Hello, I changed the placeholder text from admin-customize-text content. I change the text of placeholder (In composer) to guide my user to post nice content. But that same placeholder text showing in all composer like in reply, in message composer. So my question is how to hide placeholder from the certain composer as I don’t want to show placeholder in Message composer box. Or can we create the separate placeholder for creating new topic composer and message composer? Please help..

You just need to add the correct classes in the CSS (you can find them by using the web inspector for your browser). This should do it. #reply-control.private-message { textarea::-webkit-input-placeholder { visibility: hidden; } textarea::-moz-placeholder { visibility: hidden; } textarea:-ms-input-placeholder { visibility: hidden; } #reply-title::-webkit-input-placeholder { visibility: hidden; } #reply-title::-moz-placeholder { visibility: hidden; } #reply-title:-ms-input-placeholder { visibility: hidden; } }

[imagem]Using topic templates for categories Some categories might follow a strict pattern. One such example would be a Movies category, wherein you’d like users to start new topics according to a certain template: Instead you can use topic templates.

Yes.. but topic template contains pre defined text and we don’t have any. It is educational forum. That’s why i’m using placeholder to guide them. So, is there any solution for my question? Thank you.

You can hide placeholders with CSS. For example, the main textarea in the composer: #reply-control { textarea::-webkit-input-placeholder { visibility: hidden; } textarea::-moz-placeholder { visibility: hidden; } textarea:-ms-input-placeholder { visibility: hidden; } } You just need to adjust the classes to target the specific inputs you want to hide placeholders for.

Thank you so much @awesomerobot for reply. But you given CSS is hiding placeholder from all composer i.e. Composer for New Topic, Reply, Message.. I want to hide placeholder from the only message composer, not from other. I want keep placeholder for New Topic and Reply. [img1]

Wow.. It’s working.. That’s what i needed… Thank you so much.. You’re really Awesome.
