Changing the Site Title/Name


1. Once you've logged into the modx manager, on the left hand side you'll see a document tree. At the very top of it is the default Site Title ("My MODx Site") and that is what we are going to change.


Login to modX manager

2. The first line of navigation (in blue) has a link called "Administration", click it.


Choose Administration

3. The second line of navigation (in orange) now displays links for "Administration", locate "System configuration" and click it.


Click System configuration

4. Over on the right hand side under the tab link called "Site Settings" is the field called "Site Name" - click inside the field and change the text, in this example the text is changed to "modXhost".


Type in new Site name

5. Locate the link for "Save" and click it.


Click Save

6. The browser will take a moment to refresh. At the left hand side in the document tree, you'll see that we've successfully changed the site title, which now reads "modXhost".


Document tree updated

Here is the code used in the markup(html) that displays the site name in your web page. It is located in the default template.
