Howdy all going well but two issues that I've spotted so far - the first is that the Really Simple Share plugin sees the forum posts as WP posts and tries to create buttons for each post. This isn't too bad as I'd like people to be able to share individual posts. However, it messes up the design if they're loaded at the top and makes them overrun the text (see any post in Staggered forum (e.g. http://www.iamstaggered.com/fo.....ompetition)
This page http://www.whiletrue.it/en/pro.....press.html suggests it's possible to disable RSShare by adding a disable=yes comment to the posts but I don't know how that would work.
The other issue is that I can't work out how to remove/problem-with-post-edit-buttonide/suppress the Register button. I think on the old options it was possible to remove this, any idea?

I found the Jetpack plugin was doing the same with the sharing icons. The only way round it that I could find was to disable sharing from the forum page in WP (edit any forum page and choose the option to turn it off). I haven't used Really Simple Share so don't know if it offers the same option.
It's a bit of a nuisance that it adds the buttons on each post - hopefully it'll be fixed in a future SP release.

...plus I think it would need taking up with the authors of the plugins in question. If they offer an api that allows a user to place them where they want them - and how etc., then it would be an easy matter to control them. Not that I see them by the way.
V5 is now controlled by themes and templates - just like WP. You will need to remove the register button by removing it from the template., It is in the spHead.php template and you can edit it using the theme editor admin panel. You should be able to spot it easily enough.
As always - making you own, safe theme is recommneded: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/

Ahhh super - in which case then I think it's just an issue of putting the shortcode to stop the plugin showing in the theme's post php file - where would I find that then?!
Really enjoying the added flexibility of v5 so far, think the plugins/themes/etc will really add to the benefits.
BTW I'm not sure subscribe is working. I'm subscribed and watching this thread and don't get any notifications. Maybe because I came in via a Twitter login?

With a normal, standard theme, SP will use the page.php WP theme template. Or - whatever template is used to display pages (as opposed to posts). If you edit the forum page from the WP pages listing then it should inform you what template is being used.
You will not get any subscription emails because you have not given us an email address to use in your forum profile! Twitter does not send an email address to use.

It's easy to style SP elements with CSS.
To suppress showing the registration button just use this code:
display:none !important;
}
A really nice plugin for doing making quick changes and playing around with CSS is "My Custom CSS" - I use it all the time. You can find it in the WordPress Plugin Repository.

dont you want folks to register? turn off the wp option if not...
otherwise just remove the template tag from your sp theme that displays it...
you can of course do as Waynem shows, but why execute the code to display it if you dont want...

On my site I've hidden the registration button so that I can have a menu link that directs my visitors to a page with specific information to read prior to registering.
Using CCS to hide the button is EASY for me - as opposed to creating/editing/maintaining a separately named theme.
The time it takes to call and process the button, and then hide it - is insignificant.
Regarding share links: My current solution is just to use a footer widget to add share functionality with the "Share and Follow" plugin. Works fine for now. But, like others, I'm REALLY looking forward to a SP share plugin - that will rock! 🙂
