This small modification will allow you to either center or removed vBulletin's small default forum title & welcome message.

Credit goes to myself & CoreyLTH

You should always BACKUP your database before making changes.


To Center:


In ForumHome look for

PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle"
<
h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<
p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</
div
Replace with:

PHP Code:
<center> <div id="pagetitle"
        <
h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1
        <
p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p
    </
div> </center
To Remove:


In FORUMHOME

Look for:

PHP Code:
<div id="pagetitle"
<
h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<
p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</
div
And wrap it around wih

PHP Code:
<vb:comment>  </vb:comment
So when done it will look like

PHP Code:
<vb:comment> <div id="pagetitle"
<
h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<
p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</
div>  </vb:comment

v1.1 = UPDATE 02-23-2011

IMPORTANT: Always backup your database before making any edits.

In navbar look for:

PHP Code:
<ul class="floatcontainer">
        <
li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li>

        {
vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb}
        {
vb:raw navbits.lastelement}
    </
ul
READ CLOSELY:

Wrap everything around it with

PHP Code:
<vb:comment> </vb:comment
except for

PHP Code:
{vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb
So the surrounding code will look like this when done....

PHP Code:
<vb:comment> <ul class="floatcontainer">
        <
li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li> </vb:comment>

        {
vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb}
        <
vb:comment> {vb:raw navbits.lastelement}
    </
ul> </vb:comment
This will remove the "Home" icon and the word "Forum" on your Forum Homepage, but still keep your quick navigation links within your forums.

Optional - Grammar correction

This really will depend on your own liking and the name of your site. Bit if you want to change the welcome message from,

"Welcome to the X"

And change it to

"Welcome to X"

Go to:

AdminCP > Languages & Phrases > Search in Phrases

Search for

PHP Code:
welcome_to_the_x 
Using the Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name search, option.

There should only find 1 per language installed

Change it to

PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Welcome to {1

If you're tired of vBulletin you should upgrade to Woltlab Burning Board http://www.woltlab.com

Odd that the change to delete the house and forum worked but removing the Welcome box does not.
I'm sorry to hear this. Sadly, I do not think I can help you further since this does work on every other theme I have tried.

It is either something about the custom work done with that paid theme or another modification.

I lol`d

The highlighted part you're looking to remove seems to be an notice. This modification doesn't remove those. I was going crazy wondering why you were having such a hard time.

Good to know you have it all working for you now

FYI: To change, edit, add or remove an notice. Which you seem to be looking to do... vBulletin already has a built in setting for this.

AdminCP > Notice > Notice Manager OR Add New Notice (depending on what you want to do)

You can't without removing your breadcrumb which would affect the rest of your site.

However, if you really, really, want to try that ........

I don't advise this, but since you asked...

Ignore the steps in my 1.1 update and when you find this

PHP Code:
<ul class="floatcontainer"
        <
li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li

        {
vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb
        {
vb:raw navbits.lastelement
Wrap the whole thing around with this

PHP Code:
<vb:comment> </vb:comment
When done it will look like this

PHP Code:
<vb:comment> <ul class="floatcontainer"
        <
li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li

        {
vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb
        {
vb:raw navbits.lastelement} </vb:comment
Remember, you do this on your own risk. I suggest you backup 1st.

You're welcome. Please remember to mark installed.

FYI: Some people report removing your breadcrumbs can affect your SEO rating. Just so you know.

Either way, glad I could help

See screen shot

This modification allows you to either center or remove the standard Forum Title & Welcome Message. It also explains how you can fix the grammar of that notice, if required & desired. Currently, there is no vBulletin option to do this.


A notice can be managed through your Administrator Control Panel. This modification has nothing to do with them. But you can learn more about them by following this link to The vBulletin User Manual = https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/notices
