Hi,

Is there a way that we can disable the logo's link to home page?  
Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,

You will need to modify the code for that.  
Also am curious as to why would you like to disable the homepage?

Cheers,

Couldn't find the place to change the code.  
We have redirect the user to a default dashboard, but don't want them to click the logo to go back to the default homepage, from where they can add sample data... etc.

Kevin,

You can comment out the href in this file [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/ui/public/chrome/directives/global\_nav/global\_nav.html#L13](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/ui/public/chrome/directives/global_nav/global_nav.html#L13) to disable the kibana logo from linking to the home application.

And then delete the files under optimize before restrarting Kibana. This usually gets me 🙂

Thanks,

I changed the global\_nav.html file and it didn't work.

Do you mean the files in this folder, /kiban/src/optimize?

Thanks,
