GovCMS provides some basic configuration options to the site theme. For example, you may change the site logo, favicon, and control additional options.
To update theme settings, go to Appearance and click the Settings link next to the currently used theme.
Custom themes may provide a more advanced set of settings than those found in base themes.
Customising error messages is often overlooked, but it’s easy to tailor this experience for your website. See: https://salsadigital.com.au/somepage as an example.
In this exercise you’ll create a custom error message/page. The page could be a graphic, or a useful message.
Create basic Standard pages with an appropriate message for each situation (e.g. http://example.com/notfound and http://example.com/accessdenied)
Go to Configuration → System → Basic site settings.
Type in the paths in the bottom section on Error pages.
Save configuration.
The GovCMS default layout includes a logo in the header of your site. In this exercise, we’ll change this logo. If you have a logo on your computer you can use that one. If not, find a sample logo on the internet that you can use for this exercise.
Go to Appearance and click the Settings link next to the “Olivero” theme.
Unselect the “Use the logo supplied by the theme” checkbox, then use the Upload logo image button to upload the new logo.
Click Save configuration.
Now check what the logo looks like on the site. You can also go back to the theme configuration page to adjust the logo’s pixel width (the height will adjust correspondingly).
