Support Forum

Hi Yellow Swordfish, thanks for the very quick reply!

It may have been going on for a while, I don't typically go to my forum when not logged in, but was making some minor CSS tweaks and just wanted to ensure it looked right across several browsers.

SO in my folders, I just have /forum-avatars, and in that folder are three default images (I don't know if at one time there were four, but there are only three now) they are admindefault.png, guestdefault.png, and userdefault.png.  I also found an /forum-avatars-old folder, but it has the same three images.

It sounds like I need to create a sub-folder called /defaults and move the images to there?

OK so definitely some progress......

I now have a folder named /sp-resources/forum-avatars/defaults and moved the three images to there.

Now in Profiles>Avatar Options>Available Default Avatars I see those three images (yay!) so I know they are in the right place.  And the image for guest avatar *does* have "guest" checked.

However, when viewing the forum while not logged in, the upper left Avatar (which should be 'guest') still does not show, it's just the image placeholder with the question mark.....so possibly a problem with the Theme template?

I use a Child Theme of the css-only Theme, but have not modified the template files, just the CSS (with the exception of the spGroupView.php to comment out the unread posts list at the bottom).

Is there something I need to change in the Theme?

FYI, I do recall using the built-in WP update function when I updated to my current version of SP, but I don't recall if I skipped over a version in the process (?) it's been a while, but maybe that's why the folders didn't get reorganized as expected.

OK, cleared cache and tried again, still no image.

Here's a link, I'd be very interested in what you see...

You may remove the link or this post afterward if you like, the site is not yet ready for prime-time. 🙂

Yep, most odd.

When I created the Child Theme, I just copied all of the templates to the new theme folder, and only modified the CSS (following the proper procedure to create a child theme, all else seems fine).

So I do have a file named spHead.php, and on line 80 of that file it does have this:

        sp_UserAvatar('tagClass=spImg spLeft');

But your last comments got me thinking about how this is setup - I first began working on this site over a year ago (it was put on hold for a while, then the project was greenlighted again) so I honestly can't recall why I set things up as I did (I'm pretty sure I would have just followed along with some instructions), but I setup a Page in WP (named "community") and in my SP settings I have that page ID and the template file specified under "Integration".

My page uses a template file called 'forum.php' which is basically a copy of my (WP theme's) page.php, in that it uses the content call get_template_part( 'content', 'forum' ).

In content-forum.php, it's just a standard template that calls the content - here is what is in that file:

`<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
    <div class="entry-content">
        <?php the_content(); ?>
        <?php wp_link_pages( array(
            'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . esc_html__( 'Pages:', 'quark' ),
            'after' => '</div>',
            'link_before' => '<span class="page-numbers">',
            'link_after' => '</span>'
        ) ); ?>
    </div><!-- /.entry-content -->
</article>`

Nothing out of the ordinary.  Every part of the forum works great - all seems as it should be, just this one odd bug with the default image not showing at the top.  On post topics and replies, they show as expected.

I did try regenerating the permalinks, both in WP and in SP, but it didn't make a difference.  I can't find any HTML or code that actually calls that image aside from the one line in spHead.php.
