Our self-hosted instance does not have self sign-up enabled. We are doing invite-only from admin and moderators. So any newcomer who does not have an invitation will land on a very “dry” page where they only see the Log In buttom and a default text (see screenshot). I would like to add a custom text…

You can utilize a plugin outlet to do this, you’d have to add some code to your site’s theme (admin > customize > themes > edit html/css) in the </head> section. Here’s an example: <script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="/connectors/below-static/custom-login"> <div class="custom-l…

That looks like a great solution! I’m just confused by what you mean by using a “plugin outlet”. Is there an actual plugin (which one?) I need to install first in order to do that customization?

Also, if I want to display an image also in there, after or before my text, can I add further HTML code for that? what’s the easiest way to link one that would be stored in the docker container a…

So the new text is displayed after the default one. Any idea how to get rid of the latter?

Perfect! In fact that offers another option to modify the text.

Have a look at Developer’s guide to Discourse Themes. “plugin outlet” is a term of art. You don’t need a plugin to use it!
