How to set up your new website
Step 1: Access your admin panel located at yourdomain.com/admin. Log in using your username and password.
Step 2: Click on the "Settings" tab at the top. You will be presented with the following fields / options:
- Site Name: Enter the name of your website here.
- Site URL: The URL of your website will already be filled in for you. If you ever need to change your domain name, use the contact us link.
- Theme Color: Select a color for your website. The current options are: Red, Blue, Green, Dark Grey & Blue, and Silver. If you'd like to customize these colors further, see our services section.
- Use Custom Logo?: You can use a custom logo for your website or a text title. If you'd like to use your own logo, select "Yes, use my uploaded logo." If you'd prefer not to use a custom logo, select "No, use text instead." Your "site name" entered in step 1 will be used in place of a logo.
- Upload Logo: If you selected "Yes" in the above step, click on the link to upload your logo.
- Logo Filename: Enter the filename of the logo you uploaded in this box. You can upload multiple logos and switch between them at any time by entering a different filename in this box.
- Homepage Promoted Videos Order: This controls how the 6 "promoted" videos are sorted on your homepage. Options include Most Recent, Most Viewed, and Random.
- Homepage Featured Videos Order: This controls how the 10 "featured" videos are sorted on your homepage.
- Video Page Featured Videos Order: This controls how the 6 "featured" videos are sorted on the video page. These are the thumbnails located to the right of a video that is currently playing.
- Video Page Other Videos Order: This controls how the 6 "other" videos are sorted on the video page. These are the thumbnails located to the right of a video below the "featured" videos.
- Categories Default Order: This controls the default sorting option for all categories. When a user clicks on a category from the left-side navigation all videos will be sorted by this selection automatically.
Note for advanced users: The easiest way to make your own logo is to use our blank templates. These JPG files already contain the background gradient to match the header of your website and are the exact size recommended for use with MyPlayer. Just download the blank template for your color theme, put your logo on top of it using any photo editing program, and save the file as a new JPG.
