Add custom background for CMS login page

Every website you built in the SiteManager platform has it's own CMS login screen. You have the option to change the background image of this login screen in two ways. First you can add a background picture to your account information. This background will now be used for the CMS login for all the projects you have created.

If you want to add a custom background to a specific project only you can also do this by going to the settings page of the project. We will explain both options in this article.

Note: The CMS login screen is not the dashboard login screen. The dashboard is used by designers and developers while the CMS login is where your client goes to edit their content.

(Standard CMS login screen)

Custom background for all projects

Step 1: login to dashboard

Goto: https://cloud.sitemn.gr/dashboard/ and login.

Step 2: Install Add-On

Click Add-Ons and click Install Add-On. Read more here: http://knowledge.sitemanager.io/sitemanager-design/overview/sitemanager-design-introduction

Select Custom CMS login and click Add.

Step 3: Custom CMS Login

Once the Add-On is installed click Set Background to manage your background.

Step 4: Upload File

The image you see is the standard login screen without a custom background

Now we are going to upload a background and all our created projects will show this background (except the project specific backgrounds we are going to talk about later)

(1) Upload a .jpg file with exact dimensions 1920 x 1080 pixels. (max file size 1.5MB)

(2) Click Save to upload the file

After the file has been uploaded you will see it replaced the standard image.

You can upload a new picture to replace your current picture or click the delete button to remove your custom background image.

Click cancel to return to your Account Page.

Custom background for one specific project

You can overwrite your standard background or the default background for a specific website.

Step 1: Login to dashboard and go to project settings

Click on the Settings button of the website project you want to add a custom background to.

Step 2: CMS Login Background

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the CMS Login Background button.

Step 3: Upload File

Now we are going to upload a background only for this project.

(1) Upload a .jpg file with exact dimensions 1920 x 1080 pixels. (max file size 1.5MB)

(2) Click Save to upload the file

After the file has been uploaded you will see it appear on your screen. You can delete it or upload a new file to replace it.

Click cancel to return to the Settings page of the website.
