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.

see attached .lss file

It works for me. Have you reset the browser cache and the LimeSurvey assets?

Yes I've cleared the browser cache - what do you mean assets and how are they cleared?

what do you mean assets and how are they cleared?

"Configuration / Global Settings"

Thank you @joffm you are a lifesaver and a HUGE asset to LimeSurvey. Couldn't have progressed without your kind assitance.

As for my accidental deletion of the /tmp folder - I had a backup from several days ago and re-installed.

All is good now!

Enjoy your sailing and boat activities!

Hi all,

is it possible to remove the asterisk in only one question ?

And while we are at it, how can remove the question-title-container of a multiple choice question?

(for context: I need to split a multiple choice question that has too many subquestions and I would like to remove the asterisk and the space normally used by the question title).

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Ana

Hi, Ana,

I fear you want to display these questions as usual on one page.
So you may set a css class of "no-asterisk" on this question
and in your custom.css add


And for the title-container:
You have to hide the "question-title-container" and the "questionvalidcontainer" (no mistake, once with hyphens, once without)

So again use the css class and add to the custom.css
