Is there any way to bring it forward?  Is there a shortcode for new posts I can add to a wordpress page?  Thanks a million

Are you talking about the new posts which pop up, as clicked from the new posts button in the group itself? If not – which ‘view new posts’ are you referring to?

This should use the ui-dialog class, which other elements that popup also use, so is everything else working? Things such as admin bar admin tools, subscriptions and watches in the header, people profiles..

do you have a link?  likely a z-index issue from your wp theme…

I’m really not sure what is going on, and I don’t think it’s a local issue I’m having – maybe someone else can confirm –

It seems like when you go to http://www.saskmilitia.com, it has one WP theme, and when you click ‘Forum’ it has an entirely different WP theme?

Also I am still picking up javascript errors.

SyntaxError: syntax error forum:722
“Invalid App Id: Must be a number or numeric string representing the application id.” all.js:58
“FB.getLoginStatus() called before calling FB.init().”

 

Anyway. Your z-index or lack of is definitely a problem in the ui-dialog class. You would need to open your theme stylesheet (if default theme – sp-resources > forum-themes > default > styles > default.php)

do a search for .ui-dialog {

Add something like z-index: 100;

Looking at your forum, the only popup I can get is the ‘about SP’ link in the footer, and it appears to respond well to just having a z-index. I added z-index: 1; to the inspector class and it popped up straight away, so technically you could just add 1.

Little concerned about the appearance of two WP themes however, and also the javascript conflics. Might just be worth asking – is everything up to date? i.e Forum, WP, forum plugins, WP plugins?

It will be in the file that holds the CSS rules for your Simple:Press theme. That will be in the /styles folder of the SP theme you are using and will have the same name as the theme but could have a css or php extension depending on the theme type.

So is there a system/plugin that shows anyone where the newest posts are?

Do you mean on any non-forum page – like a front page – or blog page or something?

Sorry can you explain what you mean by ‘shows anyone where the newest posts are?’

I’m a bit confused.. You can view new posts from the ‘New / Recently Updated Topics’ quick link in the forum header, you can use the admin bar plugin to display unread posts for admins (amongst other things), you can view new posts through the unread posts button with the other tool buttons in the forum group itself, and you can set up a new forum posts widget.

If I am missing something, please explain further, otherwise – hope this helps!
