I chose layout 3 while updating the plugin to the v7. Please I want to change it to layout 1.

To change form layout navigate to Dashboard > wpDiscuz > Forms choose form to change the layout, click the edit button, find "Comment List Layout" option and change its value.

Also the notification/bubble position, is there any how to raise it up a bit. This is because my website (allschool.com.ng) has sticky share buttons on all post pages (for mobile users). And the buttons are covering the notification/bubble bar

Add this CSS code in the "Custom CSS Code" textarea, located in the Dashboard > wpDiscuz > Settings > Styles & Colors admin page.

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
    #wpd-bubble-wrapper {
        bottom: 70px;
    }
}
