Hi All,

Sorry if this has been resolved somewhere else, I’ve tried searching the forums and haven’t found anything.

My problem is that I’ve installed the bbPress plugin into a clean install of wordpress, and when testing it tried a simple JavaScript insert. Open script tag, alert “Oh Dear” and close the script tag.

When I posted this, it went through. The page alerted the text. Each time the page loads, it runs the JavaScript.

So, my question is: Is there a way of stopping this? I’m pretty new to WordPress and *very* new to bbPress, but have been loving what I’ve been seeing so far. I really don’t want to have to try something else when this solution seems to tick every box but this.

Check that you create a user at the subscriber level, and post a reply containing the script tag. It should not allow you to do this (or at least that is the case with me).

Within the administration screens, or at a different user level other then subscriber maybe a different story.

Thank you Steveorevo!

That was exactly the problem. When logged in as an administrator I can post Javascript, when logged in as a Forum Participent, it strips it out.

I *knew* there had to be something in there to stop that.

Again, thank you for the help, and thank you also for the quick reply.
