Perfect, thanks Radu. Could you also let me know how to style this box so that it is a bit smaller. And why does it turn a darker colour when you click somewhere else on the page?
Regards, AdamHi Radu,
Please see attached screenshot. I would like to put the “Search website:” text inside the white search box as shown. I would like this text to disappear once someone starts typing their search.

AdamThanks Laura. That is perfect!
Could you also show me how to style my “forums” and “groups” main page titles as they currently display differently to all the other page titles and I can’t find how to alter them.
https://greenscotland.org/groups/ (regular page title is not showing, just a smaller “Groups” in the middle)
https://greenscotland.org/forums/ (page title shows but is lower than my other page titles)
Thanks,
AdamHi,
Can someone help me to style this search form. I have added it to my site footer using [kleo_search_form] but it is bigger than I would like and I would also like to be able to add the text “Search” inside it.
Thanks,
AdamHi Laura, thanks for your suggestion. I have been fiddling about and found a solution I am fairly happy with using Contact Form 7. Easy to set up and works well for what I was after (https://greenscotland.org/plans/). Regards, Adam
Hi,
You will see in the attached screenshot that there is a logo showing up now on the WordPress admin login screen. I would like to know how to style this logo or the page itself so that the colours look better.
Thanks,
AdamHi Laura,
So, there is no way to add simple forms with check boxes using something already within Kleo?
Thanks, AdamHi again Laura,
Sorry, I need to check again. I am still concerned that the first visit to my site is slow. It is nearly 9 secs load time and most other sites I visit are no way near as slow as this. On the second visit, when the caching takes effect, the speed is fine, in fact very good. But my site is small and I don’t have many users yet so I would like it to be performing faster. Surely 9 secs is a very slow loading time?!
What do you think.
Many thanks,
AdamThanks a lot Laura! Thanks for taking a look and for explaining things so clearly. Much appreciated.
All my best,
AdamThanks for taking a look Laura. Much appreciated! The second time I do a speed check I get the same results as you but the first time I get slow results (see screenshot). I guess this is down to caching. But the initial visit seems very slow, would you agree? And is there any way to improve this?
Thanks also for setting up the modules and speed section. So, just to check, I don´t need to “combine theme css files” or “combine theme js files”? Can you explain why you have left those two options unchecked please.
Also, does it make any difference to speed if I leave shortcodes (shortcodes settings on modules and speed page) enabled even if I am not using them?
Kind regards,
AdamHi Laura,
Yes, I think it must have been something to do with the social articles plugin update or the new kleo theme update. Before these two new updates on Friday I wasn´t having any issues. Did other users flag up similar problems with social articles and kleo theme over the weekend?
There were two new updates to the same plugins yesterday which I installed and since then I haven´t seen the error messages. However, my site appears to be running a bit slower than it was previously.
I would appreciate if you could let me know if there were known problems with one or both of the plugin/theme so I know what has been going on.
Many thanks,
AdamBy the way, I see I added a link incorrectly for you to check, here is the correct link to see the small avatar size, thanks: https://greenscotland.org/members/renewgreenenergy/
Hi Radu,
Thanks for your help. However that bit of css only makes the avatar larger or smaller within the same sized circle. I would like to make the circle and the actual size of the avatar larger. Is that possible with a bit of similar css?
Also, I would like to add some text below the avatar to summarise the user.
Thanks,
AdamThanks for your input Isidore! Much appreciated. Hopefully we can find a proper solution to this soon.
Kind regards, AdamHi, I have already done what you described but, as I said, the dates still show in the posts that are not “Featured posts” in the “News focus” module (see my homepage greenscotland.org), I want to know how to stop those dates showing on those post teasers that are not featured posts, thanks, Adam
Don´t worry Laura. Thanks a lot for your help anyway.
Yes, I have got a little list of outstanding things I am planning to get a developer to take a look at and I have added this to it.
All my best,
AdamHi Laura,
Thank you very much for looking into this. I won´t take up any more of your time.
I am still not that happy with this bug of Buddypress as it makes the set up of a new account confusing for new users. But I will look into adding a note to the registration form instructing users to only choose usernames with lowercase letters and without spaces.
Kind regards,
AdamHi Laura,
I don’t understand why a few months ago I was able to create usernames with spaces such as “adam-skelton”, but suddenly it stopped allowing this. I definitely have a few usernames that were set up with spaces and now have a “-” so it was allowed at one time. I haven’t altered the register php file so I don’t know why this would have changed.
Could you clarify if the default Kleo theme lets you use spaces with a username or does not let you use spaces.
Thanks,
AdamHi again Laura,
I just noticed that some of my website users who registered longer ago have been set up with usernames that included spaces. Laura Garrido Eslava, for example, chose a username with spaces (Laura Garrido Eslava) and was successfully granted the user name laura-garrido-eslava.
That is what I would like to still be happening now, but it isn’t, as I have previously explained.
I wonder if you can work out what has happened to change this. Has it been due to a Kleo update or is it something I have done???
Thanks again,
AdamHi Laura,
Your screenshot shows how to add a message to the part of the new user registration process where the new user adds his or her “Profile details”, but I want to add a message to the side of the process where the new user adds their “Account details” and chooses his or her “Username”. This is different to the “Profile” name. Please check my screenshot of the two different sections.
With the “Profile” name there isn´t a problem. But with the “Username” the site only lets a new user choose a username without spaces. If I were to sign up as the username “Adam Skelton”, for example, the page refreshes itself but does or states nothing. The new user then presumes there was some mistake and tries again with the same details. This time they are accepted, but they can only log in with a version of the same username minus spaces i.e. “AdamSkelton”. However they aren´t to know this and it is all very confusing.
For sure I will lose potential sign ups like this. So ideally I would like usernames to be accepted with spaces, however the new user chooses to set their username. Or to be able to add a short message beside the “Username” box of the “Account details” so that they know they can´t use spaces for their username.
Please could you take another look and advise.
Many thanks,
AdamHi,
The users-profile fields only lets me add a note to the “profile details” part of the new account sign up. But I would need to add a note to the “account details” part of the new account sign up where the new user chooses a username.
I don’t think it lets me access the “account details” part via my dashboard (I may be wrong?) so how do I add a note to the “username” option?
Or, even better, is it not possible to allow usernames with spaces?
Regarding the plugin you suggested, I had already checked that plugin out but it hasn’t been updated in a long time and I prefer not to use it. Do you know of another way or another plugin? Do you think it’s a bad idea to bypass the automatic registration activation emails?
Many thanks,
AdamHi,
I would appreciate if someone could get back to me regarding this issue so that I can get is resolved asap and move forward.
Many thanks,
AdamFollowing up on the last question, is there a way to remove the automatic email that is sent out to confirm a new user and just have new users register seamlessly to use the site, but with some kind of captcha or something to stop spammers? I am having trouble with automatic registration emails not arriving to my new users or arriving in their spam.
Thanks,
AdamHi Radu,
Thanks for that advice and sorry for pasting the incorrect code before. Now it is all fine.
Much appreciated!
Kind regards,
AdamHi Radu, I had added that exact code before with the font color set up for white, but as you will see the “logout” and “live notifications” texts appear darker/duller. Please advise. Adam
Hi, I added the code and the font color still looks a duller color. Is there some other setting that is making the “logout” and “live notifications” appear darker? Thanks, Adam
Hi Radu,
Thanks for getting back to me.
My top bar has got the login/login/live notifications/my account links in it. Until you are logged in you can only see a login/join button. Once logged in you see the text that I was referring to previously.
Regards,
Adam
