The content isn’t alterable currently. Chances are you just want to end up with a dashboard widget or something. The Welcome panel is for welcoming brand-new users to a stock install of WordPress to have no other guidance — you will be providing guidance to your client.
Can I jump into this discussion and ask if there is a way to automatically disable the New Install Welcome Box for new sites in a multisite install?
I suppose it should be update_usermeta($user_id, ‘show_welcome_panel’, 0); but this does only seem to work on the primary site so I tried this but without any luck:
$user_blogs = get_blogs_of_user($user_id);
foreach ($user_blogs as $blog) {
switch_to_blog($blog->userblog_id);
update_usermeta($user_id, 'show_welcome_panel', 0);
restore_current_blog();
}
Edit: should say that the above code is run on add_action(‘user_register’, “my_custom_user_settings”);
