  • @Sala said in Flarum - WordPress Journey:

    Bdw when I use security headers, I noticed the bbcodes icons in editor for answering questions disappear

    Can you elaborate a bit on this? Not sure what you mean.

    @phenomlab same here 30tb I also thought I had lapses in technology, maybe new things came without my notice 😂

    The bbcodes icons

    So they show when creating a new topic, but not showing on answering on already created topic.

    It doesn’t hurt but it’s caused by adding that security headers module. Anyway to rectify the cause?

    @Sala Can you show me the output from the console when responding to a message? My personal thoughts are that this could be CORS related, but I need to verify that first.

    @Sala It the BBCodes show on a new topic as below

    On response to a question, the same DIV is there but not populated

    This is almost certainly a CORS issue, but I’ll need to see the headers you’ve applied to comment further, or make suggestions.

    @Sala not sure what you mean? I need the headers you specified in your .htaccess file (I’m assuming Apache here).

    @Sala thanks. I’ve checked the headers and again and I can’t see anything in the specific code I provided that would cause the bbcode to not display.

    Does it work if you remove all the headers? If this is the case, my recommendation would be to enable them one by one and find out which one actually causes the issue. Once we know which one it is, we can then modify it to allow the display of bbcode.

    It just seems odd to me that everything works fine on a new post, but not on reply. This would tell me they it’s not the headers, but I could be wrong. You may want to try disabling wp-rocket to see if that resolves the issue rather than removing the headers.

    @phenomlab yesterday I fix 2 bugs on just at the time you needed an answer for the headers, I immediately knew this one needed a test of one by one bcoz it could be the Defer for Js .

    @Sala yes, deferring JS can have a negative effect on functionality. For speed reasons, you typically place JS in the footer rather than the header, but this then means it’s not executed in time and in the DOM when needed.

    Another potentially damaging feature is minifying JS to reduce it’s size. Whilst wp-rocket offers several mechanisms to make the site load faster, you’d need to test each one of these settings to ensure it doesn’t negatively impact the site.

    @phenomlab Hurray!
    We have found the line that blocked the icons, it was this one:-

    Header set Permissions-Policy "geolocation=(),midi=(),sync-xhr=(),microphone=(),camera=(),magnetometer=(),gyroscope=(),fullscreen=(self),payment=()" 
    

    Now it’s your part to come up with another config line 🙏

    It’s solved
    Demoted the above line and re- modified the

    Header set Feature-Policy "geolocation 'self' https://sopriza.com/" 
    

    To

    Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(self "https://sopriza.com")

    @Sala yes, that will resolve the status rating, but that header doesn’t have any impact against JS loading.

    Very odd.

    @phenomlab I’ll be happy if you can help me with the Js link which was causing that, i will be able to exclude it and stop any future problems

    @Sala Sorry - which JS link ?

    @phenomlab the one which enables the bbcode icons to populate

    @Sala I will likely need admin access to your site for this.

    Yes, I am aware that if users are given the option to enter alt text, some may do so in an abusive manner. For the time being, we’ve adjusted the php script to generate the alt automatically, thus there are no longer any SEO problem with alt images.

    @phenomlab said in Hardening WordPress - Reducing the attack vector: @jac Microsoft’s and Google’s Authenticator both support TOTP - essentially, a time based system that changes every 30 seconds. The main principle here is that the device itself carrying the One Time Passcode only needs to be in sync with the source server in terms of time, and can be completely offline with no internet access. Provided the time matches on both devices, the One Time Passcode will be accepted. Applications such as Microsoft Authenticator and Authy also support push notification meaning you just choose either yes or no on your device when prompted, and then that response is sent back to the origin which then determines if access is granted or not. One of the best looking password less authentication models was CLEF - sadly, this product died out due to a lack of funding (if I recall correctly) although some open source implementations of this have appeared quite recently. Essentially, both products will achieve the same goal. TOTP is an industry standard, and widely accepted across the board. Not all services offer push confirmation. Many thanks for the detailed reply mate. There’s some great advice in there that will help me secure my accounts.

    @jac said in Flarum: @phenomlab said in Flarum: @jac yes, but they are lacking severely in the sense that they still do not have a functional GDPR extension. In addition, Flarum uses PHP as it’s backend infrastructure meaning it’s going to be so much slower than NodeBB will ever be. Absolutely, I hope Node up their game . Certainly plugin wise anyway

    @jac That won’t matter. You just redirect at nginx or apache level and it’ll work. The generally accepted standard though is to use a subdomain.
