General Settings ​

Introduction ​

General Settings configure fundamental system-wide preferences including homepage behavior and admin panel access path.

Access General Settings from Administration → System Settings → General.

WARNING

These settings affect all brands and the entire installation. Changes apply globally.

Homepage Redirect ​

Configure where visitors are redirected when accessing the base domain.

Homepage Redirect
URL or path for base domain redirection.

  • Prefix: https://
  • Placeholder: example.com or example.com/custom-page
  • Accepts full domain or path

Where it applies:
When someone visits your base domain (e.g., https://yourdomain.com), they redirect to this URL.

Examples:

  • example.com — Redirect to another domain
  • example.com/welcome — Redirect to specific page
  • example.com/brand/checkout — Redirect to brand checkout

TIP

Use a valid domain or path. This helps when you want your base domain to redirect to a specific landing page, brand, or external site.

Admin Path ​

Customize the URL path for accessing the admin panel.

Admin Path
Custom URL segment for admin access.

  • Prefix: https://selfhosted.test/
  • Placeholder: admin
  • Lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes only

Format requirements:

  • Lowercase only
  • No spaces
  • Use dashes for separation
  • Examples: admin, console, back-office

Default: admin

Access URL:
https://yourdomain.com/{admin-path}

Examples:

  • admin → https://yourdomain.com/admin
  • console → https://yourdomain.com/console
  • back-office → https://yourdomain.com/back-office

WARNING

Changing the admin path immediately updates the admin panel URL. Bookmark the new URL or you may lose access. The old path will no longer work.

Saving Changes ​

After configuring settings:

  1. Review both Homepage Redirect and Admin Path
  2. Click Save changes
  3. Changes apply immediately

After changing Admin Path:

  • Update any bookmarks
  • Notify your team of the new URL
  • Test access at the new path

TIP

Security: Changing the admin path from the default admin to a custom value adds a layer of obscurity, making it harder for automated attacks to find your login page.
