In this tutorial you will learn how to change the site name and tagline in SilverStripe.

To make the changes, follow the steps below:

STEP 1 To change the “Your Site Name” and “your site’s tagline here” messages in the header of your site, you should edit the Page.ss file located in your SilverStripe’s directory > themes/<theme_name>/templates.

For example, if you are using the default BlackCandy template, you should edit the file themes/blackcandy/templates/Page.ss.

STEP 2 The two lines in the Page.ss you should edit are:

<h1>Your Site Name</h1>
<p>your site's tagline here</p>

Let’s call our site “My Test Site” and put “my site’s test tagline” for tagline. Thus the above code should be changed to:

<h1>My Test Site</h1>
<p>my site's test tagline</p>

Here’s how our test page would look with the new site name and tagline in the header:
