Remove the Welcome to the Frontpage in Joomla
How to Remove the “Welcome to the Frontpage” Title in Joomla
Hey everyone. Today has been crazy and hectic so I wanted to cover something easy, but it’s a question that gets asked a lot by those who are new to Joomla.
The question is “How do I remove the Welcome to the Frontpage message in Joomla.”
When you first setup Joomla, a lot of the time people will choose the option to have Joomla generate sample content so they have something to mess around with while they learn the program.
This is a good option if you are new because Joomla will create menus, and articles using all the different features available in the program. Because Joomla has generated all the content right from the get go there are some settings that can be hard to find if you are trying to modify existing menus and articles for your site.
The biggest question that people seem to ask when they are changing these pages is “How do I get the rid of the Welcome to the Frontpage message in Joomla”. This is actually pretty easy to do. It is just really hard to locate where this setting is in the program.
In Joomla all menus and articles have different sections where you can set parameters for that item. In this case the title that is being displayed on the main page is actually a parameter that has been set in a sub menu.
To find this setting and change it you need to do the following things:
Click on the “Menus” tab and select the “Home” menu.
Once you are in the Home menu edit screen, you will see some extra options for this menu to the right hand side.
Basic
Advanced
Component
System
Click on the System option and drop down menu will open up. One of the options in here is “Page Title” where you will see “Welcome to the Frontpage!”
Go ahead and change this to whatever you like, for example “Welcome to Pseudorant!”
You will also notice that there is an option to turn these titles off entirely if you do not want them to show up on the pages.
This seems like a really simple thing and it is, they just decided to put this in a really out of the way place in Joomla.
I hope this has helped some people if they are running into this with a new install of Joomla. Thanks for visiting Pseudorant, please check back soon for new articles!
