Thanks for the quick feedback!

I've tested a number of things and not been able to resolve the issue; here's a few quick details:

- It is not confined to multiple image posts; some single image posts exhibit the problem

- I have changed my theme to twenty-sixteen, and deactivated all plugins except SP - the problem still exists

- I have no caching plugin or host-level caching

- I've tried switching to the barebones SP theme and it has no effect

- Several older images work fine, that is, when you click on  them to expand, there is an X on each image that lets you close it.

- It seems like large images that might natively be larger than the display area of the screen trigger the problem.  I'm not sure of this, but it seems it may correlate.

I'm going to try to figure out an JS conflicts but with no other plugins, barebones SP theme, and twenty-sixteen theme I'm not sure if there could be much of a JS conflict that wouldn't affect a large number of SP users.

Thanks,

Kelly

Ok, let me summarize the problem, updating it with new analysis:

Any image in a forum post, if large enough, will become unclosable once zoomed to a larger size.  It doesn't matter whether there is one or multiple images in the post. The problem is that the X in the upper right corner can't be accessed.

When the problem occurs, if you scroll your entire screen back up to the top, you'll see that the image interacts strangely with the WP menus.

The problem occurs even if I switch to the SP barebones theme, and I can deactivate ALL other WP plugins, and switch to the twenty-sixteen theme and the problem still occurs.

I've got a separate test site running all of the exact plugins, code etc - I can duplicate the problem on the test site.

I am sending you login credentials and a link to a forum test post where I have uploaded dummy images of varying sizes.  Click on the smaller images, and there is no problem. Click on the larber images (1024w and larger) and the problem is obvious.

Thanks for your help on this!

It's possible it's not new, and we have not uploaded larger images that revealed the issue; I'm just not sure.

I'm not sure I understand how it could be a JS conflict if I am using twenty-sixteen, and disable all plugins except Simplepress.  So with no 3rd party theme in use, no plugins other than SP, and even trying the SP Barebones theme instead of Reboot, the problem still occurs,

Incidentally, I started with the setting to make uploaded images thumbnails.  After user feedback I've decided I don't want thumbnails; instead I want images to fill the width of the forum posting, or if smaller than the width that would be in the size uploaded.  I'm going to play with the image settings in SP to see if I can get it to do that; it might happen to be a bit of a workaround since users won't need to click on images if they are initially displayed larger.

Thanks for all your help with this!

Yes - I sent a PM with credentials and a link to a specific post where I uploaded dummy images of various sizes.

I will test with a variety of other simple themes, trying to ensure a wide enough page for the forum. Do you have any suggested or "reference" themes that you know play nice with SP and have no known issues with SP or JS?  It might be helpful if I test with them. Also I can buy any premium theme if necessary that you think would help in the testing process.

Thanks,

Kelly
