Can we still change where the member avatar and info is?

Because of the limited space I have (width) for the forum, I use to have the member avatars and information in the forum topics at the top of each post. I have been searching for a while now, and can’t seem to find where to edit this option. Is it still possible to do this in V5?

you can of course… but its theme driven, not options…  so you probably want to switch to the stacked theme instead of default…

Oh I see. Hmm, is there any way we can add sidebar widgets to the top of the simple press page? Like blog posts. Or this would require major CSS?

There are essentially four ways to add content above the forum display.

1 – Anything you enter into the forum page in WP edit pages, will display above the forum.

2 – The WP theme page template being used for the forum can inject content above or below.

3 – The SP theme template can have content added anywhere – top bottom or within – using php/problem-with-post-edit-buttontml.

4 – Every display function of SP has a variety of filters so that content can be changed at individual item level.

Which method is chosen depends on what you want to display and whether the necessary support is available.
