Hey SooLi,

You can remove the SP Link through the template. Using default theme as an example, go to forum-themes > default > templates > spFoot.php. The section you want to look at is the ‘about’ section at the very bottom. You can remove or add any element there you wish..

As for the members button, you can remove this through permissions. See ‘Viewing’, then ‘Can View the Members Lists’..

Hope this is useful!

So that I understand correctly, I am supposed to go to:  Simple:Press Admin by clicking Forum – then click Themes – then click Theme Editor – then in the SP Theme Editor – Edit Simple:Press Themes I am supposed to go to the sidebar Template Files and click spFoot.php, is that all correct?   Then in spFoot.php I am supposed to scroll down to “about” and do what exactly?  Below is what I see in the about section.  Also, if I update the Simple:Press plugin will I have to update spFoot.php again?

 if (function_exists(‘sp_UserSelectOptions’)) sp_UserSelectOptions(‘tagClass=spCenter spLabelSmall’, __sp(‘Theme:’), __sp(‘Language:’));

    sp_InsertBreak();

    # Start the ‘about’ section
    # ———————————————————————-
    sp_SectionStart(‘tagClass=spPlainSection spCenter’, ‘about’);
        if (function_exists(‘sp_PolicyDocPolicyLink’)) sp_PolicyDocPolicyLink(”, __sp(‘Usage Policy’), __sp(‘View site usage policy’));
        sp_Acknowledgements(”, ”, __sp(‘About Simple:Press’), __sp(‘Visit Simple:Press’));
        if (function_exists(‘sp_PolicyDocPrivacyLink’)) sp_PolicyDocPrivacyLink(”, __sp(‘Privacy Policy’), __sp(‘View site privacy policy’));
    sp_SectionEnd(”, ‘about’);

    # Mandatory call to sp_FooterEnd() – available to custom code
    # ———————————————————————-
    sp_FooterEnd();
?>

if you edit our theme, yes, you will have to change on updates…  Which is why we repeatedly and strongly urge users to make a child theme or their own them (copy ours) before making any changes…

you would either comment out or delete this line to remove the acknowledgements…

        sp_Acknowledgements(”, ”, __sp(‘About Simple:Press’), __sp(‘Visit Simple:Press’));
