Settings>Location

Permalink
According to the documentation for 5.7, Location is supposed to be listed under Settings for In-Context Editing. However, on my site omschurch.org/newsite/concrete/index.php?cID=1; only Design and SEO are listed. From what I understand, I need Location in order to set my site so that if someone types in omschurch.org in the address bar, it will redirect to the full URL.

This is my first Concrete5 site. Clearly, I still have a lot to learn so if someone can direct me to instructions for completing this task, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

tafloyd

I do not believe you have this option on the Home page.

From c5.7 docs (read the exception):

Choose Location - Just like your computer's folder system, concrete5 manages your site with a tree where every page lives below another page (except for home which is the root of your tree). Clicking Choose Location lets you change the parent page of this current page we're editing.

Thanks for your reply.

I did read that but it was the only place I found that said anything about how to do a redirect. I was looking at the image which had the location option and it didn't register that it didn't work that way on the home page. I will keep searching. Our website users only know how to find us by omschurch.com.

I have to find a way to get them to the site without the need for the rest of the URL, it is in all sorts of printed materials and even on our sign. A site is not of much use if people can't locate it.

Hi,

I do not think this is a concrete5 issue. It seem that you have not placed your concrete5 site at the root on you server. All files is placed under (/newsite/concrete/). It should have been placed in the root of your site (/).
What you see on omschurch.org is the hosting services default page and it should have been overwritten by your concrete5 installation!

If you read carefully on that page it says:
