Configure Your Site

Site-wide settings: branding, SEO defaults, social links, email. The values your frontend reads on every page.

Open Settings

Click Settings at the bottom of the sidebar. You'll see tabbed sections.

Site identity

The Site tab covers everything that says "this is who we are."

Site name Appears in tab titles, OG previews, default email From name.
Tagline Short pitch for hero sections and meta descriptions.
Logo Click Choose file and pick from media. SVG works best; otherwise use a transparent PNG at 2× the largest display size.
Favicon 32×32 PNG or ICO. The small icon shown in browser tabs.
Default locale The language entries are created in when no locale is specified.
Save

SEO defaults

Reasonable defaults so editors don't have to remember to fill SEO on every entry.

Default meta title pattern — e.g. {entry_title} — Your Brand. {entry_title} is replaced per entry.
Default meta description — used when an entry doesn't override it.
Default OG image — fallback social card image.
Robots — index, noindex, etc. Default is index for live sites.

Settings SEO tab with title format, default meta description, and default Open Graph image — SEO defaults.

Social links

The URLs your frontend's footer / share buttons read. Just paste your full profile URLs:

Twitter / X
LinkedIn
Instagram
YouTube
GitHub
Custom (any extra link)

Email (SMTP)

Required for password resets, form notifications, webhook alerts. Settings vary by provider — your developer or IT will usually fill this in once.

Host / Port — from your provider.
Username / Password — SMTP credentials.
Encryption — TLS or SSL.
From address / From name — what recipients see.

Settings Email tab with mail driver selector and SMTP configuration fields — SMTP configuration on the Email tab.

Always test emailAfter saving SMTP, click Send test email. If it doesn't arrive, double-check the port (587 for TLS, 465 for SSL) and that your provider allows the From address.

Media defaults

Max upload size — capped by your hosting too; 50 MB is a reasonable default.
Allowed types — comma-separated list of MIME globs (e.g. image/*, video/mp4, application/pdf).
Image quality — JPEG compression for auto-generated derivatives (default 80%).
Max width — derivatives wider than this get downscaled.

Integrations

Google Analytics / Plausible ID — pasted in your frontend by the developer.
reCAPTCHA secret — for spam-protected forms.
Sentry DSN — error tracking.
Custom code — head / body snippets (cookie banners, chat widgets) the frontend can read from the public settings endpoint.

Translatable settings

Some settings (site name, tagline, default meta title) can be translated per language. When you turn on a non-default language, those fields gain a small flag icon — click it to provide the translation.

General settings with translatable fields like Site name and Tagline that gain locale tabs when extra languages are active — Translatable fields (Site name, Tagline) show per-locale tabs once you add languages.

What gets exposed publicly?

A safe subset of settings (site name, logo, favicon, social links, default SEO) is exposed via the public API at /api/v1/settings. Secrets — SMTP passwords, reCAPTCHA secrets, Sentry DSN — are never exposed.
