How to change your site's name and description

When you create a classifieds website with Yclas, you can change your site's name and description very easily.

Both terms are pretty straight forward and self-explanatory.

The site name carries the identity of your whole website and it is complimented by the description, which details your website’s purpose.

Whenever you are editing these fields, make sure to:

  • Check that the site name is the correct title of your website – this will be publicly displayed online.
  • Check that your description matches your website’s content and purpose.
  • Take care and avoid grammatical errors, misleading/irrelevant input, plagiarism, etc.
  • Keep the length of the description field under the max (indicated by the tool tip – 160 characters).
  • Add a few keywords in the description – this could affect your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) analytics.

How to change them step-by-step:

  1. Login to the Admin Panel.
  2. Select Settings -> General.
  3. Enter the site name into the input box labeled Site Name.
  4. Enter the description into the input box labeled site description.
  5. Click the Save button.

The change is successful – general configuration updated.

Although the site's name and description are important elements in your website content, remember that you can always add more content to your site with the following tools 🛠️.

We recommend these tools but there's plenty of other options.
