General Settings
Site Title: Do not forget to set the Title of the Site, as this will be indexed in Search Engines
Tagline: Do not forget to set the Tagline of the Site, as this will be indexed in Search Engines
Email Address: This is the email address miscellaneous admin notifications will be sent to. We typically use a fake email address for this to avoid getting our inboxes filled with unimportant notifications, and it is advised not to put the client’s email address in this field. You may fill it with your own if you feel responsible for these notifications.
Reading Settings
Front page displays: We typically set this to an actual Page called Home, then use Divi Builder to design that page.
Search Engine Visibility (IMPORTANT): This should always be checked when the site is in development, but make sure to uncheck it when the site goes live or Search Engines will not index the site.
Discussion Settings
Default article settings: You may choose to enable Pingbacks & Trackbacks & Comments if you understand why you’re doing so. They are disabled by default because most clients don’t utilize the Blog functionality of WordPress.
Permalink Settings
WordPress’s URL structure (Posts, Pages, Products, etc) can be configured to some degree by modifying the Permalink Settings. We typically set the Common Settings to Post Name as a good default.
