At the moment you have to click on the search icon in the forum menu bar to expand the search input box. Is it possible to have the search box already expanded without having to click first?

Hi,

Please use this CSS code:

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-search input[type="text"].wpf-search-field{
   width: 180px;
   background: #fff;
   z-index: 5;
}

Insert the CSS Code in the "Custom CSS Code" textarea in the wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles admin page.

Please don't forget to delete all caches and press Ctrl+F5 (twice) on the frontend before checking to reload the updated CSS file.

In case you want to say thank you 😊
