My issue is, I can not figure out how to make the latest post show up for 1 of my Groups in my forums: Madden 25.

On the rest of the Forum Groups, the latest post shows on the right side on main forums. Example: Xbox One (Other), when a post is made in one of the sub forums, it also displays "Last Post S S0DEN 
Test 

14 hours ago" on the right, but when a post is made in the Forum Group Madden 25, no Last post is created, am I missing a setting here?

I seem to recall one instance we had, quite a while back, where the 'last post' stats area to the right would not get filled until there was an actual topic in the main, parent forum. And by the looks of things all the forums that are missing this data ONLY have topics in their sub-forums. Is that correct?

I also seem to remember that we were unable to replicate this but if you are able to confrm if this is the case then we can take another look at it...

You are 100% correct, I just tested that. Once I created a topic in the main forums, it then displayed to the right.

we couldn't replicate or find a cause for this last time we looked but I will open a ticket now and investigate. Might be able to look into this today actually as it is quiet at the moment.

OK - this is embarrassing! It is a one line code change to one file. If you want it I can give it to you to try but it will be in the next update...

Sure thing, I would not be embarrassed at all - this is a great product. I have used Vbulletin for years, and yet I enjoy this Simple-Press more.

That's most kind. OK - if you want to fix it then the file to change is:
/simple-press/forum/content/sp-group-view-functions.php.

The function to edit is about two thirds of the way down the file and is:
sp_ForumIndexLastPost()

Right at the top of this function is the lione of code:

if ($spThisForum->post_count == 0) return;

and all you need to do is remove it...!

Instead of opening a new thread in your support forum, is ther documentation on how to use the SP Importer to import Vbulletin posts to Simple Press?

the documentation exists inside the that wp plugin itself...  but you will need a clean forum to import into...
