Settings

View Dashboard > Settings

The Settings area is where you control how your Superblog looks, behaves, and integrates with the rest of your stack.

Settings are organized into tabs so you can manage site identity, design, homepage behavior, SEO, multilingual content, scripts, and advanced site controls from one place.

Settings tabs overview

Superblog currently organizes settings into these tabs:

  1. General
  2. Design
  3. Homepage
  4. Menu
  5. SEO
  6. Multilingual
  7. Integrations
  8. Advanced

Several of these areas also deserve deeper documentation pages. This overview page should help users understand what belongs in each tab.

General

The General tab controls your site's core identity.

You can manage things such as:

  • site name
  • short description
  • full description
  • whether the site description is shown
  • main logo
  • favicon
  • footer logo
  • blog interface language

This is the right place for the basic branding and identity of your blog.

Blog interface language

The Blog Interface Language control changes built-in UI labels across your site.

This affects things like:

  • search labels
  • reading time labels
  • common interface text

You can either choose a supported language preset or switch to a custom ISO code and edit the interface strings directly.

This is different from multilingual SEO. Interface language controls your UI text, while multilingual SEO controls language paths and translated content.

Design

The Design tab controls the visual presentation of your site.

You can manage things such as:

  • template selection
  • theme selection
  • color customization
  • fonts
  • post progress bar on scroll

This tab is where you shape the look and feel of your Superblog without touching code.

Homepage

The Homepage tab controls what your visitors see on the front page.

You can manage things such as:

  • homepage header section behavior
  • homepage category filters
  • categories excluded from the homepage
  • homepage search bar visibility
  • posts per page
  • custom HTML homepage uploads

If you want your homepage to work like a custom landing page instead of a normal blog listing, this is the main place to configure it.

Custom HTML homepage

The homepage tab also supports uploading a custom HTML .zip bundle.

This is useful when you want:

  • a custom landing page
  • a pricing or marketing homepage
  • static pages outside the normal blog feed

If the ZIP includes index.html, that file becomes your homepage and the blog listing moves to /posts/1.

If the ZIP does not include index.html, your normal blog homepage stays in place and the uploaded pages are available at their own paths.

The Menu tab controls your navigation and footer structure.

You can manage things such as:

  • header navigation items
  • footer links
  • nested dropdown items
  • CTA-style menu items
  • navigation alignment
  • search bar visibility in the navbar
  • custom header HTML
  • custom footer HTML

This tab starts with standard menu editing, but it also supports more advanced customization for users who need full custom header or footer markup.

Nested navigation and CTA menu items

The menu editor supports more than simple flat navigation.

You can:

  • create nested dropdown items
  • reorder menu entries
  • mark selected items as CTA-style menu items

Nested items are useful for grouped navigation, while CTA menu items are useful for one high-priority action like Sign up or Book a demo.

If the default menu/footer builder is not enough, you can replace the built-in header or footer with custom HTML.

This is an advanced feature and should be used carefully because custom code can affect:

  • responsiveness
  • styling consistency
  • scripts and interactive behavior

Always preview and test custom header/footer markup before relying on it live.

SEO

The SEO tab controls your site-wide SEO defaults and crawl behavior.

You can manage things such as:

  • homepage meta title
  • homepage meta description
  • Open Graph image
  • trailing slash behavior
  • indexing rules for pagination, category, tag, and author pages
  • custom robots.txt
  • llms.txt generation
  • ChatGPT crawler blocking

This tab is for global SEO settings, while post-level SEO controls live inside the editor.

AI-facing SEO controls

The SEO tab also includes newer AI-facing controls:

  • Generate LLMs.txt
  • Do not allow ChatGPT (OpenAI) to crawl

These help you decide how AI tools discover and consume your content.

Multilingual

The Multilingual tab controls language expansion and translation management across your blog.

You can manage things such as:

  • additional site languages
  • enabling or disabling each language
  • translations for UI text
  • menu translations
  • footer translations
  • category translations
  • tag translations
  • author translations
  • lead generation translations

This tab works together with the editor's per-post translation tools.

What can be translated here

From multilingual settings, you can manage translations for more than posts.

This includes:

  • site UI text
  • menus
  • footer content
  • categories
  • tags
  • author profiles
  • lead generation text

Post translations themselves are managed from inside the post editor.

Integrations

The Integrations tab controls analytics, scripts, ads, comments, and custom styling.

You can manage things such as:

  • Google Analytics ID
  • Google AdSense publisher ID
  • ads.txt
  • Disqus shortname
  • site-wide comments
  • body scripts
  • head scripts
  • custom CSS

This is the right place for third-party tooling and site-wide code injections.

If you add a Google Analytics ID, Superblog shows a GDPR-style cookie popup and only loads analytics after user consent.

If you bypass this by pasting analytics code into custom scripts, you are responsible for handling privacy compliance yourself.

Custom scripts and CSS

The Integrations tab supports:

  • body scripts
  • head scripts
  • custom CSS

These are powerful, but they can affect performance and site behavior, so it is best to add them carefully and test after every change.

Comments and monetization settings

This tab also includes site-wide controls for:

  • Disqus
  • comments enablement
  • Google AdSense publisher ID
  • ads.txt

  • dashboard/custom-scripts-analytics-and-cookie-consent

Advanced

The Advanced tab holds lower-level site behavior and utility settings.

You can manage things such as:

  • privacy policy URL
  • hide authors site-wide
  • show or hide table of contents
  • include H3 subheadings in the table of contents
  • hide post dates
  • hide social-sharing icons site-wide
  • logo target URL in some domain setups
  • deploy email notifications
  • redirects
  • your fixed Superblog address

This tab is where you usually find site-wide behavior controls that do not fit cleanly into the other tabs.

Redirects

The Advanced tab includes manual redirect management.

This is useful for:

  • changed slugs
  • old URLs after migrations
  • cleanup after restructuring content

Superblog uses 301 redirects here.

Table of contents and display behavior

The Advanced tab also controls site-wide content display behavior such as:

  • whether the table of contents is shown globally
  • whether H3 subheadings appear in the table of contents
  • whether post dates are hidden
  • whether author names are hidden
  • whether sharing icons are hidden globally

Deploy notifications and logo target URL

You can also configure:

  • deploy email notifications
  • the destination URL when the logo is clicked in some custom-domain setups

How to think about Settings vs Editor options

A good rule of thumb:

  • use Settings for site-wide defaults and behavior
  • use the Post Editor for post-specific overrides and content-level controls

For example:

  • site-wide comments belong in Integrations
  • per-post comments belong in the editor
  • site-wide SEO defaults belong in SEO
  • post-level canonical/schema/FAQ controls belong in the editor

Suggested workflow

If you are setting up a new Superblog, a practical order is:

  1. configure General
  2. choose your Design
  3. set up the Homepage
  4. organize Menu
  5. configure SEO
  6. add Multilingual if needed
  7. connect Integrations
  8. finish with Advanced

That sequence helps you move from brand setup to design to discovery and then to technical refinements.

Consolidation note

As the docs evolve, several settings-specific topics can live as sections of this settings page instead of separate small pages.

That includes topics such as:

  • interface language customization
  • nested navigation and CTA menu items
  • custom header and footer HTML
  • analytics, scripts, and cookie consent
  • redirects

Keeping them organized under the tab they belong to makes the Settings docs easier to browse.
