Re: THEME UPLOADER?

I don’t think there’s a theme editor built into bbpress… but I would highly recommend against it.

There’s been a recent WordPress virus which has hit thousands of of sites, and used the theme-editor as an attack vector:

My WordPress install was hit, and I was able to confirm from my access logs that the attacker attempted to use theme-editor as an attack vector. I’m actually deleting the theme editor from my WordPress install, even though I haven’t enabled write permissions on the theme folders… just because the whole experience was so traumatic.
