In a Discourse support thread titled ‘Can I hide the menu “more” on left upper corner of my Discourse Forums?’, user Frankz asks how to hide or remove the ‘More’ menu located under ‘Topics’, ‘My posts’, and ‘My messages’, noting it causes usability issues. Moin explains that the ‘More’ menu disappears automatically if all its links are removed, and suggests moving the ‘Filter’ link to the ‘Community’ section of the sidebar instead. Moin also shares a video tutorial demonstrating how to customize the sidebar by adding and reordering links. Frankz confirms trying customization but seeks clarification on how to move the ‘Filter’ link. Moin clarifies that dragging links works on desktop but not tablets, recommending manual deletion and re-addition for touch devices. tobiaseigen confirms dragging works for them. Frankz asks if the ‘More’ menu can be hidden without deleting its contents — Moin clarifies that hiding the menu requires removing its contents, but reassures that settings can be reset to defaults or links re-added later. Frankz concludes the thread by thanking Moin and confirming the problem is solved.
I am building a website with Discourse. There’s a menu “ more “ on the left upper corner of Discourse under the menu Topics, My posts and My messages. The menu “ more “ brings some trouble to me:
1, when I clicked the menu “more “, there will be a small window popping up which covers the Category Menu. I will have to close the small popping up window to see the Categories.
2, there are a lot of menus in the menu “More “ , only the Filter menu is useful to my website now. Can I put the menu Filter under the menu Topics and hide the menu “More “?
Yes, you can add the filter link to the community section of the sidebar and remove it from the “more” menu.
If the more menu is empty, because you removed all the links, it’s no longer shown.
I tried to drag the icon on my desktop, it works. But then, can I hide the Menu “More “ if I don’t delete the contents of the menu More? If I delete the contents of the menu More, can I reinstall the contents by clicking “ Reset to default “?
Yes, you can always reset to defaults to get everything back. You can also add links to the more menu later by customizing the section.
I would not hide it with CSS instead of removing the links in the more menu to let Discourse hide it. Hiding the full menu will also hide the customize option for you.
