Configuring General Settings
Before building out your site further, it's important to adjust a few core settings that affect your site’s identity and behavior. These settings are found in Settings → General in the WordPress dashboard.
Your site title is the name of your website and is often displayed in the browser tab and search engine results. The tagline is a short description or slogan that helps explain what your website is about.
To update your title and tagline:
- Go to Settings → General;
- In the Site Title field, enter the name of your website;
- In the Tagline field, enter a brief description.
These fields can be edited at any time and may also be changed from the WordPress Customizer.
The admin email address is used by WordPress to send important notifications—such as security alerts, comment approvals, and password reset links.
If you installed WordPress automatically through your hosting provider (like HostGator), a default admin email address may have been set during installation.
It’s recommended that you update this field to use your own email address. This will ensure that you can receive account-related notifications and recover your password if needed.
To update it:
- Replace the existing email with your preferred email address;
- Save the changes;
- You may be asked to confirm the new address through a verification email.
WordPress supports many different languages and regional formats. If you used an automatic installation, your site may be set to a default language and timezone.
You should:
- Set the site language to your preferred language;
- Adjust the timezone to match your local time;
- Choose the date and time format you’d like to see across your site.
These settings help ensure your site functions correctly and displays content consistently.
To make these changes:
- Go to Settings → General in the WordPress dashboard;
- Scroll down to the Site Language, Timezone, and Date Format sections;
- Make your selections, then click Save Changes.
