Hi there, I’m using Sam's Simple Theme but it doesn’t enable bulk selection. More precisely, the selection boxes appear but not the actions menu. [Screenshot from 2024-11-28 13-40-25] When I revert to the default Discourse theme it works as expected. I tried adding a theme component with the CSS that I could find for the bulk selection, but it makes no difference. .topic-list .topic-list-data.bulk-select { padding: 0; width: 30px; } .bulk-select-topics { display: inline-flex; } Is there any way I could add in this functionality? Thanks a lot.

Can you reproduce here on meta with Sam’s Simple Theme? I just tried, and I see the button: [A screenshot of a forum page showing two topics: one about posting code or formatted text and another about a meta discussion site for Discourse. (Captioned by AI)]

Thanks for the reply. I don’t have moderator permissions here on Meta so no bulk selection.

As non-moderator, you should see the Dismiss button: [A screenshot showing a forum thread titled "How to enable bulk selection for theme?" with options to select or clear all new topics. (Captioned by AI)]

Ah OK, yes, that works for me both here and on my forum. But the bulk actions menu for moderators is a separate dropdown menu that appears with more options, that’s what I’m missing.

please make sure both the theme component and Discourse instance are up-to-date. that functionality was added.

Hi there, yes they are both up to date.

is this the menu you are referring to? [Screenshot 2024-11-28 at 11.01.30 AM] That is a mod on my test forum running Sam’s simple theme that I just updated.

Hmm weird. Since I started using it a few years ago bulk selection actions never appeared with Sam’s Simple Theme. While working on some other theme component a year or so ago I did run across a code snippet that made it start working, but I either removed it by accident or it stopped working with an update. The only possible difference I can think of is that I’m on the stable branch, but like I said this has been a long-standing issue for years for me.

[תמונה] rahim123: The only possible difference I can think of is that I’m on the stable branch yea this is likely why. I think the new bulk actions menu was only recently added to that theme. if you look at your forum as an admin with that theme, or in safe-mode as a mod, do you see the proper bulk actions menu?

With ?safe_mode=no_themes%2Cno_plugins it does work but that’s obviously just because it disables 3rd party themes.

I downloaded the main branch from GitHub - discourse/discourse-simple-theme: Sam's simple discourse theme · GitHub and a quick search for bulk in all the files doesn’t find anything.

So I guess what I don’t understand is that bulk selection never worked for me with Sam’s Simple Theme until I added a few lines of code a year or so ago, I can’t remember if it was CSS or JS in the HEAD.
