I'm not sure if the title makes any sense, but here is what is happening: Whenever someone clicks a link in the forum that opens another window, it loads BEHIND the forum. For instance, if you try to make a poll, the poll window loads behind the forum content. See the picture:

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? I purchased the membership mainly for the poll plugin. If I can't use it, then my money was wasted!

Three initial questions. What version of Simple:Press is this? Wnich version of the SP theme (you can find that in the themes admin panel) and - is this a standard, supplied theme or have you made a custom theme and if the latter - when?

Simple:Press Version: 5.4.1 (according to the WP Plugins Menu)

Theme: Default 1.2.5

Everything is how it came out of the box. All I've done is create some forums, and install a few plugins.

Then it is likely that this is an artifact of your WordPress theme imposing a z-index on something that conflicts with the forum z-index on popups. And if it is an old theme that might explain it.

The easiest way to help is if I can have a link to your site on a page I can visit as a guest and one that has a popup on it that I can open. Then I can interrogate the styling and should be able to pinpoint the cause.

I have no idea what those words mean! :-)

I'm not sure there are any pages that have popups for guests. I can create an account for you, and PM the details.

The site is http://www.ccvapers.com

Yes - that works for me... Please PM credentials to both myself and to 'Mr Papa'. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you.

OK - there is a conflict - an odd one that should not be there but is, all the same. You need to either make a small edit to your SP theme CSS file - or - make an addition to your WP theme styles.css file. If the first option then find the entry for '.ui-dialog' where you will find a rukle for the 'z-index'. You need to set it at 1000 and add an important dorective. Like this:

z-index: 1000 !important;

Or - you could just add the following to your WordPress theme styles.css file:

.ui-dialog { z-index: 1000 !important; }

ad that will do the trick.
