Simple Modifications

Masacote is seeking help with two issues on their Discourse installation.

  1. Editing the Welcome Message: The welcome message at the top of the page can be edited by navigating to Settings -> Customize -> Components -> discourse-search-banner and changing the headline and subhead text in the ‘Theme Translations’ section.
  2. Switching Default Theme Mode: To change the default theme mode from Dark to Light, keegan suggests two approaches:
    • For individual users: Go to Profile Icon -> User icon -> Preferences -> Interface and switch the theme to ‘Light’.
    • For all users: Navigate to Hamburger Icon -> Admin Settings -> Customize and change the default theme from Dark to Light. Note that automatic dark mode switching may be enabled, which depends on the computer’s selected theme.

Hello everyone, everything good ?

I just did an installation of discourse and I have two rather simple situations

1- How do I edit the welcome message at the Top of Discouse

2- My forum starts automatically in DARK mode, how do I start it in primary LIGHT mode and secondary DARK mode.
for the moment I had to disable dak mode as it ended up being the main one.

Thanks for the answer from anyone who can help :slight_smile:

It looks like you have the Search banner theme component installed. To change the headline and subhead text navigate to:

Hamburger Icon (top right) -> Settings -> Customize -> Components -> discourse-search-banner

Below the theme settings there should be two input fields underneath ‘Theme Translations’, which you can enter both the heading and subheading there.

If you want to change it only for your specific user:
Navigate to:

  1. Profile Icon (top right)
  2. User icon
  3. Preferences
  4. Interface
  5. Switch Theme to ‘Light’

If you want to change it for all users:

  1. Hamburger Icon
  2. Admin Settings
  3. Customize
  4. Change theme from Light to Dark (select Theme is enabled by default)

Note, you may have automatic dark mode switching enabled, in which it will depend on your computer’s selected theme.
