Bad Word Filter offers a simple way to make sure your website does not contain improper language. It is ideal for websites that offer user input, like articles, comments, forums or anything similar*. You may even use it to replace something commonly used in your website, with some custom HTML. There are no limits regarding how to use the extension. You may install it on unlimited domains, and use it completely for free.
*Note: Bad Word Filter only works inside items that trigger the content plugins.

No. Bad Word Filter is a Joomla! extension and can only be used within the Joomla! CMS.

Please refer to the Bad Word Filter download page, on the right.

Not exactly. Bad Word Filter replaces words inside the most common places they may appear. That is, in items that trigger the content plugins.

To install Bad Word Filter, you follow the usual steps, as with installing any other Joomla! extension.

Navigate to Extensions > Extension Manager, and under the tab "Upload Package File", you select the zip archive you downloaded from Mavrosxristoforos.com, and click "Upload & Install".

Wait until the package file gets installed and you should see a completion message. You are ready to go.

After installation, the first thing you should do, is enable the plugin. Of course, Bad Word Filter does not contain a full list of the words you may want to filter, so you would have to write the words to filter, and the HTML replacement you would like to show instead.

Sure. Just write {no_badwordfilter} in it.

Please make sure that the item you are trying to filter, does trigger the content plugins. Joomla! articles, as well as Custom HTML modules do trigger the content plugins, but if you are using another extension, you may want to ask the developer. Even if the extension you use, doesn't offer that, you can ask the developer about it, since it is just one line of code they would need to add.

Also, please make sure that the plugin is enabled.
