How to change the title of the site

jojo lapraline Posted in Theme Development 5 years ago

There is no search tool in this place, would be great to have one.
I named my site : "TEST" at the installation.
Is there a simple way to change this name. A component to change the settings of the site ?
Or a file to change ?

Thanks for your answers

Quit being unnecessarily abrasive, Z-Man. I suggested editing the locale file because, as I said, it allows you to change other text that is NOT editable from the administrator dashboard. You could have just asked politely, or worked on your own reading comprehension as this was explained in my initial reply.

OMG ! Thank you so much for the replies !
So i went to administrator dashboard ......> choose basics ......> And then it was resolved.
The question is : why didn't i see this before ?
In fact, in the installation process i gave a nam "TEST" and i thought i would change it after the installation....

Anyway, THANKS for the answers.
This kind of facebook in open source is a great job !

@jojo
- jump to your Ossn administrator backend (dashboard)
- choose Site Settings -> Basic
- replace "Test" to whatever new website name you want

@Szsocial and Bansh33
Do you remember being asked to change any locale file during installation in order to give your site a name? I don't think so. Then why do you make such a suggestion?

there is a search box for the forum, it's in the bottom right corner (after you are logged in).

the file you want to edit to change the site title and other text on the main page is locale/ossn.en.php (or whatever file corresponds to the language that your ossn site is using).

Theme is GOBLUE.
I found a php file in LOCALE, but no trace of the name of the site...
I am searching, searching....

Also, could you state what theme you are using?

You should be able to do that in the language file of your theme i think.
