Hello:

The forum is great except for one glaring issue. The search bar button is the wrong color it is dark teal and when you hover over it is is a color I can best describe as gradient human organ red. Not exactly a color that inspires trust. It is also larger than I would like it to be. I am not the best in css and the rest of the colors are correct. Is there a setting I am missing?

Thanks for any help!

This is not the wpForo search widget. Please watch the video attached below — you’ll see that the HTML is different from the built-in wpForo widget.

You can find the documentation for wpForo widgets here:

Okay none of my menus seem to match the documentation but let me see if i can sort this out. when i go to appearance - widgets there are two widgets available. One is disabled and the wpforo search bar widget is enabled. I can change the setting for it there and it seems to update on the website but when i search for something it shows results from the website but from the forum....This is frustrating.

We’re not sure what you mean. However, we’ve checked the search bar in your menu section, and it’s working fine.

Please watch this video:

My bad. I Finally got it. Sometimes i can be a bit slow. I went to appearance widgets yesterday and removed the search widget then the search bar at the top was the only search bar and it works. I have the widgets for recent posts and recent comments enabled on the sidebar but the recent posts widget is not showing the last post about forum rules so I still have that to sort out. As you may have guessed this forum is not fully active at present. We have not done what I call full site deployment in terms of publishing that the site exists etc. If you have any advice or tutorials on the side bar I welcome them. Thank you for all your help and for bearing with me.

I am using elementor as the page builder

Dear @wpacd1,

The “Recent Posts” widget you’ve added does not belong to wpForo. Please use the “wpForo Recent Posts” widget instead — it should work correctly.

Please note that wpForo widget names always start with the “wpForo”.
