Hello, I'm a moderator of r / YoutubeMusic. In the community we have some widgets, one of them is the flair filter[1] but when I enter the community's appearance settings and the reddit and old redditwidget settings,[2] that widget is not in the community's widget list. I can't find a way to change or remove this widget. How can I proceed?

Hi /u/Iordbrack, r/modhelp is a volunteer moderator peer-to-peer help group focused on subreddit moderation matters, like setting up flairs. It is not managed by[1] Reddit staff/admin[2].

• When a post flair is changed, older posts with the changed flair will have to be *manually changed* to look the same.

• *"Users can't see/use flairs!"** : **(1)** BOTH user and post flairs have `Mods only` option. `Mods only` means that only moderators can assign and use that flair. If you want users to see and use the flairs by themselves, turn off 'Mods only'[11]. **(2)** Users on some mobile apps can't see the flairs, so read the sections above to enforce the use of user and post flairs. **(3)** If your flairs contain punctuation[12], it can affect how it shows up[13] on mobile apps.

The default flair filter widget cannot be removed. It appears when you start using post flair. It'll only go away if you have no posts with flair I think.

If you'd like to edit it instead, you can add the flair widget in appearance settings which will override the default one. Then you can choose which flairs show up and their order.
