Just arrived and where is the "General Settings" or whatever it called?

[Hector Nguyen]

Hello fellers,

I've just arrived to this adorable and beautiful CMF. I tried to find a section which contains all general settings like admin themes, site name, site timezone..etc.. for 15 minutes.

Could anyone else here please tell me how could I find it? And is there any resources like ebooks, video I need to dig-in?

Thanks.

There is nothing like that in ProcessWire's backend. Almost everything is stored in pages and if you need such a section just create a template and a (hidden) page (e.g. named settings) and use it. Another option is to extend the $config variable (site/config.php) with custom properties. There's also a module, which allows you to change those properties in the backend, but it's not as flexible in terms of UI as a page with custom fields would be.
