Last time we introduced《 ZBlog tutorial: ZBlogPHP installation method 》After the initial establishment of a ZBlog website, the most important thing is to start managing the website. Then Yiwuku will continue to introduce the background management of ZBlogPHP and some basic settings to you, so that new webmasters can quickly start website management.
1. ZBlogPHP background login portal
Your domain name/zb_ system/cmd.php? act=login
Your domain name/zb_ system/login.php
These two web addresses can be written directly to the background login interface, and the "Control Panel" module will be displayed on the sidebar of some topics. You can also click "Login to the background" directly.
Forgot the administrator password just after installation? Reinstallation involves deleting files and databases, which is a bit troublesome. If you do not want to reinstall, please refer to《 Zblog PHP administrator forgot to reset and retrieve the password 》

2. ZBlogPHP Website Settings
After entering the website background, we can first set the website globally. Click "Website Settings" in the upper right corner to enter
Basic settings: you can modify the website title, subtitle and add statistical code. The website address does not need to be changed unless it is special;
Global Settings: By default, there are 9 settings in total. If not required, these settings can be kept as default settings;
Page settings: mainly settings related to article display and quantity. Before the website has a lot of content, the default settings can also be maintained here;
Comment settings: there are settings related to comments such as closing the whole site comment function, opening comment review, and enabling verification code;
The "Static Management Center" at the top is the pseudo static URL setting plug-in integrated by ZBlogPHP by default. For detailed settings, see《 The latest tutorial of ZblogPHP pseudo static setting method 》;

3. Website content management
Website content is the most important thing of a website. Yiwuku often meets some novice webmasters who are eager to overturn various website settings when the website content is still 0, especially the theme configuration with strong content relevance. They are often confused. In fact, if a website does not have a sufficient number of categories and articles, many settings cannot see the real-time effect, and some settings in the theme configuration may simply not start. So first, "create more categories and publish more articles" is very important to start managing the website.
The most important suggestion Yiwuku wants to give is: website content management starts from classification, website content management starts from classification, and website content management starts from classification!

Click "Category Management" and "New Category" in the left menu to start creating a new article category

The classification name is a required item. In view of previous experience and various considerations, it is suggested that the length should be controlled at about 4 Chinese characters or 2 English words;
Aliases are usually filled in with the pinyin or English corresponding to the name. The most commonly used place is pseudo static, that is, classified access websites;
Sorting only works in the classification module and navigation bar. For established secondary classifications, you can also change their order in the parent classification by sorting;
The parent category item is used to set the current category as a subcategory of a category. ZBlogPHP theoretically supports multi-level classification, but most topics only support two-level classification;
Template selection items cannot be selected and changed at will when different templates are not preset and explained for the theme; Zblogphp theme error template selection pit
The abstract is used to fill in a description about the classification. Whether this is adopted depends on the topic architecture;
When the Add Navigation Bar menu item is opened and submitted, the current classified links will be automatically added to the navigation bar module, which can reduce the code editing work of the navigation bar module;
After the classification is established, click "New Article" in the left menu to start publishing the article

All settings for article publishing are as the name implies. The most complex is the use of the editor. Various function buttons need to be explored and summarized in continuous practice, and will not be repeated here. Compared with classification, the article editor has more settings such as tag, top, comment switch, etc. The previous classification establishment work is just to prepare for the classification selection of article publishing. Here we will only explain the top items, which means that the current article can always be displayed at the latest top position of the article list without being affected by subsequent new articles. ZBlogPHP article top includes home page, global, and classification. Home page and classification top have a mutually exclusive feature, that is, the article will disappear in its classification after you choose to top on the home page, If you want to avoid it, you can select Global Top.
Next, click "Page Management" and "New Page" in the left menu to start creating a new single page. The only difference between a single page and an article is that there is no classification, and the theme will preset different templates for a single page, which is often used to create display pages for websites such as About Us and Contact Us.
4. Website application management
ZBlogPHP applications are divided into themes and plug-ins. Themes are website templates, which are used to represent the overall appearance of the website, while plug-ins tend to implement certain functions. Click the "Theme Management" menu on the left to see the built-in and installed themes of the system. There are also preset and installed plug-ins in the "Plug in Management" such as static management center, UEditor editor, application center client, etc.
Many themes, especially charging themes, usually attach a "Theme Configuration" menu in the upper right corner of the background. Currently, the settings of theme related content are managed through this portal.
Plug in list with
The plug-in represented by the icon has the setting function. Click to enter to see the relevant settings of the corresponding plug-in;
Click the "Application Center" menu on the left to enter the ZBlog official application center, where you can download various applications. The free applications will be automatically downloaded and installed by clicking "Get Applications" directly, and will be enabled in the theme or plug-in management after the prompt is successful. Paid apps are some works with more functions provided by developers. You need to click "Buy App" to pay for the purchase. After the purchase is successful, you can see it in "My App Warehouse". ZBlog paid apps can only be used after registered members log in. ZBlog tutorial: Tips on purchasing, downloading and enabling paid applications

Check for application updates: the function is to compare the installed applications with the application center applications online. If there is a corresponding new version, you will be prompted for updates;
System update and verification: the function is to compare ZBlog system files online, and prompt for update when there is a corresponding new version. This is the operation of updating ZBlog version;
5. Other extension management of the website
Label management: when publishing articles, you can fill in article labels. Labels are mainly used for classification, which is equivalent to the second classification. All generated labels are managed here;
Comment management: comments posted by website visitors in articles and single pages will appear here, and can be reviewed and deleted;
Attachment management: attachments uploaded when publishing articles and single pages will appear here, or they can be uploaded separately here and referenced elsewhere; An Amway accessory management enhanced free plug-in《 Schema Attachment Management 》
User management: you can change the password of the current administrator account or add or delete various user accounts here;
Module management: mainly the management of the content module of the sidebar, including the most commonly used navigation bar and general module of friendship links. Some themes and plug-ins will also create some modules, which are managed here;
Many commonly used modules of ZBlog need to be edited directly. Especially the navigation bar, a commonly used important module, is undoubtedly a test for novice webmasters. If necessary, please refer to《 The latest setup tutorial of ZblogPHP navigation bar module 》
Write at the end
Based on the powerful and good scalability of ZBlogPHP system, in addition to these mentioned in this article, other menus and links may be generated by themes and plug-ins. If necessary, pay attention to relevant application instructions. Website management is a systematic and complicated work. Proficiency in many links needs to be accumulated through long-term practice. Tutorial is like a teacher, mainly playing the role of dispelling doubts and guiding. The key to smooth website management is to operate more, explore more, and try more. As long as the content is not deleted in large quantities, most settings themselves do not pose great risks.
Every old webmaster used to be a novice. I sincerely hope this tutorial can help you first users of ZBlogPHP!
