Welcome message - Where is it?

Avery Desrosiers Amal Hechehouche Dennis Pearce -- This seems like something we would also like to know the answer to.

This is the content of the "User Welcome" page. You can edit this page within the site theme by going to Manage Site Theme > Pages > find "User Welcome" > Edit Layout.

The text that is displayed is rendered by the Core - Message widget, but can be removed in favor of another widget or generic content.

Thanks Keeley!

Hi Ben

I have an option New User Welcome but when I open the page to edit the site banner is the only option for editing. There isn't any text or HTML that represents the message above. I will keep looking through these pages.

Thanks

I cannot seem to find anything representing the Welcome message in Manage Pages. Only a site banner with multiple widgets none of which contain a message.

Yes, that is confusing.

The welcome appears to be going to the "System Message" page which is used not only for user welcome but also errors and other information. The message shown for user welcome is rendered by the "Core - Message" widget, but customizations to the content would need to be made within that widget, not the "System Message" page because that also serves other purposes.

I've logged a bug to ensure that the "New User Welcome" page is used instead:

Hi Ben,

Thanks for looking into this further.

Do we think this is a fix that will happen soon or something that will have to wait for a new release?

This should be triaged today so I will follow-up and let you know whether this gets scheduled for a service release or the next major release.

hi Ben Tiedt Any update on this? Thanks

Making the welcome page easier to adjust was tentatively scheduled for the release after version 12.
