It's more than a year later and the problem still isn't fixed ☹️ Only Firefox shows this 'bug', Chrome works fine.
I wanted to add wpForo to my wordpress websites but if after a whole year this 'bug' still isn't fixed i'm not sure if I should use wpForo or other forum software. I prefer wpForo but please fix this 'bug' asap, it looks messy and I want to have a professional looking forum. Is there a way to inactivate the 'Font sizes' option so it won't be visible anymore?

Hi @tvz

From the Original Post July 1, 2018. there's been several wpForo Updates, there's been 7 updates .. beginning here:

https://wpforo.com/community/wpforo-announcements/wpforo-1-5-0-is-released/

Check out the announcements Page, too.

If it STILL remains to be a bug on July 5, 2019, well, I checked my forum and tested it on Firefox on my Mobile Device and Firefox Desktop. I can't recreate the issue or error you are seeing. I tested it on the three different layouts, Threaded, Simplified and Extended layout, all on Firefox. It looks okay to me.

So I don't think it is STILL a wpForo Bug, but could possibly be a conflict between your WP Theme and wpForo Classic Theme CSS Files. (If it was a bug, it would show up also on this wpForo Forum, right?)

Also, this happens when the Styles.css files has been changed in some way. So it is better to just use the Custom CSS Code in the Forum Settings.

Is there a way to inactivate the 'Font sizes' option so it won't be visible anymore?

You can TRY my code below:

Add this to your

Forums > Settings > Styles > Custom CSS Code:

.mce-btn-has-text {
display: none !important;
}

I tested my suggested code above first before posting it here, so if you add my code snippet above, the error you are seeing, meaning the "Font Sizes" button, should no longer display, so it will change

FROM THIS:

 

TO THIS: 

 

I hope that helps. 🙂  Please make sure that after you add the code, to press Control F5 twice on your front end - or view your website in Incognito Mode, so you can see the changes.

P.S. If my code doesn't help, it might be useful to post here what Forum Layout you are using, and also your website, so maybe the Support Team and other Community Members can also take a look and give some tips that might work for you. Good luck!

This is a problem for me since a long time. And it is real. I have tried several things that could conflict but i haven't found a way to solve it.

I THINK that at some point it was solved and then came back.

I have see it happen here also a couple of time.

Hi Massimo, yes of course it is real as there are screenshots, and my apologies if my post came out as if I was doubting, it was just that when I tested it on my own forum, I couldn't recreate the error. 

However, I found a "workaround" that others may be able to use, if they just want to hide that "Font Size" that appears.  That I tested to work for my forum, to get that "area" to disappear, or not display.  You can try it too, and then just remove it if it doesn't work for you.  

Forums > Settings > Styles > Custom CSS Code:

.mce-btn-has-text {
display: none !important;
}

Good luck.  🙂

Mind you that the above CSS shouldn't be used. It hides also several other things in TinyMCE, like buttons in Source Code option for example.

Thank you @anonymous20. You're right. The above code only worked for me when I suggested it in July 5, 2019 as I used it for Forum Version 1.6.1. (I still use it on my Forum #2).

I use Version 1.6.2 on my Forum #3.

https://wpforo.com/community/wpforo-announcements/wpforo-1-6-2-is-released/

And as I also need the Font Sizes to not display, for WP translated sites for other clients (it's a WP Core translation error, not a wpForo error), I figured out the code to use below, and I am using it on my Forum #3, using Version 1.6.2 of wpForo (released on July 10, 2019), effective today, 07/21/2019. 

The code below just hides the "Font Sizes" button on the Topic or Post editor, because in some translated sites, the "Field label" displays, instead of the actual Font Size options (example, for some French websites, it displays : " Tailles de police", in some other English sites not using en_US, like some en_GB sites, it displays "Font Sizes" etc. ).  You can check if your version of WP has been translated at 100% at:  https://translate.wordpress.org/ . Sometimes the WP Core files are translated 100%, but the WP Theme files are not.  There's just way too many moving parts in a website, so all we can do is test and implement and see what works. 🙂 

And here's the code I use and that I am sharing here, for those who will be using the latest Version 1.6.2  (released on July 10, 2019), who might also be dealing with a similar issue. 

Just add it Forums > Settings > Styles > Custom CSS Code:

button#mceu_0-open {
display: none !important;
}

DISCLAIMER: It works for me, it may not work for others. I tested this to work on Google Chrome and Firefox, on Extended Layout, and my websites meet the wpForo Server Requirements in the document below:

https://wpforo.com/docs/wpforo-installation/server-requirements/

I'm also unsubscribing from this topic. I'm sharing tips here to try and help others if I can, and also to contribute to the Community and to maybe give back and help the Support Team here to have to respond to similar topics, when I think I have already found the possible solution. I know my tips may or may not work for others, but I would not share them here if it didn't work for me. Each website has their own WP language, WP theme, WP plugins that all comes into play when any Forum is installed.  So use at your discretion or at your own risk.
