Hi there,

Because my forum is in its early stages, I only need one section in my extended forum section.

Here is a link to the forum: http://examqa.com/forums/

Is there a way such that when a user clicks "Add topic", it automatically selects the first forum in the menu rather than the user clicking the corresponding forum in the drop down menu? I feel as though this will make things less complicated for my users as they aren't used to forums and will get confused over things like this.

Cheers.

Hi zeeshan333,

I'll ask the developers and let you know if there is an easy solution.

Hi @zeeshan333,

Please follow the steps below:

1. Install the Simple Custom CSS and JS plugin:  https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/

2. Add the following JS code via the plugin

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-4 .add_wpftopic:not(.not_reg_user)").click(function (e){
var wrap = jQuery(this).closest('div.wpfl-4');
var form_wrap = jQuery( ".wpf-topic-form-extra-wrap", wrap );
if (!jQuery(e.target).find('.fa-times').length && !jQuery(e.target).hasClass('fa-times')) {
setTimeout(function(){jQuery(".wpf-topic-form-forumid", form_wrap).val("9").change()}, 500);
}
});
});

It'll work as you expected.
