Drupal 8 : "@site" display "Drupal" instead of "site name"

By nothinghere on 12 Feb 2017 at 17:19 UTC

Hello Drupal community !

I've just installed D8 avec somes years using D7.

First step : change the site name.
I've changed site name in /admin/config/system/site-information

But a default name ( => here: "Drupal" ) is always displayed.

"Drupal" is displayed when I call "@site" or "@s". Any tips ? Any help ?
Thank you,

Translation ?

ClRette commented 13 February 2017 at 00:01

Hello,
I had the same problem, using Drupal 8.2.6 when I decided to have a french interface.
since I downloaded fr.po, when I'm going on a page type as localhost/myWebsite/fr, title page & site name are "Drupal", and when I'm going on a page type as localhost/myWebsite, title page & site name become "MyWebsite".
I don't know if I forget something or if it's a "bug".
Thanks in advance of any help

Same for me, I'm french and

Same for me, I'm french and using only french translation (uninstalled english translation).

It's a problem with translation module, or the french version ? Anyone can try in a different language and tell us more ?

I add something I noticed.

ClRette commented 13 February 2017 at 16:18

I add something I noticed. When I tried to configure a block on the home page, "page not found". It is the particle 'en/' or 'fr/' in the URL that causes this... because when you remove it, it works fine.
I saw some of similar pb.
node 2823359, node 2822199... maybe the second one purpose an issue... but I don't know if it's the good way to do it...?

I've deleted the particle 'en

nothinghere commented 13 February 2017 at 16:08

I've deleted the particle 'en/' or 'fr/' in /admin/config/regional/language/detection
=> Detect by URL is disabled. I've keep "selected language".

Still have this bug, what should I do ?

Sorry I just want to say when

ClRette commented 13 February 2017 at 16:27

Sorry I just want to say when you remove it manually directly in the url you will find your site name, isn't it ?
Maybe you can check the second link I give...? I think there is something to search around prefix provided for languages in URL detection parameters...

No, it doesn't get back :(

I've change the site name again: nothing change.
I've get back english language and URL detection: nothing change. But still here ...

ClRette commented 13 February 2017 at 16:56

I am really a beginner with drupal (and in English as you see). I open the question on drupalfr too.
I saw a topic where people say to change it in settings.php:

# $ config ['system.site'] ['name'] = 'My Drupal site';

You need to uncomment, but that doesn't work for me: the page title remains wrong (Welcome to Drupal | Drupal)

Personaly I am going to work with an interface in English at the moment, I see no other solution : /

When I change to :$ config [

nothinghere commented 13 February 2017 at 17:16

When I change to :
$ config ['system.site'] ['name'] = 'My Test site';

It works !
Works for page title too.

But I have just "Selected language" options in admin/config/regional/language/detection/
and I have "Site's default language (English)" selected in admin/config/regional/language/detection/selected
=> URL (Language from the URL (Path prefix or domain).) is unchecked.

Second test :
admin/config/regional/language
Choose "French" as "default".
It display "My Drupal site" => it works.

Thirth test :
Delete engilsh in admin/config/regional/language
"French" is the last language and it's default.
It display "My Drupal site" => it works.

It seem to work, but I've commentend $ config ['system.site'] ['name'] = 'My Test site'; it back.
I've try to change it again in admin/config/system/site-information.
This page doesn't seem to work at all.

So I modified my setting file again to something definitive, like : $ config ['system.site'] ['name'] = 'My website name'; and ... It doesn't work anymore !

Really crazy ...

Isn't it a cache story ?

ClRette commented 13 February 2017 at 17:44

Isn't it a cache story ?
In the Manage administrative menu, navigate to Configuration > Development > Performance (admin/config/development/performance).
Click Clear all caches to try...?

Thanks but ...

ClRette commented 14 February 2017 at 05:00

It works for me.
In fact, the answer is in the Drupal documentation...
"To translate the site name, navigate in the Manage administrative menu to Configuration > System > Site information > Translate system information (admin/config/system/site-information/translate)."
If you follow all the steps which he abords, you reach the expected result.
Since : the 10.1 documentation until 10.5 last part.
I think the first good habit is to search in the Drupal's documentation (that explains no response is given in open subjects).

