Description

Currently bbpress adds rel=nofollow to links in topics and replies. Following recent changes referenced at ​https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2019/09/evolving-nofollow-new-ways-to-identify.html and the precedent by WordPress Core at ​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/48022 we should add to the rel attribute the additional ugc value to indicate User-Generated Content. Attached is a patch to do just this based in part on WordPress Core's implementation.

  • Cc SirLouen added
  • Component changed from General to API - Formatting
  • Keywords dev-feedback added
  • Milestone Awaiting Review deleted
  • Priority changed from normal to high
  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Severity changed from normal to major
  • Status changed from new to closed

@johnjamesjacoby note that @diddledan already provided a possible patch there which is fine.

The only problem is that this patch doesnt follow the new core guidelines based on wp_rel_callback which is a little bit more generic and permits adding other rel elements like UGC in this case with wp_rel_ugc which is way more simpler.
