Cyclops Content Studio

Content Studio is not initialized.

Initializing Content Studio creates its content and configuration storage in this website location.

If you are using Elements Browser Preview, that storage may be temporary. For a permanent installation, publish to a Local Folder or PHP-enabled web server first.

Starting content

Starter Content adds sample Posts, Events, and images that you can edit or delete at any time.

Support

Publisher-defined contact details. These are read-only here and are shown at the bottom of System Health.

Data Migration

Moving a site to a new server location?

Publish the Elements project to the new server location, then copy the complete cyclops-cms-data folder from the old location to the new location. Open the new Admin page and sign in using the existing credentials.

Publishing creates the application at the new location. Copying cyclops-cms-data transfers the existing Content Studio installation and content.

Do not run First-Time Setup before copying the existing data folder.

System Health

Check whether Content Studio storage, settings, and browser editing are ready.

System status loads after login.

Content Media

Choose an Image

Upload up to 12 JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF images at once; maximum 8 MB each.

For faster page loading, use web-optimized images whenever possible. Large image files may slow your website.

Image preparation tips

For photographs, prefer JPG or WebP and resize the longest edge to roughly 1,600–2,000 pixels. Aim for about 200–600 KB where quality allows. Use PNG for transparency or sharp interface detail, crop empty space, and choose descriptive filenames. Alt text describes useful visual content; captions are visible to readers.
