Hi.

I am finally developing a Backdrop site for my local political party as a replacement for the current Wordpress site, which was hastily set up by someone else for the local elections 1,5 year ago. Now that I dropped TwitterX, I want to start using the website as one of the main channels of communication with our constituency.

As I am setting up a basic site structure, one of the small things that I encountered so far is that don't manage to get rid of the user account menu at the top right corner any page (in the Header Block): it still shows up when I chose "Menu: None" in the Header Block configuration:

Any help on this is welcome.

By the way: it was very easy to set up a Backdrop install at my webhost (Vimexx.nl). They offer the Softaculous Installer, which has an option to install Backdrop and it worked out of the box.

Okay, I figured out how to get rid of the login link: remove it from the Account menu.

Eric,

I see you changing the home page layout in the screenshot and referencing "at the top right corner any page" in the text. Did you also change that setting in the "Default layout"?

Side note: I'll often use the "Copy Blocks" module to set up a region that is shared among many layouts and just needs to be updated in one place.

Hi Laryn,

Thanks for that info. I have now also changed the settings for the Header Block in the Default layout.

But the user account menu still shows up, both on the Home page and on any other page…
