I’m using the wpForo “Forums” widget inside Elementor (WordPress widget).

In Elementor edit mode, the forum list displays correctly (icons, spacing, parent/child hierarchy).
On the frontend, the same widget renders flatter — Font Awesome icons disappear and indentation/spacing changes, even though the HTML output is identical.

Hi @d0rk62 ,

The Elementor edit mode doesn't load wpForo CSS code. Also, wpForo widgets are displayed correctly if they are loaded in wpForo Sidebar, in other places you'll see different layout and stile. So we only support wpForo widget layout and style issues if they have been loaded in wpForo Sidebar in through Appliance > Widget admin page. Other ways of inserting wpForo widgets will have unexpected results in therms of view, because the CSS class and ID tree will be crashed even if the widget HTML is the same.

Please use wpForo sidebar for wpForo widgets if you want to get the best results. In other cases you should do custom CSS to make it look as you want.
