New Members Welcome Message

    Does anyone know the best way to have a welcome message within Buddypress profile message box when a member creates a new account. I would like to have a nice little paragraph or two welcoming them to the site as well as maybe even having an embedded video message.

    It be even better if in addition to this from time to time I could send messages to all members so they see in their profile message box.

    Thanks,

    This is already built in. For ex. you can:
    User menu (below Howdy) > Messages > Compose and check This is a notice to all users.

    If you want to show a welcome message/video, you can do this on the register page, but this would be seen before activation.
    To show such a thing once a user logged in for the FIRST time, it is a bit more difficult, meaning you don’t know where a first timer access to your site.

    Technically possible, but the scenario in this case is more complex and needs some reflexion to get it to work. And good knowledge of PHP. Do you have it ?

    There was a plugin for that in the past, but i don’t know if it is already working. And it is no more maintained. Download from here if you want to test.

    Thanks for the feedback. No I am not a programmer. Do you know if I needed to have that plugin updated how expensive it will be. I am going to see if I can also Google now that I know what they are calling this if someone else may have one similar.
