General site settings
Updated Oct 14, 20264 min read
Available to: Site admins
Plans: All plans
A site’s basic settings are under Websites → Manage → General. At the top are the site status (Site Live) and the View Site, Clear Cache and Save buttons.
Basic information
- Site Name: The name shown to visitors in your site’s header and interface.
- Site Description: The short summary shown in search engines and social media shares.
Language and region
- Site Language: The page language (reported to search engines). Fixed interface texts on the site (“Home”, “All”, “Comments”…) are shown in this language; your stories stay in the language you write them in.
- Time Zone: Publish dates and times are shown in this time zone (e.g. Istanbul UTC+3).
Social media accounts
Choose a platform (Website, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Bluesky…), enter the address and click Add. The accounts you add appear with their icons wherever you place the Social Media Icons block in the design editor (header and footer).
Tip
Sharing your posts automatically on social media is a different feature: social media sharing.
Site icon (favicon)
The icon shown in browser tabs, bookmarks and on mobile devices. Pick one from the library with Change from library or upload it with Upload from device. It should be square and at least 512×512 pixels.
Site mode
| Mode | What visitors see |
|---|---|
| Live | The site is open to everyone; all content is shown normally. |
| Maintenance | A maintenance screen is shown while you update the platform or content. |
| Coming soon / Countdown | Before launch, visitors see a launch countdown and an information message. |
Head and footer code
Paste code such as Google Analytics, a verification tag or a chat widget here. Head code is added to the top of the page and footer code to the very bottom; each can be up to 20,000 characters. Leave these fields empty if you’re not sure what you’re doing.
Don’t forget to click Save Changes at the bottom after making changes.
Tip
If a change doesn’t show on the site right away, use Clear Cache at the top.
