I just read in another thread that there are only two SP themes which are responsive - Unified and Reboot. I checked my forum and realized that I am using the default theme. I guess this means that my forum is not responsive, correct? (I do have a responsive WP theme)
If I install one of these two responsive themes, is this an easy matter of just uploading it, or do I have to reconfigure all the settings and plugins of my present default theme again? Or do all the settings and plugins carry over?
Which theme are you using for the SP forum?

Hey Shama,
Correct, only those two SP themes are responsive, Default not being one of them means when viewing it from a mobile you will still see the desktop version.
If you want to use one of them it's just a case of uploading it, you won't need to reconfigure any plugins or settings as they all take place within the forum itself not the theme. Think of it like activating a WordPress theme - Your site stays the same plugin and setting wise, but the visuals change.
We are currently using Reboot here.
The only thing to be wary of is if you are running a custom theme or child theme changing to Unified or Reboot would mean you will loose any changes you've made to your themes templates or stylesheet. If this is the case or you want to keep using Default on desktop, you can enable 'Mobile Theme Support' in Forum > Themes > Mobile Phone Theme. Once enabled and updated you can then pick Unified or Reboot to be your dedicated mobile theme meaning your desktop could stay as Default.

Assuming you have not customised your Default theme then no - it should just plugin and work without change. All options and settings are the same.
We use the Reboot theme currently on this site.
Of course, your WP theme itself also needs to be 'responsive'...

also, please note, if you want, you can have a different sp theme in use for phones and/or tablets from desktop... so you could keep your current desktop sp theme and then have one of the mobile responsive sp themes kick in for phones or tablets if you like the current sp theme for desktops...

I purchased and installed the Reboot theme, however it is causing havoc with the forum. When I activated it, it showed up without any formatting. Then I tried to switch back to the previous default theme, and that was now doing the same thing. After going back and forth a few times between the two themes, I got the default one to work again, but as soon as I switch the overlay, the formatting disappears again. What could cause this problem?
And, by the way, my default theme had not been customized in any way.

The answer might be one of these - https://simple-press.com/docum.....an-update/
Try that first. If still a problem then come back and we can re-think...

Thanks, that fixed the issue. It was the combining and caching of forum CSS files. After I got it to work by unchecking this option, I tried re-enabling it again, but that made the formatting disappear again. So I guess I will have to leave this option unchecked permanently. I wonder why it worked fine for years with this option checked when I used the default theme?
Here is another thing: My side bar shows Member, and then Members. How do I get rid of this?

You found the Orange overlay 🙂
I can see no reason why you should not be able to use the CSS caching. Turn it on and then try the reset in the forum toolbox... Lets make sure what was there before is definitely expunged.
I am going to ask Ike to come back to you on the 'members' display a little later on if that is OK.

It would be my guess that 'member' is coming from sp_PostIndexUserRank and 'members' is coming from sp_PostIndexUserMemberships.
You can remove which ever one you like, but you will need to make a child theme so these changes are not lost next time Reboot theme updates. Start off by downloading the free Reboot Child Theme Framework from the store and installing it following the instructions on the Creating a Child Theme page - Scroll down and see the section 'Child Theme Frameworks'.
You will then need to copy in the template spTopicViewDesktop.php from:
sp-resources > forum-themes > reboot > templates > desktop > spTopicViewDesktop.php
to your child themes templates folder i.e:
sp-resources > forum-themes > yourchildtheme > templates > desktop > spTopicViewDesktop.php
Then if you open up the template in an editor and locate sp_PostIndexUserRank on line 137 and sp_PostIndexUserMemberships on line 139 you can simply comment out the one you don't want to show using the hash method.
