Discussion Summary: Hide ‘Create Topic’ on home page?
GSeven requested a way to hide the ‘Create Topic’ button on the home page, requiring users to navigate to a category/subcategory before posting. cpradio provided a CSS rule to achieve this:
body:not([class*='category-']) #create-topic {
display : none;
}
This rule hides the ‘Create Topic’ button on the home page but shows it on category pages. GSeven then asked to modify the code to also show the button on category>subcategory>tag pages, which cpradio accommodated with an updated rule:
body:not([class*='category-']) #create-top ic {
display: none;
}
body.tags-page #create-topic {
display: block;
}
Mstm appreciated the solution but noted that it didn’t work on mobile devices. Nolo provided a workaround, suggesting the use of a more specific declaration or the !important property to override the mobile styles:
body:not([class*="category-"]) #create-topic {
display: none !important;
}
Mstm successfully implemented the solution using the !important property.
Is it possible to hide the ‘create topic’ button on the home page?
i would like my users to navigate to the appropriate category/subcategory before posting a topic, because then the correct category option is automatically placed in the composer, instead of having to scroll through what will be hundreds of categories and subcategories in the drop down menu looking for the right one.
Does anybody know how to do this please?
Try this CSS Rule
body:not([class*='category-']) #create-topic {
display: none;
}
It will only let the create-topic button appear on category pages.
Yes cpradio, absolutely perfect, top notch support.
many thanks.
actually, can the code be tweeked to show the ‘create topic’ button also in category>subcategory>tag?
Just to confirm, you have show filter by tag enabled?
i do indeed have it enabled.
so when someone goes to service(category)>county(subcategory)>town(tag) the create topic button is shown.
K, this is what you will want then
body:not([class*='category-']) #create-topic {
display: none;
}
body.tags-page #create-topic {
display: block;
}
Yes, The ‘create topic’ button now shows up on the page when a tag is selected.
absolute genius. i love you guys.
This populates the composer with the correct category and the correct tag.
Von mir auch danke, @cpradio, das wäre eine tolle Funktion.
Leider funktioniert es nicht mit mobilen Geräten 
Ich habe alles ausprobiert, aber ich verstehe nicht, wie ich „Thema erstellen“ auf Mobilgeräten ausblenden kann.
Auf kleinen Displays ist es schwierig, Kategorien und Tags zu durchsuchen. Dieses Contribute > Feature würde sehr helfen. Warum nicht eine Option im Menü hinzufügen? 
Sie können den Stil-Inspektor Ihres Browsers verwenden. Er zeigt an, dass die Deklaration auf Mobilgeräten durch eine spezifischere überschrieben wird:
Sie können also entweder selbst die spezifischere Deklaration für Mobilgeräte verwenden:
body:not([class*="category-"]) .list-controls .container #create-topic {
display: none;
}
Oder Ihrer allgemeinen Deklaration mit der Eigenschaft !important Vorrang einräumen:
body:not([class*="category-"]) #create-topic {
display: none !important;
}
Danke @manuel, ich habe die !important-Eigenschaft verwendet, und es funktioniert perfekt!
