Besides the "buddypress issue" I have some other questions to SP:

- the "Unread and recently updated topics" is missing for some reason, how can i bring it to my forum?

- is there a way to "style" the "recent post" widget and/or the "template tags"? I use them in my website footer, and they look kind of messed up there

For the first question probably just easiest to point to another thread where this is discussed: https://simple-press.com/suppo.....dminsmods/

On the second question of course it is possible. But this would need to happen in your WordPress theme stylesheet as these components are used outside of the forum page. So they will be currently utilising default WP theme rules.

The Options section of the recent posts tag codex article (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....ent-posts/) show the main class names that are applied depending on the settings being used - this is the tag that the widget uses by the way. But as always, using the developer tools built in to your browser like the console makes it a lot easier to determine CSS required and changes that style things as you want.

The Forum Thanks...Where do they hide? Do I have to activate them somewhere else but in plugins?

Setup options will be in the Components section of the forum admin (the link for this is shown beside the plugin in the plugin listing).

You will also need to turn on the permission 'Can thank a user for a post' in the permission sets you wish to enable this feature in.

If in doubt the codex should give you the information you need for individual plugins.

Okay. The "thanks" thingy would need some coding right?

I saw that the file uploader is not even necessary if I want images to be uploaded right? Images can also be dragged into the tinyMCE Editor.

One thing about @mentions . It seems to distort the forum list somehow

What SP theme are you using? I rather thought that support for 'thanks' is already built in but it might depend on which one you have...

The File Uploader is required for uploading images, media, files to your server for use in forum posts. You can drag them into TinyMCE? I have not tried but if you can then it probably saves it as a 'blob' which will sort of work but will bypass any other filter settings you may have like popup enlargement, max size etc. I will have to try it later today.

@mentions should give no problem. Sometimes you may see an issue like that because of pasted text with bad heml embedded or other controls embedded. Is that a possibility here? I would have to see it to be able to judge.

Im using a premium theme which is called "Oblivion". But I think yopu mean the Forum Template, which is "CSS-Only" from here.

 

My page is teso.trollpit.de if you like to have a look. The strange thing is, that the Uploader worked on my "old page" (that one where i hat that memory issue) and now it doesn´t.

Oh goodness me. That WordPress theme breaks just about every rule in the book. It is NOT WordPress standards/API compliant.

It loads it's own jQuery UI library instead of the proper WordPress API version. And it uses Bootstrap which is not supported by WordPress.

On the jQuery issue reading this will explain the situation: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....-conflict/

On the Bootstrap issue then this can be resolved by ensuring that Bootstrap loads before the jQuery UI library which sometimes means some fiddling with the theme code.
