Hi everyone, new to discourse so really still getting my head around tweaks all over the place. Only noticed now that the Welcome message a user gets sent includes references to:
and
Is there an easy way to copy those articles / posts to my own site and not have users leaving my site and going to meta.discourse.org?
Around here the Install Cloud instructions are recommended. Have you upgraded to a recent version of Discourse? The 1.6 version that gets installed with their one-click install is very old. It won’t upgrade from the browser, you’ll have to log in and
cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app
And then you have to do it again because of an old version of Postgres.
Note that since their one-click install doesn’t create swap space, upgrades might fail due to lack of memory. (In the days of 1.6 you didn’t need swap if you had 2GB, but upgrades are more memory hungry now. The upgrade worked for me on a clean install, though.
You can check the mail logs for errors. It may be that the welcome message you expect wasn’t in 1.6.
Thanks for the response. I did upgrade to the latest version right after I did the one-click install, and my dashboard shows 1.8.0beta5.
The problem seems to have disappeared now. The users I have created most recently have received welcome notifications and emails. I’m not sure what was going on it seems to be working now.
