it seems a bit odd to have the form submit buttons above elements of the form itself…  seems like a confusing UIX… does the stuff below the buttons go with the buttons? (rhetorical question of course)…

you are going to have to create some custom filters to do that…  most of the sections of the submit form have filters on them… you will need to remove the buttons from the location you do not want and then copy the code from our form to your custom function in order to add them back in…

actually quickly looking at the submit section, its not that easy – doesnt look like its uniquely filterable…

so you would need to filter on ‘sph_post_editor_controls’ and replace the current spEditorSubmitButton div section with an empty string…

then you could filter on ‘sph_post_editor_footer_top’ and add the code you removed back in…  it would actually be duplicating it since the latter actually occurs first…

so definitely possible and doable, but a bit of a mess if you are not familiar with hooks and filters…  we might need to look into filtering each of the sections separately so they could be removed or added to much easier…

I see that Steve (Mr Papa) has opened a ticket on this – which makes sense – and that means we will get some extra filtering in place to help make what you want to do a simpler task. We will aim to get that into 5.1.2 so I would advise waiting for that if you can. Wont be long in coming.

I can definitely wait. Thanks for the effort and the update. In the meantime, I would like to remove the button “View Existing Media Uploads” and just have the 3 buttons that you guys have here (“Upload Attachments”, “View Existing Image Uploads” and “View Existing File Uploads”). How do I make that button disappear? I disabled media uploads in the settings, but that did not remove the button. Thanks…

working the code changes tonight… will need testing but looks good for 5.1.2…

the view existing media uploads button will disappear if you dont have permission to do so…  BUT keep in mind, as admin, you have permission to do everything… so was this viewed as admin? or regular user where you still see the button?

Great point…I was viewing as admin. So I logged in as a user and this is what it looks like. Why are the buttons stacking? Do they do that by default? Is there a way to make them uniform and next to each other, like on the forum here? Thanks…

Most commonly if they are stacked like that it is an artifact – or leakage – from your Wp theme CSS. if you know how to use a tool like Firebug you can inspect the CSS on the page to see what might be the cause… We can do it but we would need a user account so we could actually see the buttons…

That looks like the issue on ticket #3124 in the Simple:Press development and bug tracker.

It should be fixed in the next update.

Awesome. Looking forward to the update. Thanks!!

all well, should be in next week or two…
