Thanks for letting us know, the issue is the version number. I just created a 2.0.1 release that should update the "Default" theme and fix your updating issue.

Please let us know how that works for you!

[License free update available] You have version 2.0 installed. Update to 2.0.0. Requires SP Version 6.1.0.

Thanks for reaching out. You are correct, yesterday we made some changes to the backend and how the free theme downloads are handled. We just released version 6.10.1 that addresses this issue. Please update to the latest version of Simple:Press and try again and it should work as expected.

Best regards,
Joakim @ Simple:Press

But, when I try to update them I get a forbidden access error message

And, for example, if I go to https://simple-press.com/uploads/downloads/simple-press/themes/default-2.0.0/default.zip&wpupdate=1

I get:

Is there a reason you're using the CSS version instead of the standard Barebones version?  You might want to try the standard Barebones theme (non-css) if you're using a recent version of WordPress and Simple:Press

The file you're looking for is going to be templates/spForumView.php in the simple-press theme folder.

Thanks.

What simple:press forum theme are you using there?

Thanks.

We are having an issue that looks minor, but actually has knock on effects.

Here is a screen grab of the forum in Opera and in Chrome

As you can see, there is a space between the 'ago' post date and the poster name in Opera but not in Chrome.

Looking at the source of the page,

Opera shows a <span class="spInRowLabel"> </span>

whereas Chrome shows a <span class="spInRowLabel"></span>.

So, Chrome is obviously stripping out what it thinks is a superfluous space.

I wouldn't actually mind adding a line break in there instead of the space (especially on mobile devices) - so please can someone tell me where the file controlling this display is and I could add it into the code. Or (perhaps not as good but at least it would be neater) tell me how to make sure the space shows on all browsers?

Many thanks.

That's a plugin.  It's called Font Resizer.  If it's not in your plugins screen already you can get it from your account screen on our site.  Or if you installed the PREMIUM INSTALLER it should already be in in your plugins screen and ready to be activated.

Thanks.

I'm working with Modern2020 theme and would like to have the 'change font size option' available to users as yo uhave on this site i the top right hand corner.

Please can you advise how I do this?

Thanks

on your comment about removing the margins on the #spMainContainer class. I've added that as custom css and it works a treat. Thank you.

I'll take a look at the php file that you have referenced. I'm just a novice, so unless it's something simple to hack around, I may have to accept it as is.

Thanks again for your support. Much appreciated.

If you really really want to close up the edges some more you should remove the margins on the #spMainContainer class.  Right now those are set to 10% each.  If you remove or reduce the left and right margins you'll free up more horizontal space that the sp theme can use.

You're right about the HR - I was looking at a different version of the theme when I did the CSS inspection.  Looks like the bottom break is styled in-line with the version you're running.

The name of the file that handles that page is sp_TopicViewDesktop.php in the theme.  

An alternate way to add a thicker line in lieu of a child them would be to leave the existing line and inject some of your own code into that location.  You can do that with an action hook.  Check out the file in the main plugin forum/content/sp-common-control-functions.php.  Around line 212 is a function called sp_SectionEnd.  There are a few action hooks in there you might be able to use.  If you do go that route, the column name is 'eachPost'.  

The advantage of using the hook is that you don't have to keep updating the child theme.  The disadvantage is that you can't remove the existing horizontal line and it requires a little more knowledge about writing hook functions in WordPress.

Thanks.

Looking at the page source for a thread (e.g http://dailyphoto.co.uk/forum/.....t-with-sp/) , it looks like the break between posts are determined by <div style='clear: both; height:1px;'></div>, rather than css, which would explain why I can't get css to work. If this is the case, then please can you advise where I can find this in the theme templates so that I can increase the height.

(or a css suggestion if you think that is a better way to control)

Thanks

Rather that screengrab everything. here are some links to the dev site with the designated theme installed (I tried closing down all other plugin with WP2020 theme and there was no difference to the position of the Modern theme - it was always inset from the left hand column

1 - here is a demo full width page http://dailyphoto.co.uk/demo-full-width/  where the LH margin aligns to the page title on the left with no indentation

2 - the forum page with Modern 2020 theme and the css set width to 90% http://dailyphoto.co.uk/forum/  where the LH edge of the forum is inset from the page title and, as the css extends the width to 90%, the forum looks shifted to the right.

3 - As a comparison, I switched back to the reboot theme and attach the screenshot where the LH column edge of the forum aligns to the page title and is, with no additional css, displaying full width.

The conclusion that I draw here is that the theme full-width option is working correctly as the demo page and reboot theme shows, but there is something with the modern2020 overlay that overrides the full-width setting.

Still not managed to get the HR line working either, so if you have a suggestion for some css that would work, that would be great.

Thnaks very much

Also, use the CTRL-F5 on the page to force a full reload - that will clear out the css and js scripts.

Finally, make sure you turn off the other plugins - plugins do add their own css that can mess things up.

Oh, on that page, are you sure that none of your posts might have css in them that affects the page?  

The WordPress 2020 theme along with the Simple:Press 2020 theme should look something like this:

If it doesn't on your site it means that something is reformatting the screen.

Thanks.
