Sites

The sites dashboard

The Sites page is home base. Every site your team hosts with us shows up here, and most of your day-to-day work starts from this list.

What each column tells you

  • Site Name is the name you chose when you created the site. You can change it any time in the site's settings.
  • Platform shows whether the site runs Omeka Classic or Omeka S, with a little icon so you can tell them apart at a glance.
  • Version is the platform version currently installed. If a newer version is available, you will see an amber Update Available badge next to it. Clicking the badge takes you straight to that site's Version tab, where upgrading is covered in Upgrading your platform.
  • File Storage and Database Storage show how much space the site is using, in familiar units like MB and GB. These figures refresh once a day, so they can lag a little behind reality.

Finding the site you want

If your list is getting long, the search box at the top matches against the site name, platform, and version. You can also filter the list by Circle or by Platform, and both filters let you pick more than one option at a time.

Circles are a light way to group related sites together. If you have not used them yet, Organizing sites with Circles explains how they work.

The buttons on each row

Each site in the list has a couple of quick actions:

  • Public Site opens the site your visitors see.
  • Admin Site opens the Omeka login page for that site. Our guide on logging into your site has the details.

These two buttons appear once a site has finished installing, so if a brand new site does not show them yet, give it a few minutes.

There is also a ... menu on each row with a few more actions: uninstalling SSL, creating a backup, and copying the site.

To go deeper on any one site, click its name. That opens the site's own page, where the Settings tab and everything else lives.
