you have complete control in your sp theme over what shows… if you dont want an element or want to move it, you can… to remove anything, just remove the display template function call… this works just like wp themes…
in the case of the stats, you will see them displayed in the spFoot.php template file of your sp theme…
as always, we recommend having your own sp theme to edit rather than core ones so you dont lose changes on updates… see: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/
how long ago?? keep in mind the stats stuff is cached – by default for 1 hour…
Caching, got it. Moderator now shows – all I had to do was wait an hour. Thanks.
that time is changeable in the options… but does take time to generate when needed, so every page load is extra burden on the server for very little benefit…
thanks for the update…
