WP Settings

The WP Settings page lets you change common WordPress options without opening wp-admin. Open your site → WP Settings, edit any fields, and click Save Settings — only the fields you changed are applied.

General

• Site Title and Tagline — your site's name and one-line description.
• Timezone — e.g. Europe/Berlin or UTC.
• Site Language — e.g. en_US.
• WordPress Address and Site Address are shown for reference and are read-only here (they follow your connected domain).

Date & Time

• Date Format (e.g. F j, Y) and Time Format (e.g. g:i a).
• Week Starts On — the first day of the week.

Permalinks

Choose your URL structure: Plain, Day and name, Month and name, Numeric, Post name, or a Custom Structure (e.g. /%postname%/). Post name is the common, SEO-friendly choice.

Membership

• Anyone Can Register — let visitors create accounts.
• New User Default Role — the role new registrations get (subscriber, contributor, author, editor, or administrator).

Discussion & Reading

• Default Comment Status / Default Ping Status — whether new posts allow comments/pingbacks (Open or Closed).
• Posts Per Page — how many posts show on blog/archive pages.

Advanced configuration

Two switches at the bottom of the page:

• Maintenance Mode — show a maintenance page to visitors. See Maintenance Mode.
• Auto-update WordPress core — automatically apply minor and security releases (on by default).
