Profile page, footer and avatar display too much information!

With simple:press 4.5.1 I had removed every information I didn't need to be displayed and my forum seemed minimal. Now I cannot find a way to remove them and it seems a bit bloated. And what I mean:

1) While in the settings I have set the newest members and top posters to zero, I can not find a way to remove the titles "Newest Members" & "Top Posters" from the footer. So they are displayed there and besides them the lines are blank.

2) Under the avatar are displayed: the membership level, forum posts and registration date. I don't need any of these, especially the memebership level, since every member in the forum has the same level.

3) I'd like to remove the print button from the posts plus the "view edit history", as well.

 

thanks in advance

everything is controlled by template functions, very much like a wp theme...  so in your sp theme, you can just remove what you dont want displayed...  typically, it wont be done via settings...

before editing your sp theme, as always, we strongly recommend making a child theme or a custom theme...

you just have to find the right template file to edit... generally, it will match the page view type (ie group, forum, topic, etc)... stuff on every page at the top, will be in the spHead...  stuff on every page at the bottom, will be in spFoot...

you can find #1 in the spFoot.php template file...

you can find #2 in the spTopicView.php template file...  same for #3...

feel free to holler if you have more questions after you start your customization journey...

Thank you Mr Papa! I edited them.

But since there is the option to enter blank values in newest members and top posters, shouldn't exist the option for the titles to not be displayed as well?
