Adjusting The General Settings

Step 1: Navigate to the General Settings page

Settings General Settings

To get to the "General Settings" page, start by clicking "Settings" at the top of the page, then under "Website Settings", you'll find the "General Settings" icon. If you haven't already done so, click it.

Step 2: Complete The Relevant Form Fields

Before we begin on the form, it's worth noting that if you hover your mouse over any of the fields in this form a "tool tip" will appear with instructions, or and example of what to enter. This might be useful if you're not quite sure what to do.

If you have a registered website address already, enter it now.  If you've yet to register a website address, please do this before you enter anything into this field (it's OK to leave it blank for now too). If you have already entered a website address previously and you wish to change it, you'll find that the field is locked. Please contact us and we can help make any adjustments you need.

Next, set the default language, time zone, and preferred phone number format for your your church.

The following several fields are where you can set any social networking websites your church may use (eg. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Instagram). These are not required fields. If your church uses another popular network that we haven't included, please let us know and we can look into adding it for you.

Lastly, if you wish to track the number of visitors to your website (among other things), you can cut and paste your "Google Analytics" tracking code. If you'd like help setting this up, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.

Make sure everything is correct (especially your website address), then click "Update Settings" to submit the form and save your new settings.

Finished

You now have all of your website's most basic settings saved. If you are following our "Getting Started" tutorial series, the next thing you'll want to do is fill in the blanks and placeholders of the website content.
