Hello,
First of all, thank you very much for the forum!
Secondly, I am really tight on space thanks to the theme that I’m using. Before I added any posts, everything was looking good. When I added posts the ‘New/Recently Added’ dropdown menu appeared in the the forum. This has ended up on a second line because of the width I have available. To be honest, I don’t really need it anyway. Can someone please tell me how to remove it/comment it out?
Thanks in advance.
its in your sp theme… the spHead.php template tags outputs the quicklinks… just remove it if you dont want it…
as always, we strongly recommend you create your own theme and not edit ours: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/
If you insist on doing this go to
WP >> Dashboard >> Forums >> Themes >> Theme Editor >> spHead.php
Then find
sp_SectionStart(‘tagClass=spPlainSection’, ‘search’);
sp_QuickLinksForum(‘tagClass=spControl spSelect spRight’, __sp(‘Select Forum’));
sp_QuickLinksTopic(‘tagClass=spControl spSelect spRight’, __sp(‘New/Recently Updated Topics’));
sp_SearchForm($searchForm);
sp_SectionEnd(”, ‘search’);
Near the bottom.
To remove mine I just added # in front of each line. I didn’t notice any negative effects doing it this way but I decided I wanted those features kept. So I increased the width of my board.
thats how… careful as the search form is there too…
also, be sure you are editing your own theme and not one we provide or you will lose your changes on an update… http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/
I thought about editing my post to say that, too. Before I edited my theme’s width I decided to just remove all 3.. but darn they sure are nice to have on the board 🙂
And for the record, assuming he comes back and reads this… I followed the link you gave for creating your own theme and it worked with no issues (of course). It’s a lot easier than I thought it would be and now I won’t lose any of the work I’ve done. Great stuff!
