Wagtail Starter Kit

This project was created by following the "Your first Wagtail site" tutorial in the Wagtail docs, up through the point at which you first run the server and the welcome page appears.

From here, you could continue following the tutorial to learn about basic Wagtail development, or use this as a starting point for quick demos or examples.

Getting started

  1. Remix this project
  2. Open the console and run python3 manage.py createsuperuser to create an admin user for yourself
    • Full disclosure: I have already created my own superuser (admin) that is stored in the SQLite database in the source of this project. If you remix the project, I could theoretically log in with that user on your project's public admin URL. If you are concerned about this, you can use your new superuser to change the admin user's password.
  3. Click Show ➡️ In a New Window to view the welcome page
    • Note: Due to cross-origin restrictions, the site will not render in iframes on glitch.com URLs, such as if you were to try and show it next to the code, or if you are looking at the main project info page.
  4. Add /admin to the URL to log into the Wagtail admin interface (or click the link on the bottom right of the welcome page)
  5. Hack away!
