Hi Mr. Papa,

 

Yes, but coding in the widget has changed and resulted in different text.

Before 5.0, the title in the recent forum post widget showed as black, while the details (posted in/ by) were grey. After downloading 5.0, the TFAUD titles show as grey, while their details display as black. I'd like the details to be grey again so they don't scream so loud.

 

Hope this makes sense,

 

John

The widget/tag code does not, and never has, specifed any colours whatsoever. This is inherited from your WP theme. if you want to change these then you will need to add the CSS required to your Wp theme.
If you look in the template tags SP pluign folder /library/sp-RecentPosts-tag.php file - which is what displays the results - you will see the classes listed at the top of the function. These are the classes that will need to have your own specific styling added.

I see the problem,

 

The forum and the topic are both links, hence they are displaying the same. Can we remove the forum link while keeping the topic link like in previous versions? It seems that's the only combination missing (separate links to topic and forum "forum", all link to the topic "all", and no links "   " are all there).

 

I don't think I can code these separately in my css.

You have the option in the display order to show what you like.

you want the forum link and the topic link to be different colors? odd, but doable...

in the widget options, there is a before forum text and before topic text...  add in some sort of span with a class you can style... ie

<span class='spForumLink'> or <span class='spTopicLink'>

and then close it in the after forum and after topic text...

</span>

then style the .spForumLink and .spTopicLink how you want...  untested but should work...
