Hi, doing quite a bit of testing, for some reason – using firefox on android doesnt open the login box. If i hold and open a new page it does on the new page. However this will cause a problem. registering is fine as this launches the WP register page.

It works fine for me here and on couple test sites…  have you tried here?

do you have a link to site so we can look for any obvious conflicts?

thanks, this forum opens the login box

mysite

Also, how do i remove/hide the administrator names/userid’s in the stats bar at the bottom of the forum 🙂

So likely some sort of jQuery conflict.  Looked quickly and only thing jumping out is that your wp theme loads a touch-punch library and we load the jQuery touch punch library that comes with wp… They may be conflicting… No sure why your wp theme wants to loads its own library… 

As to removing some or all stats, please see this faq:  https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/faq/how-to/faq-how-to-remove-forum-statistics/

thanks for the reply, using oshine theme. ill post a question to them. How do i debug?

re the admin stats. Could you not introduce an option on the plugin? Im not a web guru, just a normal guy 🙂

Please note, I did not say the theme was the problem… only that the touch punch it was loading may conflict…  purely hypothetical – I have no data to back that up…

A possible way to see if the theme is involved would be to do a temp switch to the default wp theme and see if the mobile issue continues…

No chance of that becoming an option… If we converted all the capabilities yielded by theme template functions, we would have to literally add thousands of pages of options in the admin…

Its pretty simple to adjust the theme…  of course, we strongly recommend a child theme or custom theme to keep from losing changes on updates…

so for example, if you created a barebones child theme, you would copy over the spFootDesktop.php template file and edit it…  look for this line:

sp_AdminsList('tagClass=spCenter spAdministrators&postCount=0&stack=1', __sp('Administrators: ')); sp_AdminsList('tagClass=spCenter spAdministrators&postCount=0&stack=1', __sp('Administrators: '));

and just remove it to get rid of the admins list…  you would probably want to do same for the spFootMobile.php template file…  that line will exist in any of our themes, so should get you there…

thanks, going one step further, how do i remove the foot stats footer all together? Its a bit old school and serve no real purpose, for me anyway 🙂

That Faq link I gave you has the details. Basically remove the entire section of template tags related to stats… It’s commented.

Remember to do the child theme.

Before answering that, do you realise that the only people who can see the email address are the user in question and the forum admin(s)?

see Andy’s comment about the email addresses…

as to the child theme, you will have to tell us which simple press theme you are  using… you can download any matching empty child theme (waiting for your changes) in our store for free…
