Brand new customer here, and apologies if the answer is in the forum or docs, but I couldn't find it.

I want to hide the two quick links dropdowns for topics and posts at the top right of the forum.

I also want to hide the statistics box at the bottom.

I can't find any options that control this. Do I need to hide them with CSS?

The test site I'm working with is here: http://dev.galleryserverpro.com/forum/

Thanks,
Roger

Hey Roger,

It's pretty straight forward to hide these sections, but before getting stuck in, it's advisable to create a child theme of 'default' theme which you appear to be using. This should only take a few minutes, and it will ensure that when SP updates your changes aren't lost / overwritten.

Firstly the stats section, once you have your child theme in place, you will want to open spFoot.php located in:

sp-resources > forum-themes > yourthemename > templates > spFoot.php

On line 27 you have a section start which is where the stats section begins, and on line 65 you have the section end. You can just comment the entire section out with /* before the section start, and */ after the section end.

You can do exactly the same for the quicklinks menu's. The template will be found in the same folder, and in this case you want to open spHead.php.

Find again, on line 113 you have a section start for the quicklinks, and on line 117 you have a section end. Just comment these out the same as explained for the stats section.

Just in case you are not familiar with php, commenting is far better than deleting, as it will enable you to quickly delete the comments and add the code back in should you want to do so in the future.

Hope this helps!
