How to edit ‘Welcome to WordPress’ (index.php) page?

Why would your viewers “log in”? Just curious, I’ve never seen a reason to allow random users to register on a blog before.

I’m curious as well. My ‘blog’ is a sub-directory (non-wordpress index page). Should I just direct them to the ‘blog’ page instead? The site is https://www.goodlookingbrother.com . New to wordpress, How should I handle this particular issue?

Yeah, just direct them to the blog page and turn off user registrations. I mean, if they’re just viewers, they don’t need to login to view the site.

What about the ‘users’ who want to post a ‘comment’? Shouldn’t they register?

I never comment if I have to register on a site. It’s an annoying requirement… although that might be only my personal opinion.

Laughing. Granted. How do I edit the ‘Welcome to WordPress’ page anyway?

By looking at its URL…
example.com/wp-admin/index.php <== that’s the filename

also search for “customizing dashboard” and similar keywords.

Tried that. Can’t see anything that says ‘WordPress development blog’ or ‘Where to buy a ‘wordpress hoodie’. Need to edit those links. Help?

If you’re talking about the various links to WordPress development stuff, then those are in index-extra.php. They’re produced from RSS feeds on the WordPress site.

I really wouldn’t remove them, you need them to keep up with updates and such.

Good point, although I have you wonderful guys at www.ads-software.com and the other wordpress sites for current events and updates. How about if I save the original file and play with the copy? Like to experiment, like most wordpressers. Thanks for your help, guys (and gals)!
