Site Information
The "Site Information" item in the Settings menu is where you manage your business information and other general settings, such as layout configurations, navigation options and social networks.
From here you also clean the cache of the entire site.
CACHE CLEANING
SevenDaysWeb utilizes cache to speed up the presentation of the website pages, by publishing them from a memory buffer instead of rebuilding them each time.
To better understand what it is and how it works, read this insight.
The "Clean Cache" button on the top toolbar, cleans the cache of the entire website and eliminates the pages stored up to that point, forcing the server to rebuild them.
Cleaning the cache is a periodic maintenance operation which is useful to restore your website. It is advisable to perform it after making a lot of changes, especially deleting and re-adding contents and categories.
PERSONAL AND BUSINESS INFORMATION
Let us now consider the configuration parameters, starting from personal and business information:
| Name | Name of website, organization or professional. Normally displayed on the upper part of the header. |
|---|---|
| Claim | It 's the corporate motto, displayed on the website below or next to the its name |
| Language | Default website language. Used by search engines to index according to the correct language |
| Logo | The logo is a small graphic image usually displayed at the top-center or top-left of the header. Not all models support the display of the logo. |
| Favicon | Optional, but nice to see. It is a 16x16 pixels image, displayed in the browser to identify the website. |
| Organization | The "Organization" field is where you enter the name of the company, institution or professional owning the website. |
| Address ... VAT Nr ... Phone number | Other data for your organization. Entering the VAT Nr may be required for law compliance. After editing this information, CLEAN the website cache (top button). |
| Service Email | Email address for the notification of communications from SevenDaysWeb (eg notification of new users / customers registration) |
| Website | Organization's main website address. Used if the website you are building is not the main one for your organization. |

| Google Analytics | Google Tracking ID (e.g. UA-12345678-9). Used by Google to track website traffic and produce statistics. |
LAYOUT
Layout settings allow you to control the overall look and feel of the website. Not all the settings, however, are handled by all templates. Color themes for example are handled by all templates, but, for some, background and fonts are preset by default and cannot be changed.
| Theme Variants | The theme is a predefined color combination for the various parts of the website: borders, backgrounds, titles, text, buttons, etc. ... All graphics, except from user-entered images are displayed according to the color theme. The theme includes background and font configuration, but these settings can be overridden by the user. |
|---|---|
| Background Type | Depending on layout, the website background is displayed behind the home page items or on the home page. In section pages it is always behind, to avoid confusion with contents. Possible values ??are:
|
| Background image | Select the appropriate image according to the type of background (pattern or full screen). |
| Header font | Font used for header and category and paragraph titles. |
| Content body font | Font used for paragraph text. |
| Blockquote font | Font used to highlight words or sentences within text. It is usually a "fixed width" font. |

| Confirm registration | If selected, new customers who register on the website are disabled from password-protected sections. Manual authorization by the website administration is required. Requires the user registration service to be enabled for the website. |
