Hello,

I'm experimenting with a new wordpress theme on my staging site, and noticed that it breaks a few parts of WPForo (see screenshot).

Any idea why this is happening, and what I can do about it?

This is a theme CSS conflict. It may happen with any plugin and theme. This is not wpForo specific issue, this is WEB programming issue. S if you're familiar with CSS you should be able to fix this very easy. If not just leave forum URL we'll take a look on that once we got some free time. Also you can ask theme developers to fix this issue. It comes from theme not from wpForo.

Thanks, Robert.

The theme dev said they don't troubleshoot third-party issues... I'm going to leave it for now. But may revisit this in the future.

I figured it out with some trial and error! Maybe this will help others in the future (not sure if this CSS issue was caused by a setting in the theme or in WPForo).

I added the following code:

div.cat-title {

    position: static;

    background-color: #43a6df;

}

The position was set to "absolute" before, and the colour needed to be changed because it was set to some green color - now it matches the WPforo setting.
