The discussion revolves around a bootstrap notice appearing on a Discourse site with only a few users. Seth_Godin asks why the notice persists despite exceeding the 3-user threshold and why it can’t be disabled. pfaffman points to the bootstrap_mode_min_users setting, noting the process runs daily. Seth_Godin confirms the setting isn’t visible in search. pfaffman explains the issue may stem from the Basic Plan hiding certain settings. JammyDodger clarifies that the low user count (3) suggests a Basic Plan site, where the setting is hidden but the banner clears after 24 hours. Jagster briefly comments on using underscores in searches, with JammyDodger confirming they work unless the setting is hidden.
My new discourse install has three members plus me, with two more about to join.
I keep seeing this
In settings, I can’t find anything searching for ‘bootstrap’ or anything else I can guess.
so, question one: why is it not turning itself off since we’ve crossed 3?
and question two, why can’t the admin turn it off?
thanks
bootstrap_mode_min_users is the setting you’re looking for. Maybe you limited your search to just one section of them.
The process that changes that runs just once daily, I think.
Looking at the low number (3) in the banner I think that may be a Basic plan site? (it’s normally 50) If so, then the setting for bootstrap mode is a hidden setting on the Basic plan and can’t be tweaked like other tiers. But the banner is only visible to staff, and will clear within 24 hours after you hit the target number. 
Don’t use underscores.
Just for the record @Jagster, the admin setting search does work if you use the underscore version of the setting name 
(as long as the site setting isn’t a hidden one)
I was quite ready to show screenshot where underscores doesn’t work.
Well, perhaps it’s better without that screenshot 
Abd I’ve cleaned those away every time… totally waste of time and good underscores
