Support Forum
First of, I want to say you guys have done an amazing work! Keep at it! Now, onto the questions.
- How do i limit the 'Unread and recently updated topics' to 5 on the homepage?
- What SEO practice do you recommend? Before, I got this membership I read an article stating to change the wp title to a custom made one so that google could crawl my forum. I know there is a Google Sitemap plugin but how does it exactly work compared to the steps i'm already using.
- How can I change the Social Site Identity Url? I want users to input their whole url and not just the name for facebook etc. Sole reason is because wordpress does it differently so it conflicts between the two.
- How can i let users post their youtube videos? I'm using the tiny wsiwyg editor and it says that the iframe has been blocked. how do i resolve this?
- How do i remove the math question that displays on the new topic/reply on the forum. I already took it off of the login/registration.
- How can I get the topic/group rss to work? When I click on it it just shows me the source code?
- The recommended bytes to let users upload their stuff and the recommended size proportions. FYI: I'm using shared hosting with CDN at the moment.
I believe this may be all the questions I have but I will update if i have anymore. Thanks!
If you want to recommend me certain plugins or tips and tricks I should use for my forum tell me please.

Thank you. i can answer most of these. For any I miss then hopefully Mr Papa will step in. We have different areas of knowledge.
How do i limit the 'Unread and recently updated topics' to 5 on the homepage?
This requires a small edit to a template - in this case the spGroupView.php template (in the /templates folder of the SP theme you are using). Near the bottom you will find a call to the template display function - sp_RecentPostList(). You will see that there is an argument being passed named 'show' set to 10. Simply change the default 10 to 5.
As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)

One for my colleague. But, of course we do not know the 'steps you're currently using'.
How can I change the Social Site Identity Url? I want users to input their whole url and not just the name for facebook etc. Sole reason is because wordpress does it differently so it conflicts between the two.
I am not sure you can but again I will pass that over to Mr Papa to answer.

We don't allow iframes in posts because they are such an easy to exploit security hole. When it comes to YouTube videos, SP uses the WP oEmbed protocols. Simply paste in the YouTube URLs
How do i remove the math question that displays on the new topic/reply on the forum. I already took it off of the login/registration.
It is a permission so turn on the option to bypass the math question on the permissions sets you wish the condition to apply to.
How can I get the topic/group rss to work? When I click on it it just shows me the source code?
That's a new one on me. Source code of what exactly?
The recommended bytes to let users upload their stuff and the recommended size proportions. FYI: I'm using shared hosting with CDN at the moment.
Well I suppose the simple answer to that is the default values inserted when the plugins are installed. But every site is different and wants and needs to support different things so it is not really possible to make any standard recommendations.

Ahh, okay thank you so much and yeah you could forget about the rss source thingy I don't know what I was thinking hah.
For the Google Sitemap question. I just took out the original title and replaced it with a custom title like this
<title><?php if(get_the_id() == 6992) { echo the_title(); } else { wp_title(); } ?></title>
