Question

how to edit the html of the ask box?

Answer 1

The simple approach will be to hack the core by editing file qa-include/plugins/qa-widget-ask-box.php.

Edit based on comments (removing the label of the editor):

1. Edit file qa-theme/<your-theme>/qa-theme.php

2. Add (if it doesn't exist) or merge (if it already exists) this function:

public function initialize() {
    parent::initialize();
    if ($this->template === 'ask') {
        unset($this->content['form']['fields']['content']['label']);
    }
}

Edit based on comments (removing the whole editor field):

1. Navigate to admin/posting and set Default editor for questions as Basic Editor.

2. Edit file qa-theme/<your-theme>/qa-theme.php

3. Add (if it doesn't exist) or merge (if it already exists) this function:

public function initialize() {
    parent::initialize();
    if ($this->template === 'ask') {
        unset($this->content['form']['fields']['content']);
    }
}

Oh, but that's not the askbox widget. That's just the ask page. Check the answer again

i have added the code... but still the input box for "more information for your question" is visible

i actually want to remove that...

This is what I see after applying the change: https://imgur.com/a/CfGReku

Are you sure you're adding the function properly?

I have seen the image file you sent....

Still that editor box appears.... I dont want any editor box or input box for "more information for your question"

Oh,I thought you just wanted to remove the "more information for the question" label. To remove the whole editor field check the edited answer
