Hello,

Is there a possibility to deactivate the asterisk sign without switching madatory questions off? I am aware that they should be a sign for mandatory questions but I do not want these signs in my questionnaire, regardless if questions are mandatory or not.

Thank you

This can be accomplished by putting :

.asterisk { display:none; }

in your template css file. Location depends on your version of LimeSurvey.
This should go after any other references to "asterisk".

FAQ, here we go.

Oh, the answer is the FAQ. Sorry to ask
Thank you jelo and fvanderstarre

Hi there. Does anyone know how to remove the red asterisk in a LimeSurvey 3.x theme? I see the FAQ but it seems to apply only for LimeSurvey 2.x. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
you read the FAQ "How do I get rid of the * (red asterisk) of mandatory questions?" and did not even try it?

Added to custom.css:

Worked like a charm, thanks so much for the prompt response!

I have tried numerous times to edit the css template to get rid of the asterisk, but it just doesn't go away (even when testing with a fresh cache). Could someone clarify what I am messing up in the CSS? I have pasted the line ".asterisk {display: none;}" every way possible to the following section, but there is no change to the asterisk.
/* Asterix */
.asterisk {
display: inline-block;
font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome;
font-size: inherit;
text-rendering: auto;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}
.asterisk:before {
content: "\f069";
}
.asterisk {display: none;}

What LimeSurvey version and theme are you using?

Version 2.72.6
default template

Hmm, this works for me:


Can you activate a test survey and give a link here so we can see if something is overriding it?

Version 3.17.7+190627

I've placed:

.asterisk { display:none; }

in all of my custom.css files for all of my templates yet the asterisk persists.
