Django Admin - change header 'Django administration' text

Question

How does one change the \'Django administration\' text in the django admin header?

It doesn\'t seem to be covered in the \"Customizing the admin\" documentation.

Answer 1

From Django 2.0 you can just add a single line in the url.py and change the name.

# url.py

from django.contrib import admin 
admin.site.site_header = "My Admin Central" # Add this

For older versions of Django. (<1.11 and earlier) you need to edit admin/base_site.html

Change this line

{% block title %}{{ title }} | {{ site_title|default:_('Django site admin') }}{% endblock %}

to

{% block title %}{{ title }} | {{ site_title|default:_('Your Site name Admin Central') }}{% endblock %}

You can check your django version by

django-admin --version