Enjoy :)

Same issue here, seems

tiikeri commented 14 February 2017 at 10:08

Same issue here, seems related with translation. Assume I have a site in one language different from English. I can install a new language and set my language as Default. I don't need content translation or language detection.
Just to be more detailed, in my case I installed the language after the standard installation in English.

In this situation you don't have the panel to translate the configuration interface as suggested in #12 , but changing the configuration in settings.php as suggested above worked for me. (thank you for the tip)

I think this behaviour is related with the new entity translation system in drupal8, which is very promising for multilingual sites. Anyway I think this should be considered a bug or a feature regression because it would be very common having one default language different from English. In d7 you can do this just by changing the Site Name in the global configuration page.

Don't know if I'm missing something cause I'm new to d8

It's probably a bug(?),

mandus.cz commented 15 February 2017 at 15:57

It's probably a bug(?), temporary solution:
1) Install core module "Configuration Translation".
2) Go to "Basic site setting" (Administration->Configuration->System)
3) Click "Translate system information" tab .
4) Click "Add" or "Edit" button and set site name.

You will have 4 modules to install, not juste one. I'm a newbie, but if you follow the steps, normally as me you can resolve it.

same here

timoratd commented 7 April 2017 at 22:23

definitely a bug, if your site's default language is not english, the english translation of your site name will be updated to 'Drupal' sooner or later by an unknown force, I have updated it tons of times, but it keeps changing back to 'Drupal'.

It is a bug!!

Chris7419 commented 8 April 2017 at 17:23

I think it is a bug too!! If someone send me a messag from the contact form the sender is Drupal.
To solve the problem is uncomment line 636 in settings.php ($config['system.site']['name'] = 'My Drupal site';)

Site name bug

pandelon commented 5 May 2017 at 20:42

It is definitely a bug!

My site default language is not English and my sitename switch back time to time "Drupal". I changed it several times, and not know when will change again back.
I user Drupal 8.3.1 now

Plese correct it!

Same Issue

Hello,
i'm having the same issue with Drupal 8.3.2. I temporary solved editing the settings.php file and editing the parameter

enable the configuration translate module

bildesbil commented 31 May 2017 at 12:26

Hello
I had the same problem but just enable the configuration translate module and then go to change the name in the configuration part of the site to the translate tab
I hope this helps!

First, you need to use

tuthanh commented 5 June 2017 at 08:36

First, you need to use Configuration Translation to translate the site name to another language.

Second, in my case, I did that but it still does not work. I followed the guide here: https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/221430/multilingual-site-title . So I use PHPMyAdmin, browse the 'config' table and I found two records:

language.vi system.name
language.en system.name

I deleted the language.vi system.name and then redo the configuration translation. Now it works.

My site uses two languages Greeek (el) English (en)
Thanks for the solution

Same problem for me.

Same problem for me.
I enabled the metatag module and added mySiteName instead of the [site:name] in global settings (and to be sure, did the same, in content and frontpage). Clear Cache.
It works fine for me.

I suspect this happens when Drupal is initially installed with a language that is not en. If anyone is interested, running this Code might help: \Drupal::languageManager()->getLanguageConfigOverrideStorage('de')->delete('system.site');, just replace de with your installation language. Afterwards you might have to update the configuration under /admin/config/system/site-information, so write down those values beforehand :)

Thank you ckaotik, this is

You can add it anywhere in a block of PHP code which is running when you see a page. (For example in a preprocess function)
After the code is executed once, you can remove this line of code.
OR
You can also install the devel module. By this, you should get the development menu (available trough the drupal logo on the left if you have the admin_tool module). Then go to "Development > execute PHP Code". Paste this line of code and execute it.

Work great

Actually, this happens even when Drupal is initially installed in English.

This has been my case too.

It's been very dificult to get rid of the "Drupal" everywhere. What's the final recommended solution?
Using 8.4 still the issue persists.

In my case I was able to resolve this modifying configuration files and using standard Drupal configuration sync with drush cim.

I have Spanish as the primary language (es) and English as the secondary language, but somehow at some point the value "Drupal" got saved to config/sync/language/es/system.site.yml ! I believe this file shouldn't even be present, because the default file of config/sync/system.site.yml has the correct Spanish site title, and has a value of langcode: es however instead of deleting the file, I just changed the value in that file to coincide with the Spanish site title in the default yml, and ran drush cim. This solved it for me.
