I run QGIS 3.18.1 on Ubuntu 20.04, I miss the newsfeed on the welcome page:

enter image description here

Newsfeed is activated in the settings:

I was able to solve the missing Recent Projects according to the answer on this issue: QGIS 3.10 Recent Projects List missing but I was not able to access the newsfeed the same way. Any hints?

  • For sure on-topic. Why else otherwise is this not deleted for the same reason then ????? https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/342903/qgis-3-10-recent-projects-list-missing – Jochen Schwarze Apr 20 '21 at 09:04
  • Questions that relate to the business of vendors and product teams, such as licensing, pricing, release dates, submission of bug reports and enhancement requests, etc, are off-topic here and should be directed instead to the official software support teams. – Ian Turton Apr 20 '21 at 09:26

    And could you please clarify why exactly you think that this is the case here and not here: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/342903/qgis-3-10-recent-projects-list-missing ? It's simply a question about program settings and does REALLY NOT relate to business of vendors and product teams by means of GISSE ruels! – Jochen Schwarze Apr 20 '21 at 09:31
  • @JochenSchwarze this question was deleted before being undeleted 3 seconds later, suggesting a deletion in error. It was closed by the vote of a moderator and then re-opened by votes from the community. If you seek clarification of why a particular question was closed then that is better asked in a Q&A at [meta.gis.se] rather than in a comment on the Main site. – PolyGeo Apr 20 '21 at 23:22

You can modify the QGIS options settings as :

  1. Go to the QGIS menu Settings > options > Advanced tab
  2. Promise to be careful
  3. In the settings tree, go to core > NewsFeed > httpsfeedqgisorg > lastFetchTime
  4. Edit the value and set it at 0
  5. Restart QGIS.

from qgis.core import QgsSettings

qgis_settings = QgsSettings()
qgis_settings.beginGroup("/core/NewsFeed/httpsfeedqgisorg")
qgis_settings.setValue("lastFetchTime", 0)
