Editing Site Variables

Sometimes, certain aspects of a site require setting up multiple places on the CMS. These are created as a site variable so the information can be easily updated in multiple places.

 

One example of this would be your social links that appear in the website footer (see Editing Your Social Links and Video: Editing your social links). These buttons require that the links be stored in a variable, just like the one shown below:

 

 

To edit the data behind variables such as this one in the Vennture CMS, you will need to navigate to Site Settings via the left-hand menu:

 

 

Then, select the Site Variables option from the sub-menu.

 

 

This area of the CMS will contain all the variables being used for your website.

 

Once you find the variable you want to change, in this instance, the Social Links variable, you can click into it to bring up the file.

 

Once the file has been updated with your new data, it can be saved. When saving a variable, please ensure the "Publish" checkbox has been ticked. 

 

 

Now that the variable has been saved, you will need to publish both the files and the whole site to ensure that your new data is pushed out to all pages on your website. Changes to variables may take up to 15 minutes to fully change following a site publish. For more information on publishing your files or the entire site, see our guides below:
