Website look, address, search and custom code
The Settings tab: the look every page wears, your web address, languages, old links, search engines and code that runs on every page.

- domain
Open Website (sidebar, under Grow), then the Settings tab. It has six sections down the left: Your web address, Site look, Languages, Moving from another site, Custom code and Search engines. The last two are marked Advanced.
Your web address
The first row is your own domain: Connected, Waiting for DNS or Not connected. The second is your Drry address, which always works, even after a domain is connected. Once a domain is verified, search engines are told your site lives there.
Connecting a domain is for the community owner, and needs Creator or Growth. An admin can see how it is set up. See Connect your own domain and Custom domain not verifying.
This section also shows The page at your address: which page visitors land on first. With no home page, visitors see your join page.
Site look
One look for the whole site: Colors, Fonts, Corners and Buttons, and a Label font for eyebrows, buttons and the menu. You can pick a ready palette or build one from your brand color. If a color would make text hard to read, Drry deepens it a little and says so.
Press Use this look and every page wears it, published pages included. History keeps a restore point from just before. Sections can still have their own style. Your community's own colors and fonts in Customize are not changed by the site look. See Make it look like yours.
Languages
A website starts in one language. Languages beside the main one need Creator or Growth. Add a language, and each page can have a translation: Translate makes a draft copy of the page for you to rewrite in that language. It lives at the main page's address under the language, such as /fr/about. A translation shows Out of date when the main page was saved after it. You can also word the menu, header and footer labels in each language. Translations count toward your page limit.
Moving from another site
Paste your old website's address and press Find my pages. Drry reads its pages and matches each old address to one of your new pages: a sure match, a best guess to confirm, or none, where you Pick the page it became. Press Keep old links working and the redirects go live at once, so old links and search ranking follow your new pages.
Search engines
What Google and a shared link say about a page that says nothing of its own: the site's default description and social picture, and whether the site is yours as a person or a business. Each page can still say its own in Page details. See Website pages, menu and publishing and What search and AI engines see.
Custom code
Code from services you use, such as analytics, a chat widget or a verification tag, can run on every page of your website or only the pages you pick. It runs on your public website pages only, never in your members' area, your console or checkout. Only the owner and admins can change it. Everyone else sees it read only. Only paste code from a service you trust.
Three boxes: In the head, At the start of the page and At the end of the page. Each has an on switch, a choice of Every website page or Only chosen pages, and Wait for cookie consent.
Google Tag Manager: paste your container id, such as
GTM-ABC1234, and the container loads on every website page once a visitor's cookie choice allows it.Custom code sections: a style sheet and a script written once that reach every custom code section on your website, so fonts and base styles are not repeated in each one. They run inside each section, never on the rest of the page. A section drawn into the page takes the styles only.
Ad tracking: your Meta, Google and TikTok pixels already load on every website page, with the cookie banner. Manage them under Analytics.
Versions: every save is kept, and Put this back restores an earlier one. A change made by your assistant says so.
Custom code is also an ordinary section, in Add section under Custom code. It draws in its own frame by default. Choose Into the page under How it draws and a block with no script is drawn into the page itself, so search engines read its words. See What search and AI engines see.
Common questions
Does the site look change my community's colors?
No. The site look applies to your website pages. Your community's own colors and fonts, set in Customize, stay as they are.
Can I undo a look or a template?
Yes. A restore point is saved first, so open History, then Whole site, and restore it.
Why is my new language locked?
Languages beside your main one need Creator or Growth. Your main language works on every plan.
