A user reports that the setup wizard banner persists after completing the setup process in Discourse, despite multiple attempts and rebuilds. jessii asks for clarification on the issue and suggests troubleshooting steps. The user confirms the banner remains, and the wizard leads to Step 6, which seems to not save changes. Alexander suggests enabling the bypass_wizard_check setting as a workaround. jessii investigates potential issues with the company name or domain input. JammyDodger notes this is a known issue affecting multiple users and moves the discussion to the bug category. techAPJ provides the fix, explaining that the issue stems from Step 6 not saving changes, and advises re-completing the final step to resolve it.
The long and short, I’ve completed the setup wizard (I’ve also tried it multiple times) - however the
Welcome to your new Discourse! Let’s get started with the setup wizard
banner never disappears. I’m not sure if this is a bug but I figured I’d post here before considering it one.
Thanks!
Hey there @seraphimrp - Sorry to hear about the setup wizard being displayed. May I ask, are you seeing something like this appear:
A repeated “Welcome to your new Discourse. Let’s get started with the setup wizard”? Also, when you click on the wizard is it taking you anywhere that you can confirm the original design you completed? If you’re able to, you could try rebuilding the container in PuTTy or SSH using to see if that helps with clearing that banner:
cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app
Hello 
It doesn’t repeat, no. It’s basically just stuck.
The wizard takes me to the Step 6 page, which I’ve already filled out (it seems that the company name section isn’t sticking in there but it’s in the settings).
I’ve also rebuilt a handful of times to no avail.
This could obviously be bad practice, and is just a gut feeling, but it might help if you turn on the hidden setting bypass_wizard_check? 
The wizard takes me to the Step 6 page, which I’ve already filled out (it seems that the company name section isn’t sticking in there but it’s in the settings).
That is the company name and domain name right? Are there any special characters or even extra blank space before/after the domain URL?
The setup wizard has been updated recently, so this may be a consequence of that change. As there have been two reports of this now (The wizard does not save the information), I’ve moved this over to Contribute > Bug so we can get it some extra attention. 
Here’s the fix:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/cfd0a04965fc058012b02d40da05384f61f951a7
This issue was because the wizard last step was not saving changes and that is why the banner was not disappearing. Completing the last wizard step (step 6) again should make the banner go away.
Thanks everyone for reporting this issue and helping with debugging!
