Bad Words Filter Demo

Bad Words Filter

The plugin provides a Bad Words Filter, which allows you to define which words/phrases are forbidden for posting on your forum.

Below you can find a question form, where you can try to post a question using some curse words.
You will see a message that the content cannot be posted because it contains bad words.

Here are some words that we added to our filter, which you can test:

heck | darn | fudge | crud | son of a gun

*please, keep polite while testing it, as it's just a demo page 🙂

How To Configure The Bad Words Filter?

To configure it, you just need to enable the corresponding option in plugin settings and add the list of forbidden words/phrases - one item per line.

You can either just put an exact word to limit it or you can use regular expressions (compatible with preg_match() in PHP) by wrapping the expression by slashes, for example: /(bad)?words?/

In case of using regular expressions, the plugin may block some similar words may differ by last letters, for example, or if its a part of some bigger word.
