v8, "Welcome" in dashboard menu

Permalink
I have a client that doesn't want the "Welcome" menu item at the top of the dashboard sidebar menu. Is there a way to disable that? -thanks

Hi pvernaglia,

I don't believe there is a dashboard or config setting for disabling the Welcome.

You can override the element welcome.php to remove it.

I misread your question, I thought you wanted the "Welcome" text and image removed from the Welcome page. My previous reply does not apply.

I believe you can change the permissions for the page.
Dashboard > Sitemap > Full Sitemap

Simple Permissions
- in the full sitemap, open the permissions for Dashboard > Welcome
- under "Who can view this page?", remove all users

Advanced Permissions
- in the full sitemap, open the permissions for Dashboard > Welcome
- under "Current Permission Set", remove all users from View

This should remove the page for everyone except for the superuser admin.

I also misunderstood your question, thought you wanted to get rid of the screen. I guess you should try the suggestion above to hide the page in sitemap with page-permissions.

Hi,
On sitemap from Options select "Include System Pages in Sitemap", then delete Welcome page which is under Dashboard tree.
Also, you can move the page to another path which less visible to users.

I forgot about all those pages just being under the system sitemap. I set the Exclude From nav attribute on it and it's gone for now. I think that is a better solution than deleting the pages from the site map.

thanks
