    Please help me finding a way to delete the welcome message:

    'Home
    Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in?'


    Thanks

    Default Re: How to delete welcome message?

    I removed the greeting and log in link by going to the index.php file under the english folder as listed in the path below.

    /public_html/includes/languages/english/index.php


    I then found the key with the Welcome Guest greeting which is close to the top of the file. The Welcome .... and href is between two commas. Delete everything between the two commas. Make sure you leave the commas.


    define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'remove everything between these commas');

    It should end up looking like:

    define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', '');


    This will remove the line without messing anything up. After I removed the standard welcome, I put the "Log In" link in my header. You can use the define pages editor to add your own welcome to the main page and formate it the way you want.

    Don't forget to set up and use the overrides system.

    I agree, but for some reason my override system does not work. I made the changes in my template override files but it made no difference. I had to go to the index file in the english folder to have it work. The template I installed appears to have created all the correct folders for the overrides, but my system doesn't seam to ever look in those folders.

    Opps, I found the problem. The template didn't create all the override folders. It missed a few. I created them and now the override for the index.php file is working.

    Thank you for the correct answer lol

    I have done this so many time i know better then to edit the english or index files as little as possible.. My experience has been if you do and there is an error you'll get a blank page and have to run the error check tool to fix it..

    haha anyways thank you for the setting info :)
