I replied to your other post about removing it from your system. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/uninstall-forum#post-15448 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 23:30:49 +0000 chrishajer 15448@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I think it is. The only issue is if you had an integrated install, then you would have bbPress users in your wp_users and wp_usermeta table. You would probably have to manually remove those entries from those tables. Don't drop the wp_ tables, just the bb_tables.</p> <p>I think that's about it. Once the code is gone from the filesystem, the database doesn't matter much except for keeping things tidy. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/uninstall-forum#post-15445 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:22:14 +0000 raygene 15445@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I wish to uninstall bbPress from my WP 2.5 installation and was wondering if it were as simple as:</p> <p>- Deleting the forum sub-folder from my /blog/forum folder<br /> - Dropping the bb tables from the shared database</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Gene </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-permanently-delete-a-post#post-15444 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:09:41 +0000 raygene 15444@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>"Why does it matter?

Just open it and comment out the contents from top to bottom. It's the login form shown on the front page. This way when you are logged in, you will still see the your name and the admin link and logout option. This is working for me anyway. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-permanently-delete-a-post#post-15383 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 04:07:45 +0000 chrishajer 15383@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Why does it matter?

I would imagine that a plugin could be written to do this for you, but in terms of space, I don't think that a post takes up very much space in the database, but your point is taken with great attention! I would love a simple plugin to do this as well to clean up posts and topics and there are many great code writers that use this forum and I wouldn't be suprised if one comes up to do just this!</p> <p>Nice point!</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-permanently-delete-a-post#post-4780 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 03:04:09 +0000 acefinale5 4780@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi, this is a newbie to bbPress. Thanks for the great work.</p> <p>Just want to ask before deploying the code into a semi-production environment.<br /> It's great to hear that deleted posts can be undeleted.<br /> But, how am I going to clean up posts that I'm sure I no longer need anymore?<br /> I pay for web hosting and don't have a very large database.<br /> Thanks a lot.
