Ah… sorry. I have led you astray!

I now understand you are using the default sub-forum icon for all sub-forums. I made the false assumption that you were using custom icons and the sizing will only apply to them. To change the size of the default icon you would need to replace it with a bigger one to the size you prefer. Sorry about that.

Simple:Press is resizing these Icons for me. I uploaded one version of the team logos and it is definitely larger than what the subforums are showing (actual size is 100×100 I believe).

Let me go back and double check to make sure I placed your suggested coding in the right place. I’m pretty sure I got it right but it never hurts to take a second look.

I’ll throw these 2 questions in while I am working on the subforum icons.

I noticed that when I login that I have to refresh the page to show that I am in fact, logged in. Is this something that can be corrected through a setting with Simple Press?

The other question would be about ‘New Posts’. Is there a way to have a link to a page that would show all of the new posts since the last time a member checked in? It is without a doubt the most commonly used link on my current forums as members will use it to see all of the most recent discussion from every forum at once. The popup window has the information but an actual page would work much better considering the amount of traffic that I have and the large number of posts that will accumulate in a short period of time.

No, you dont log into simple press… you log into wordpress…  we just put the wp form in the forum header… but logging in is all wp…

do you have any caching active?

you already have the unread posts lists for users… you can have it be a popup or a page… its the icon in the forum header below the quicklinks stuff (could vary by sp theme)…

see:  https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/api/template-functions-and-the-api/display-template-functions/common-view/sp_unreadpostsinfo/ for info on how to make popup vice page…

Papa,

No caching plugins but there could be something inherent in my theme. I’ll have to look into it farther as I am still experiencing issues with new users receiving a confirmation email that does not work (404 page).

I gotta tell ya, I’m feeling pretty good about spending the money for the support and the plugins. You guys are on top of things and are extremely helpful.

does the theme use the standard wp login? or does it try its own thing?

what kind of email is it?  registration from wp?  sp email?  what is the url?

The theme has its own registration page.

The email comes from wordpress@. Which URL are you looking for?

the url you said generates a 404…

I meant what was the purpose of the email…  if its from wordpress@yourdomain.com, then its likely a wp email and not from the forum…  did you customize forum – options – email settings at all?

Got it!

Had to do with the registration page within the theme. I took the redirect out of it so I am guessing it is going through the pathway it should now.
