Description

The Block editor welcome screen always appears when log-in in even long time after first use. This should not happen at all after first use. The welcome screen seems to be set by a cookie in the browser, rather than by a setting in the WordPress it self.

Hiya,

You're correct that the users preferences are stored in local storage, and not in the database at this time.

There is a ticket for addressing this in the block-editor repository on GitHub, ticket 15105.

Until that is implemented, there are plugins that can solve this issue for you for now, for example Persistent block editor settings.

As this issue already has an associated ticket within the block-editor repository, I'm marking this one as closed, to avoid overlap, any further comments should ideally be posted in that ticket so that we can keep it all collected in one place.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
