Markdown for WordPress and bbPress (Markdown-WPBB) is based on the famed PHP Markdown Extra by [Michel Fortin](http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/), in turn based on the original Perl version by [John Gruber](http://www.daringfireball.net/). All I did was make the same package work with bbPress too. ^^ ## Installation #### WordPress PHP Markdown works with WordPress, version 1.2 or later. PHP Markdown is already bundled with WordPress. Still, you can find here the latest version that may be newer than the latest WordPress version. 1. To use Markdown-WPBB with WordPress, place the markdown.php” file in the plugins” folder. This folder is located inside wp-content” at the root of your site: 2. ``` (site home)/wp-content/plugins/ ``` 3. Activate the plugin with the administrative interface of WordPress. In the Plugins” section you will now find Markdown for WordPress and bbPress.” To activate the plugin, click on the Activate” button on the same line as Markdown. Your entries will now be formatted with Markdown. 4. To post Markdown content, you’ll first have to disable the visual” editor in the User section of WordPress. You can configure Markdown-WPBB to not apply to the comments on your WordPress weblog. See the FAQ” section below. #### bbPress 1. To use Markdown-WPBB with bbPress, place the markdown.php” file in the plugins” folder. This folder is located inside wp-content” at the root of your site: 2. ``` (site home)/my-plugins/ ``` 3.
