my site

I've been trying to get rid of the words "my site" for awhile now. any suggestions?
http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/site-title#105028/
I tried that first.
I have a scrapbook page that I named "Global", and then created a block titled "My_Site_Name", but still have "My Site"
Anything else that I can try?

What Theme are you using?
some of the older themes don't have the ability to use the global block option. You will probably have to edit the header.php file of your theme so go to:
your site's root/packages/your_theme/themes/your_theme/elements/header.php
you should find the code in that file. You can either delete the code or add the code for the global blocks option which is:
copy this code and paste it over the code that's in your file.

Where do I find that file?
Didn't work for me. This is crazy I spent 2 hours trying to get rid of something it would take 20 second to do in a real editor. This is junk
I agree this is junk, tried to do the same thing and still have the stupid MY SITE there, I already have a site with weebly and its junk too so the only one left at I page is wordpress which makes less sense than the rest, where the hell is the super help promised in the ads for this site, i will dump the site and go somewhere else
not to mention there are only 9-10 themes available and the rest cost more..... money. open source my ass
Mojo,
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. But you should know that there are currently over 100 free themes in the marketplace...
If you tell me what theme you are using I can fix your issue and send you an updated copy/version of the theme that will allow you to edit your site name via the global scrapbook. PM me if you're interested.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm having the same issue using the default Plain Yogurt theme. I've changed the Global scrapbook entry Content:"My_Site_Name" from "My Site" to "What I really want this called".
Nothing happened on the default Home page. If I create a new page the text is generated correctly.
It's version 5.4.2.1 if that helps.
Thanks for any insight.

Just figured this out.
My updates weren't getting applied because of Caching.
After you change the Global scrapbook entry, go to Sitewide Settings and click the "Clear Cache" button (under Speed Settings).
Like magic, your new Site Name will appear.

Are you serious? c5 has to be one of the easiest CMS I have used. Joomla and Drupal are no where near as easy to use, or edit with and Wordpress is easy to use but not to build a whole site or theme with.
All of the above mentioned products are open source and yet all have Paid addons.
There are plenty of us in here who are willing to help you only need to let us know what theme you are using.
The site name is a common problem that appears often, a search brings up loads of problems and tutorials on how to solve this.
They boil down to two places, either the Scrap Book in the "My_Site_Name", or in the Sitewide Settings,
index.php/dashboard/settings/ - My guess is if its a theme that is using this that you have deleted the "Site Name" which then by default replaces it with "Site Name" try replacing this with your site name.
If you do not want it to be displayed use some CSS to hide it away, you can add custom CSS to you theme in the "Pages and Themes" page and click customize > add your own css, then add the following (assuming an ID of logo) #logo {display:none;}
Or load in the header for the required theme and remove the offending code.

There are only a few steps required to make this happen with the default theme (as of 10.8.11.)
1.) Upload you image logo via Dashboard > Filemanager
2.)Under Dashboard >Scrapbook, select Choose a Scrapbook then select Global. Edit the "My Site Name" file to include your logo image. Do not change this file name.
3.)You MUST then go to Dashboard > Sitewide Settings and in the Speed Box you MUST click the "Update Cache" button. Otherwise the logo site image will not be (updated) shown.
I found this a bit frustrating also. This is not a problem with the editor. Its just not clear why the cache needs to be updated for this to take effect. I've had to do this with different sites and it worked in all cases.
Concrete5 is fantastic.
Hope this helps.

Well it's almost impossible to figure this out without looking at the help, but people who just started using c5 think it's super easy and intuitive to use this tool to build their website as "click, type and save" while it's sort of advertised so. I had the same issue where I was clicking and highlight "my site" for half an hour to edit it. Changing "my site" into other name or replacing it with a new logo is the first thing people would do in first 5min of c5 trial and they'd be stuck there. FYI
just a heads up to anyone else looking at this thread...
The pain in editing your site name was certainly not by design - its one of those things that just emerged because of the organic nature of the project over time.
The good news is with the next version of concrete5 (V5.5) this will be super easy to edit and just as intuitive and obvious as anything else.

Sure, I look forward to it with the new version.
