Getting Started with Mura CMS
Logging In to the Mura Administration
Mura CMS can support multiple administrative users. Each user who has access to the Mura Administration screens should be provided with a unique User Name and Password.
How to Log in
First, open your web browser. The default address for the Administration Panel is usually:
http://www.yoursite.com/admin
The login address can also be configured differently for a given site, if needed.
Here is an example of the default Mura login panel:
There are two fields in the login panel that must be filled out to log in (Username and Password). Here are brief descriptions of all the fields you will encounter:
- Username: Enter your login username. (Usernames are not case sensitive)
- Password: Enter the password associated with your username. (Passwords are case sensitive)
- Language: You can select a language from the 7 languages Mura currently supports. English is the default.
- Remember Me: This checkbox is optional. Check this box to allow the system to remember your login and password information so that you may login without having to type it every time.
When you are finished, click Login.
Additionally, if you have forgotten your password, you can enter the email associated with your account under "Forget Your Password?", and you will be sent a new, temporary password via email. Your password will now be set to this temporary password, and after logging in, you should reset your password to your preferred one.
After a successful login, you’ll see the Dashboard page. Users will automatically be logged out after a period of inactivity – the time period is configurable in the Site Settings menu (only available to Administrative users).
Note: If this is your first time logging in after installing Mura, we strongly recommended you change your password. This can be done by editing your profile, which is discussed in the Administrative Users section.
