Settings Page

When logged in as an administrator, open the Account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Admin. The admin sidebar groups settings for appearance, community, security, operations and extensions.

Brand settings

Here you can change your community's name, this controls a few aspects of the site:

• The browser tab title
• If the site is installed as a Progress Web App (PWA) it will be the name of the app
• The heading in the navigation

The Icon section allows you to upload a custom logo which is used in:

• The favicon
• The PWA app icon used on device home screen, taskbar and dock
• The social share image for when the index page is shared

The description is used in the meta description tag for SEO and social share embeds.

You can read more about how these impact SEO here.

Use Appearance → Custom theme for installation-wide CSS and JavaScript. See Custom themes for the supported styling hooks.

Interface and layout

Appearance → Interface controls the default editor and how member signatures are displayed.

To arrange the home feed and navigation, return to the community and choose Edit site in the sidebar. Use the block handles to configure the feed, and the navigation controls to move or add sidebar items.

API

You can configure anything you see on the admin page via the API programmatically. This is useful if you want to set up a new site with a script or change settings based on schedules or other events.

Client IP and SSR

Client IP mode, trusted CIDRs and related settings on this page affect how Storyden resolves client IPs for API request context.

If you use the official Storyden Next.js frontend with SSR, Storyden forwards only X-Forwarded-For from the SSR request back to the API, and the backend applies the same client-IP mode logic to both browser and SSR API calls.

See SSR Client IP Forwarding for deployment guidance and when each layer should be configured.
