Getting Started

  • Go to https://foundation.mozilla.org/cms/
  • Click "Log-in with Google"
  • Use your @mozillafoundation.org account (if you have one)
  • Ask for help in the #mofo-websites channel if you have login trouble

The first-time you log in, the CMS will create a user account for you, but will not immediately grant you any permissions. Please request access in the #mofo-wagtail channel after your initial login attempt.

Production & Staging Sites

https://foundation.mozilla.org/cms/ edits our live website https://foundation.mozilla.org/ so be extra careful with publishing pages.

We also have a staging site https://foundation.mofostaging.net/cms/ where you can safely play around and test things out. Note the site is reset once a week to match what is live on Production so you will lose your content. If you don't want to lose your work, please add your page to Production and save it as a draft or as a password protected page to collaborate with your team and do the modifications you need before pushing it live to the public.


Dashboard & Access

Once you are logged-in, you should see this dashboard. You will probably spend most of your time in "Pages" and then "Homepage" on the left side of the dashboard.
