Connecting the GrandCMS administration

Administration of GrandCMS side of the site is where you can modify features, upload images, add information, keep track of users, and much more. Customization in the admin affects how the visitors will interact with a site: by modifying the look, structure, and content of the site front.

Accessing the admin panel

To access the admin panel, type in location of the site into the web browser followed by "/admin". For example, if your site is located at "www.hugesite.com", your admin panel is located at "www.hugesite.com/admin". Even if the site is located in a sub-folder or on a sub-domain of their site, adding "/admin" to the end of the site's path will lead you to the administration side.

If the name of the folder is changed by you during installation, the location of the admin panel is changed to that new name. For example, if the name of the admin folder is changed to admin1, the new location of the admin panel is at "www.hugesite.com/admin1".

A username and password is created in Step 3 of the auto-installer during installation. This information can now be used to fill in the administrator login details. If you don't allow the forgotten password option for the administrators at settings the login screen will be like this:
