Configuration Changes:

  • Ensure that in Configuration -> People -> Account Settings the "Who can register accounts?" setting is set to Administrators Only (unless the website has a specific need to keep this set to Visitors, but administrator approval is required. NEVER set to just Visitors)

Modules to install [work in progress, not complete - MTH]:

  • ARTY - when installing ARTY do not select any other modules to install. With how many modules it requires, adding more can cause the install process to hang.
  • Google Tag - work with Josie to configure.
  • Redirect - be sure to configure to automatically create a redirect when an alias changes, with the 301 message.
  • Layout Builder - after installing be sure the Basic Page is configured to use layout builder.
  • Layout Builder Modal
  • Admin Toolbar
  • Admin Toolbar Extras
  • Google Programmable Search
