Duplicate fields on Forum Page

Greets!  Have just installed 5.0 in a WP 3 (up to date) site using the ClassiPress theme.  When the forum page is opened, I’m getting a sort of ‘dupe’ field for “updated topics” and “Select forum”.  See enclosed screen shot. They appear to be a incorrectly rendered version of the pull-down menu they are over-lapping.  This may be a bug or theme conflict, but I’d just like to get rid of the extra item.

I have created a child-theme from “default” and would like to simply NOT display these extra fields. In Firebug, the css appears to be: 

a class=”selectBox selectBox-dropdown” style=”display: inline-block; -moz-user-select: none;” title=”” tabindex=”0″

and

a class=”selectBox selectBox-dropdown” style=”display: inline-block; -moz-user-select: none;” title=”” tabindex=”0″

If I change the display to ‘none’ they go away – but I can’t seem to find the actual css code that is responsible!

Could anybody point me to the style-file where this is? I’ve searched with EditPad+ and it finds no ref to “selectBox”.

You need to jpoin this thread: https://simple-press.com/support-forum/sp5-general-topics/clear-instruction-on-how-to-upgrade-from-4-5-1/
We are still waiting to hear from other users on that thread regarding possible fixes. Will not your fix also remove the search box on your home page?

Yes – have now joined that thread, and included the info that it seems (for me) to be coming from ClassiPress.  And yes – my ham-fisted fix may kill other uses of that “Box widget”.  For the first round I just wanted to see if I could ‘perturb’ the errant display in anyway. Will keep plugging away and let you know if anything works.

I was hoping my last suggestion would work…
