Hi Guys,

I am finding that, for my needs, the “statistics footer” at the bottom of each page takes up too much real estate and provides info that I do not want my user to see.

I believe that the display of this section is probably controlled by the file spFoot.php which is located at:

wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/default/templates

Since I don’t think it’s a good policy to edit or remove any “vendor files”, then, as per normal “good WP practice”, I am using a Child Theme to “modify” other vendors files when needed.

So ….. if I were to create a directory structure in my child theme to match:

wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/default/templates 

AND populate it with a new spFoot.php file, that being designed to override the existing spFoot.php file located at:

wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/default/templates), 

would that achieve my objective of removing the display of the statistics section without breaking other parts of your product?

 When I say an “empty spFoot.php file” I suspect that I would need to have only two function calls, namely:

sp_FooterBegin(); and sp_FooterEnd(); with the usual php opening and closing tags and this head:

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#

#          Simple:Press Template

#          Theme                        :           Default

#          Template        :           foot

#          Author                        :           My Name

#

#          The 'foot' template can be used for all forum content that is to be

#          displayed at the bottom of every forum view page
