Where can I please find the width settings for wpforo?
Hi @marsm,
Widget settings come with widgets. When you put a new widget in a sidebar you see the widget settings in Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets admin page. I'd recommend install Classic Widgets plugin to manage widgets very easy.
@robert I was referring to the full width of wpforo as a whole, not the widgets. Can I lock the width at a certain number?
I’m still battling with this. The wpforo sidebar is not fitting in properly. Please attached.
I don't see any issue. You should remove the ad banner if it goes beyond the sidebar borders, it's not controlled by wpForo.
@Robert thanks for that. The issue is there's nothing wrong with the banner when displayed on a laptop (see attached), and the ad is designed to fit all our sidebars.
Here is the CSS code you can use:
div#wpforo {
width: 98%;
margin:0 auto;
}
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap {
padding: 15px;
}
Insert the code in the respective textareas:
- Single Board Forum:
- Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles
- Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles
- Multi-Boards Forum:
- Dashboard > EN Forum > Settings > Colors & Styles
- Dashboard > FR Forum > Settings > Colors & Styles
- Dashboard > EN Forum > Settings > Colors & Styles

@sofy unfortunately that didn’t work. The issue is that it appears that the sidebar narrows on the iPad to honor the forum sizing. Please see attached.
Also the forum sidebar styling is completely different from the rest of my template styling. Can I “replace” wpforo sidebar with one of my template sidebars?
@marsm Sure, why use wpForo sidebar? I never use that. Move all widgets to your theme's sidepanel and use some widget plugin to show / hide things.
Also for your visual issues, please try (if you can) a proper theme, Kadence and you will be able to TUNE everything.
@dimalifragis thanks for that. Where do I find the place to replace the wpforo sidebar? I have loads of sidebars I can use that I have already created I just don't know where instruct wpforo to use that sidebar.
You have a PRIMARY sidebar for your theme? No? Just move the widgets from wpForo sidebar to that. Nothing else is needed. If wpForo sidebar is empty, it will not show.
@dimalifragis yes, but I want my primary sidebar to be different to my wpforo sidebar.
I told you HOW.
Use a widget options plugins to show / hide different widgets on different pages or urls. Or whatever.
