Bulk Save Keywords

The Bulk Save tab is at WB Plugins > BuddyPress Profanity > Bulk Save.

The Bulk Save tab provides a large textarea for managing the blocked keyword list. It is the same list that appears in the small text field on the General Settings tab — just with more room to work.

Paste or type comma-separated keywords into the textarea, then click Save Changes. This replaces the entire keyword list with whatever is in the textarea. All other settings (filter scope, rendering mode, privacy masking, etc.) are left unchanged.

Keywords must be separated by commas. Spaces around commas are trimmed automatically. Example:

word1, word2, word3, word4

or without spaces:

word1,word2,word3,word4

Multi-word phrases work too — the plugin treats the entire comma-delimited token as one keyword:

offensive phrase, another phrase, singleword
  • Keywords shorter than three characters are ignored at filter time (they are saved but skipped during matching).
  • There is no enforced maximum number of keywords. Very large lists may have a minor performance impact on pages with many activity items.

The General Settings tab has a single-line text field for the same keyword list. Both fields read from and write to the same wbbprof_settings[keywords] option. Saving on either tab updates the same stored value.

Use the Bulk Save tab when you have a long list to paste in. Use the General Settings tab for quick individual additions or removals.

If you want to start over with the plugin’s built-in default keyword list, use the Reset to Default button on the General Settings tab instead of editing here. That button replaces the list immediately via an AJAX request, without requiring a full form save.
