How to NOT show 'unread posts' list for new visitors

I've combed through this page for clues, but still not understanding:

https://simple-press.com/docum.....tpostlist/

For a brand new visitor, ALL posts would be unread, and I don't want to show that view I'd rather show the normal group view of the forums list.

I'm using a Child theme based on the css-only theme, and understand that I need to modify the [Child Theme's] spGroupView.php file, but not sure what lines to modify or how.

Any help would be most appreciated - thanks!

Hey Patricia,

A nice and easy one, especially since you're already running a child theme!

So yes, you have the right template and you're looking at the right function, all you need to do is simply comment it out using a hash (#) before the function so it appears:

#sp_RecentPostList('show=10', __sp('Unread and recently updated topics'));

Commenting out is usually better than deleting as it's easier to put back in should you choose to later.

Hope that helps!
