The General settings page is where you set the foundational identity of your site. The details you enter here appear in the browser tab, throughout the admin UI, in outgoing emails, and at the bottom of every page — so it’s worth getting them right before you start publishing content.Documentation Index

Updating your settings
Edit the fields
Update any combination of Site name, Site description, Footer text, Company name, and Company address as needed.
Site name
Your site name is used in more places than it might seem. Wherever KrateCMS needs to reference your site — in the browser tab, in the header of notification emails, and in the admin dashboard heading — it pulls from this field. Keep it concise and recognizable.If you rename your site, the new name appears immediately in the admin UI and in all emails sent after the change. Previously sent emails are not affected.
Timezone
The site timezone is set at the platform level via theAPP_TIMEZONE environment variable (default: America/Los_Angeles) and is not exposed as a UI field in General settings. All publish dates and admin timestamps are displayed in that timezone.
If you need to change the timezone for your site, contact your platform administrator. The setting is environment-locked because changing it affects every tenant on the platform.
