Self-explanatory in the title but I want to push the forum ‘up’ the page and remove my sites wordpress menu and header image from the forum page only – can you tell me how I might go about achieving this please ?
WP menu? which one is that? a navigation menu? you will need a wp plugin for that for custom menu loading – we dont interact with the nav menu… if other menu, please explain further…
it is your wp theme that is also putting in the page title… its the page template you use for the wp page that the forum is on that you need to modify. If your wp theme default page template has the page title in it, you will need to create a new custom page template for your theme and remove the wp template function call outputting the header…
that said on the latter, depending on how your wp theme operates, you could try going to forum – options – general settings and try removing the page title completely and see if it works with your wp theme…
Yes sorry I mean the wordpress navigation menu – I think I need a custom full width page template with the header etc removed – I will speak with my theme provider unless you have any suggestions/advice on how to do this ? Thanks again for the quick response.
One last thing for now (promise)…can you tell me how I can get my Search Box narrower with the Search button on the same line as you have on your forum – mine looks like this the image below. I tried playing with the settings in spHead.php after creating my own custom template but can’t get it displayed as you guys have -:
You will need a custom header file and a custom page template file as well to do that I believe.
We can probably advise of the search box question but would need to be able to see the actual page.

I will send you the page via PM just now so you can hopefully advise on the search box changes ?
The problems lie in your WP theme styling. The oversized depth of the input field is found in a styles.css file (one of them) and is defined as:
input { padding: 10px !important; }
This adds all the extra space but also – because of that !important statement – overrides everything. Bad practice.
The alignment of field and button can be found in the file base.css in the #Forms section where you will find this:
select { display: block; }
Not really sure why that is responsible but it is!
Thanks for that – have managed to resolve the first issue but no idea what I have to do with the 2nd one – will see if my theme developer can actually answer a support question !
