General Settings

The General Settings page provides basic configuration options for your WordPress site. Here you can define fundamental aspects of your website, including its identity, language, and time-related settings.

Site Title & Tagline

 

  • Site Title: Enter the name of your church or organization. This appears in browser tabs, search results, and may be displayed in your theme's header.

  • Tagline: A brief description or slogan that explains your ministry's purpose. For example: "Sharing God's love in our community since 1975."

Site Icon

Site Icon: Upload a square image (at least 512×512 pixels) to represent your site as a favicon. This small icon appears in browser tabs, bookmark lists, and when visitors add your site to their device home screens. Ideally, use a simplified version of your logo that remains recognizable at small sizes.

Site Address & WordPress Address

 

  • WordPress Address (URL): The location of your WordPress core files. Usually, this should not be changed unless you're moving your site.

  • Site Address (URL): The address visitors use to access your site. Generally matches the WordPress Address but can differ in some configurations.
