How to disable “Welcome to the Block Editor” Option

I Agree with Lewis. This feature is poorly implemented.

The welcome message should be disabled and removed outright if it cannot store in the site’s database which users have dismissed it.

Please fix this annoying popup!

Go in to your browser setting and make sure “Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended)” is checked.

Go in to your browser setting and make sure “Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended)” is checked.

In Firefox, a user can select: Options -> Privacy & Security -> History -> Never remember history. This places the browser in permanent private browsing. It is then not possible to allow a site to store data.

It is not an acceptable solution to expect WordPress users to change their browsing habits to suite WordPress.

This is a poorly implemented popup that should either be removed or the setting stored in the database.

The response in this thread that the setting stored in LocalStorage is less overhead than storing it in the database is the very definition of technical debt.

Users are responding to this poor design decision which now leads to a support ticket being opened and a moderator having to waste time answering the ticket and community support members trying to offer solutions and users having to waste time explaining why this implementation is incorrect.

Just fix the problem please.

+1. This is a total PITA and the editing view keeps flipping back to full screen mode as well. Please, please, fix this.

All answers are incorrect answers that are different from the questioner’s inquiry.

I need a way to disable “Welcome to the Block Editor Guide”.
I’m also looking for this method, but I haven’t found it yet.

I can’t find a way to disable it now… and I have to choose between the following methods.
1. Use the classic editor plugin.
2. Give up WordPress automatic update and find the relevant code in edit-post.min.js file and delete it.

“Welcome to the Block Editor Guide” really creates stress
This is not translated.
Because of the translation, if you edit the text in the edit-post.min.js code, the post creation page error.

I wonder who forced this to be used.

With respect to the original question, once dismissed, the Welcome To The Block Editor splash should go away permanently.

How do you stop the editor re-setting to full screen mode every time you log in?

@tssblog, If you need support then per the forum guidelines please start your own topic.

A lot more people will see your post, and that way you stand a good chance of getting the assistance you want. Despite any similarity in symptoms, your issue is likely to be completely different because of possible differences in physical servers, accounts, hosts, plugins, theme, configurations, etc. Thus one problem, on one setup is not indicative of the functionality and reliability of an application as a whole: https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#i-have-the-same-problem-can-i-just-reply-to-someone-elses-post-with-me-too

I’ll be archiving your post and mine to not spam the original poster and detract from their question.

Thanks.

As this topic has now wandered far afield, I’m closing it.
