host provider
In reply to: How do I change font color in closed forum topicsno, what other plugins are you running?

In reply to: How to Sort Ascending in 1 Forum Onlyno problem – glad you’re fixed !
This did not translate well – sorry I do not understand
In reply to: Visual pbs ?lots of questions !
1. ◾Each time i push a picture, this code appears : “[Caption id=”xxxx” align=”aligncenter” width=”468″> xxxxxxxxxx (…) [/caption]“, but if i keep this, this will be printed online. I need to delete this caption insert for better visuals. Is it normal ?
I don’t know what you are doing to create the picture – please describe your steps
2. ◾The user avatar in forum list (for example) is smaller than it will be. Normal ?
yes that is normal. To amend it you would need to amedn a template. If you confirm that you have and know how to use FTP, I will give you some instructions
3. ◾Each post modification is notified under the post… But if i edit 15 times a post, it will be 15 rows about this modifications ?
if you install my style pack plugin
then once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp Style Pack>topic/reply styling item 12 you can limit the number shown and if you go to
dashboard>settings>bbp Style Pack>topic/topic/reply form items 7 & 8 let you switch off this feature4. ◾In responsive mode (mobile), the post height is mid-screen only… It’s difficult to read… any idea ?
I tried it – it seemed easy to read to me – please explain exactly what you want
