WARNING:

DO NOT INSTALL THEMES FROM BBPRESSTHEMES.NET

THEY ARE ALL INFECTED WITH SPAM LINKS (in header.php)

http://www.google.com/search?q=bbpress+kamagraoraljelly

This is very bad because so many people have already installed themes from there. I have contacted the Google Safe Browsing group but that doesn’t solve the original problem.

I have cleaned up all the code from those theme files and will be hosting them shortly.

And I can’t express how happy I am to see you back

I can confirm that themes from bbpressthemes are trying to sell Cialis.

here’s a question for the bbpress owners- do you not own the name bbpress?

or at least the logo? BBPRESSTHEMES.NET has robbed the bbpress logo.

I recall some issues with the WordPress brand in the past. Protecting bbpress may also be an issue to deal with.

aside: ashfame, great contribution, if you can get the themes posted

Doesn’t bbpress check evrything else before they release the themes?

that site is not part of this one, therefore there is no control over it. hence the warnings.

You could go through the theme code manually and attempt to find where the spam links or are located, or you could grab the clean code from the link that Ashfame provided.

Here is the location of the spam links: header.php
