  Hello,

  I’m designing a website however I have no experience with html and CSS so when I need to fix bits and bobs of my website, I copy and paste CSS code that I manage to find online and it has been working so far.

  The problem I have at the moment is I’m using a forum plugin called wpforo and I would like to edit how the reply / create new topic box looks. It looks very cluttered and unattractive (https://prnt.sc/paccv) and wanted it to look a bit more like this (https://prnt.sc/pac5fm).

  What CSS could I add such that I could hide a few buttons?
  Here are some screenshots of how the answer box is laid out on my website

  https://prnt.sc/pacea4
  https://prnt.sc/paceha
  https://prnt.sc/pacf09

  Hiding some buttons would be the quick fix, if possible – what CSS could I add such that I could reveal the hidden buttons with an ‘advanced’ button then unreveal it with a ‘basic button’, here are two screenshots to demonstrate what I mean.

  Thank you.

  the first screenshot was supposed to be this: https://prnt.sc/paccv8
  and the last sentence is incorrect (the blog I need help with is…)

  Hi there,

  What CSS you’d need would depend on your theme, and we can’t really help with this without also being able to see your site. Screen shots don’t help, as we can’t use the browser inspector to find our what CSS is already being applied to those elements.

  Additionally this forum only provides support for sites hosted on WordPress.com, and your mention of using a forum plugin leads me to believe you’re using the open source WordPress software found on WordPress.org, which is something different.

  Please contact support for your theme directly, or support for the forums plugin you’re using might also be able to help with this.

  You can find general support for the open source version of WordPress at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  I’m using a managed wordpress site from godaddy.
  The website URL is http://79.170.42.3/examqa.com/forums/

  Thanks for directing me to the right forums, if someone does have a solution to this problem I would still greatly appreciate it!
