What Users See

I am having issues. When I make updates to my site as an admin I don't see the changes when I go to the regular URL. Why is that?

Browser caching.  I have seen that as well.  Sometimes I have to go in and clear the browser cache; doing the shift-reload does not always cause it to fetch from the server anew.

No I mean I have changed the name of my site to TrepChat but the site still shows My Dolphin on the site's url www.trepchat.com. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

You have to edit the inc/header.inc.php file.  In that file you will see at the top your URL, change it to reflect to your site's new URL.

$site['url']               = "http://yoursite.com/";

change that to reflect your new URL.

Thank you. How do  I edit the code in Dolphin without having to access the files through FTP?

You don't.

The files themselves cannot be directly accessed in dolphin. You need to either use FTP or if you have cPanel from your host then you can use the cPanel file manager.

Site title is not the same as site url. You can edit the title in admin, but not the URL

Basically you can not.  You either need to download the file by FTP, edit, and then upload again; or you use a file editor in your control panel.

OK, I misunderstood what you needed due to communication barrier.  If you had said title and not URL.  Don't mess with the header file.

Go to your admin, go to settings, basic settings,  You will see a field where you enter your Site's Title.

I believe he is confusing the two.

I think he already changed the sites title, but did not see that change in the url which was what he was expecting. I am not sure he knows the difference between a title and a url.

I am not sure.  I went to the site and saw My Dolphin as the title for the site so guess that perhaps needed to know how to change the title.

Sorry if I was confusing you. Yes, I already changed the Site Title in Basic Settings. What I'm saying is if I changed the Site Title shouldn't it show up as what I changed it to on the homepage instead of "My Dolphin"? The TrepChat title is on www.trepchat.com/dolph instead of www.trepchat.com. I don't understand why it's like that.

Well.

That's because it appears you have two sites.

One here. http://trepchat.com/

And one here. http://www.trepchat.com/dolph/

And you are apparently changing the one located in the subfolder of dolph which is this one. http://www.trepchat.com/dolph/ and not this one. http://trepchat.com/

The problem is that you are not giving us all the data when you asked for help.  We need precise information and it seems that more often than not we get users coming in asking for help and they give very little information.

From what I can guess; and I should not be guessing, is that you originally installed Dolphin either in the root of your site or in a directory in the root.

This, "www.trepchat.com/dolph" is Dolphin installed in a directory under the web root.  This, "www.trepchat.com" is dolphin installed in the web root.  Which one of those is suppose to be your current site?
