New Plugin For Topic Redirect
Topic Redirect Recently, we were asked if we had a way to create a topic that wasn’t really a thread of posts but a link. In other words, click on the topic title and the action is not to show posts but to redirect to something else. Like a download perhaps. Or a special page. […]
At last – Simple:Press Version 5.5.1
At long last – with the release of WordPress version 4.0 – we are able to release our own version 5.5.1. This has been one of the longest and fullest releases for quite some time and we are pleased that we can at last make it available to all of our users. Please do note […]
Coming Soon: Topic Redirect Plugin
We used to say of London’s buses – and perhaps it is also the case around the world – that you would wait an age for a bus and then three would turn up together. I don’t recall being asked until recently if we had a way to create a topic that wasn’t really a […]
Simple:Press Version 5.5.1 – Right-to-Left Language Support
One of the long overdue developments we are currently working on, with an eye to getting it into version 5.5.1 – is proper support for right to left languages.

This also caused some issues for us. Since we use the Wishlist Member plugin for managing our memberships, it required us […]
Coming Soon: Search Plugin
Coming soon will be a brand new plugin for Simple:Press. This plugin takes a fresh look at searching and how it gathers results and displays them to the person performing the search. Currently, our core search function searches in posts and titles (various combinations) for the search terms and criteria (any, word, phrase, etc) and […]
Simple:Press Version 5.5.1 – Installing Translations
One of the recurring questions we get asked is how to install language translation files (‘mo’ gettext files for the technically minded) into Simple:Press. And of course, because we only get asked this question by users whose English is their second language – if they can speak it at all – then sometimes the discussion […]
Simple:Press Version 5.5.1 – Attachments Management
Users of Simple:Press have long been able to upload images, media and other files into a post using our File Uploader plugin. However, it hasn’t always been easy or accessible to remove those attachments once uploaded. Admins could manage the attachments via the forum tools menu, but regular users could only remove the attachments if […]
