OJS 3.0.2 site settings not accessible unless a journal has been created

Hi all,

just installed OJS 3.0.2 for a bit of testing and chose 4 languages during installation.
While setting up the first journal I had to enter title and description in all four languages. So I canceled it and intended to reduce the site settings before creating the first journal, but was not able to access the site settings via the UI at this point.
Under Administration there was no link see

So I created a journal and then the site settings were listed under Administration

I’m I overlooking something?

Sunny greetings

Hi @cjuergen,

That’s intended behavior – OJS operates in slightly different ways depending on whether you have one or several journals created. The software isn’t useful unless you have at least one journal created.

I have installed a fresh OJS 3.0.2 and created journal but still can not see the site setting at

Administration > Site Administration > Site Management > Site Setting

I am the only user of the site, USER ONE CREATED when installed the site. I am not sure what might be wrong.

Hi @Dilan_Rostam,

That’s intended behavior; see above. To make that area available, create a second journal.

Thanks, I would put it deactivated site Setting link, and say, will be active when journals are created, remove note when activated. Hope this will help!
