Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem/Motivation
Prior to the conversion of the node frontpage listing to a view, the "Welcome to Drupal" went away along with the "no content has been created" message once content was created. Now, it does not go away. Setting a view title for the front page also does not override it.
Steps to reproduce
- Install 8.x with the standard profile.
- Visit the front page. It says "Welcome to Drupal" and prompts you to create new content.
- Add an article node.
- Revisit the frontpage. It still says "Welcome to Drupal".
The only way to get rid of it is to edit the frontpage view, go to the page display, expand the "advanced" section, look under "no results behavior," and delete the global title override.

xjmAppears to be a bug with the no results behavior + global title override combo. You can also reproduce this by:
This is a pretty major WTF. Every single site builder is going to run into this bug.

damiankloip commentedWe already have this covered, and RTBC: #1956912: Title area handler sets the title even when it should not (results in "Welcome to Drupal" never going away)
This is a general problem with empty area handlers.

xjmAlright, I spent 30 minutes searching for a duplicate--I'm not even kidding--so we need to fix that issue's keywords. :)
Comment #5
xjmThat said, I'm glad that you replied before I started writing a test for this, since the other is RTBC. ;)
