I’ve had the same problem for any logged in user. If my memory serves me, I solved this quite a while back by altering the css as described here: https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/installation/changes/theme-and-templates-5-3-0/ in the section on popup dialogues.

Since I upgraded SP, the problem has returned, see http://screencast.com/t/Mq5xjRyEaEG. I cannot find the same css coding referenced in the help article any more e.g. .ui-dialog .ui-dialog-titlebar-close and much of the rest.

Is there another option open to me solving this?

Thanks

EDIT: looking in the wrong place – I don’t do this often enough!! Anyway it looks like the latest version of the default theme has these changes already made. So I’m even more stuck for a solution I guess.

sorry, not sure I understand your issue based on the screenshot and the details of this topic…  can you provide more details and perhaps link to example?

and also are you saying that the images display properly for guests?  just different/wrong for logged in users?

Sorry, the logged in user issue is a bit of a red herring. Forum permissions don’t allow non members to view links and therefore images, so they wouldn’t see the issue.

I’ve changed permissions temporarily so you don’t need to bother with registering. Please view this page…

…then click on the first image you see so it pops up, then scroll back up to the top of the page. You’ll see that the image slides behind the navigation bar and blue header.

Thanks

p.s. I’m away from my computer for most of today, so apologies if I don’t respond quickly to any other questions you might have, cheers

It’s your Wp theme header being a little greedy and ,making sure it sits over the top of everything else.
You will need to change the z-index on the .ui-dialog class in your Simple:Press theme styling file.
Seems to me that the z-index – which is currently set at 10 – needs to be 9999 to work.

As always we recommend the use of a child theme to ensure changes are not lost when upgrading. There are now Child Theme Frameworks available to download for all of our themes to make this simple and full and extensive details can be found on our Codex – Creating a Child Theme page: https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-child-theme/
