Hello, I'm creating new website with wpForo plugin, and I got few questions:
1. How can I remove from user profill possibility to add social media/website address?
2. How can I change color of background of website where wpForo is located? I found styles option, but looks like there is no possibility to change background.
3. How can I change width for mobile devices, because forum looks very weird on smartphones?
4. How can I hide/remove informations about edited post?
Have a nice day!
Hi @weform,
1. How can I remove from user profill possibility to add social media/website address?
Please navigate to the Dashboard > Forums > Setiings > Styles admin page put the following CSS code in the "Custom CSS code" textarea:
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-field-name-site{
display:none !important
}
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-tr.row-1 {
display:none !important;
}
Please don't forget to delete all caches and press CTRL+F5(twice) on the frontend before checking.
2. How can I change color of background of website where wpForo is located? I found styles option, but looks like there is no possibility to change background.
Please leave the forum URL to allow us to check it and provide a simple CSS solution for you.
3. How can I change width for mobile devices, because forum looks very weird on smartphones?
If you provide the URL this is will be checked as well.
4. How can I hide/remove informations about edited post?
Please navigate to the Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Topics & Posts admin page, disable the following options:
- Display Post Editing Information
- Display Topic Editing Information
@alvina Thank you for fast support! Since website is hidden for now, can I send you access somewhere in private?
I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding.
Please send the details to info[at]gvectors.com email address.
Both issues come from your current active theme, however below are provided the solutions that will solve the issues.
Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Styles admin page, put the CSS code in the "Custom CSS code" textarea:
.edgt-container {
background-color: #000;
}
.edgt-content .edgt-content-inner>.edgt-container>.edgt-container-inner {
width: 84%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
The red marked code can be changed before using.
Please don't forget to delete all caches and press Ctrl+F5 (twice) on the frontend before checking to reload the updated CSS file.
Also, please test it on other mobile devices or on incognito mode. Because mobile browsers have a hard cache, you'll not be able to see the change immediately.
Thanks for helping, it's working very well! I wanted to ask you how can I set custom avatar for all new users?
Please navigate to the Dashboard > Settings > Discussion admin page find the "Default Avatar" section and enable the avatar you want to display.
@alvina How can I hide user groups, or what are they for? Can newly registered user choose one of the groups by himself?
Hi @weform,
Usergroups are the base of user permissions in certain forum. Usergroups are attached to certain Access Sets in each forum. You can find more information about Forum Usergroups in the doc: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/members/usergroups-and-permissions/
To hide Usergroup information you can use corresponding options in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Members admin page. You can hide that information by disabling it for certain usergroup:
