No Ovidiu,
I have already updated this part of the first post information. I am looking for the place that I can change the title of the first post from "Hello World" to what I would rather have it say.
Anyone know which file I will need to edit to change this?
thanks for any help.
Andrew,
I am still having a bit of a problem getting this to work.
I changed line 133 where the mention is "Hello World" to what I want it to say in wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php and it is not working. Is there another location I should be changing as well for this to work right?
Thanks Andrew.
I am aware of the options edit in admin, did that.
line in upgrade.php not working for me. not sure if I am in the wrong place. I find hello world and change it line 133, no results.
thanks drmike,
I will have a look.
Yes I am aware it will not change the title's to already existing blogs. I am testing by creating new test blog and it is not working with edits I have done so far.
...but these instructions no longer work as the files to edit no longer exist.
Anyone know how to change the title of the default post from hello world to something else?
Indeed you are right. !!!!
By now there is a "smarter" way of doing this. Not only this but much more as well.

Site Admin => Options => First post, is that what you are looking for?

Hiya,
That bit of code should be in wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php
Thanks,

Hiya,
You need to edit the post content via the Site Options page. The post title can be adjusted via the line in upgrade.php.
Thanks,

I'm not in a position to check this but I see it assigned here:
/wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php
'post_title' => __('Hello world!'),and
'post_name' => __('hello-world'),Currently lines 1450 and 1452 in the trunk.
You do realize that this isn;t going to change current blogs, just newly created ones, right? Just want to make sure.

Ah, it's being set via the blog defaults functions now. The lines drmike mentioned should work just fine.
Thanks,

I'd like to do this too, but these instructions no longer work as the files to edit no longer exist.
Anyone know how to change the title of the default post from hello world to something else?
