Hi guys,

 

I'd like to remove the date stamp from the Recent Forums widget and get everything on 2-3 lines (the first line displays the person's topic in black while the second line shows "posted in X forum by X name"). I had everything showing perfectly with 4.5, but it looks like there will be some tinkering to get things the same.

 

Is there an easy fix for this?

Well did you look at the options on the widget dialog? You can remove the date there.

if you need to change styling then you have to understand that we can not provide the CSS for this as it needs to be placed in your wp theme. So by default it will inherit the Wp theme styling

Yes, unticking the date box only removes the "since" date, but the actual post date remains.

I was referring to the display order setting

If you wish completely remove showing a specific component then you can remove it from the Display order.
For example if you wish to not include the date then you would remove the "D" from the  "TFAUD"  display order

THAT'S what I was looking for! I didn't know what TFAUD was.

 

Thanks!

Bold <b></b> and italics <em></em> work beautifully, but I can't get the font color to change. Are we stuck with black?

font color in what???  the recent posts widget?  you need to add css styling to your wp theme that covers the elements in the widget and you can change the color to whatever you want...
