Settings¶

WAGTAIL_SITE_NAME¶

WAGTAIL_SITE_NAME = 'Stark Industries Skunkworks'

This is the human-readable name of your Wagtail install which welcomes users upon login to the Wagtail admin.

WAGTAILADMIN_BASE_URL¶

WAGTAILADMIN_BASE_URL = 'http://example.com'

This is the base URL used by the Wagtail admin site. It is typically used for generating URLs to include in notification emails.

If this setting is not present, Wagtail will try to fall back to request.site.root_url or to the request’s host name.

WAGTAIL_APPEND_SLASH¶

# Don't add a trailing slash to Wagtail-served URLs
WAGTAIL_APPEND_SLASH = False

Similar to Django’s APPEND_SLASH, this setting controls how Wagtail will handle requests that don’t end in a trailing slash.

When WAGTAIL_APPEND_SLASH is True (default), requests to Wagtail pages which omit a trailing slash will be redirected by Django’s CommonMiddleware to a URL with a trailing slash.

When WAGTAIL_APPEND_SLASH is False, requests to Wagtail pages will be served both with and without trailing slashes. Page links generated by Wagtail, however, will not include trailing slashes.

WAGTAILSEARCH_BACKENDS¶

WAGTAILSEARCH_BACKENDS = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'wagtail.search.backends.elasticsearch5',
        'INDEX': 'myapp'
    }
}

Define a search backend. For a full explanation, see Backends.

WAGTAILSEARCH_HITS_MAX_AGE¶

WAGTAILSEARCH_HITS_MAX_AGE = 14

Set the number of days (default 7) that search query logs are kept for; these are used to identify popular search terms for promoted search results. Queries older than this will be removed by the rebuild_references_index command.

WAGTAIL_I18N_ENABLED¶

(boolean, default False)

When set to True, Wagtail’s internationalisation features will be enabled:

WAGTAIL_I18N_ENABLED = True

WAGTAIL_CONTENT_LANGUAGES¶

(list, default [])

A list of languages and/or locales that Wagtail content can be authored in.

For example:

WAGTAIL_CONTENT_LANGUAGES = [
    ('en', _("English")),
    ('fr', _("French")),
]

Each item in the list is a 2-tuple containing a language code and a display name. The language code can either be a language code on its own (such as en, fr), or it can include a region code (such as en-gb, fr-fr). You can mix the two formats if you only need to localize in some regions but not others.

This setting follows the same structure of Django’s LANGUAGES setting, so they can both be set to the same value:

LANGUAGES = WAGTAIL_CONTENT_LANGUAGES = [
    ('en-gb', _("English (United Kingdom)")),
    ('en-us', _("English (United States)")),
    ('es-es', _("Spanish (Spain)")),
    ('es-mx', _("Spanish (Mexico)")),
]

However having them separate allows you to configure many different regions on your site yet have them share Wagtail content (but defer on things like date formatting, currency, etc):

LANGUAGES = [
    ('en', _("English (United Kingdom)")),
    ('en-us', _("English (United States)")),
    ('es', _("Spanish (Spain)")),
    ('es-mx', _("Spanish (Mexico)")),
]


WAGTAIL_CONTENT_LANGUAGES = [
    ('en', _("English")),
    ('es', _("Spanish")),
]

This would mean that your site will respond on the https://www.mysite.com/es/ and https://www.mysite.com/es-MX/ URLs, but both of them will serve content from the same “Spanish” tree in Wagtail.

WAGTAILEMBEDS_RESPONSIVE_HTML¶

WAGTAILEMBEDS_RESPONSIVE_HTML = True

Adds class="responsive-object" and an inline padding-bottom style to embeds, to assist in making them responsive. See Responsive Embeds for details.

WAGTAILADMIN_RECENT_EDITS_LIMIT¶

WAGTAILADMIN_RECENT_EDITS_LIMIT = 5

This setting lets you change the number of items shown at ‘Your most recent edits’ on the dashboard.

WAGTAILADMIN_RICH_TEXT_EDITORS¶

WAGTAILADMIN_RICH_TEXT_EDITORS = {
    'default': {
        'WIDGET': 'wagtail.admin.rich_text.DraftailRichTextArea',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'features': ['h2', 'bold', 'italic', 'link', 'document-link']
        }
    },
    'secondary': {
        'WIDGET': 'some.external.RichTextEditor',
    }
}

Customise the behaviour of rich text fields. By default, RichTextField and RichTextBlock use the configuration given under the 'default' key, but this can be overridden on a per-field basis through the editor keyword argument, for example body = RichTextField(editor='secondary'). Within each configuration block, the following fields are recognised:

• WIDGET: The rich text widget implementation to use. Wagtail provides wagtail.admin.rich_text.DraftailRichTextArea (a modern extensible editor which enforces well-structured markup). Other widgets may be provided by third-party packages.

• OPTIONS: Configuration options to pass to the widget. Recognised options are widget-specific, but DraftailRichTextArea accept a features list indicating the active rich text features (see Limiting features in a rich text field).

If a 'default' editor is not specified, rich text fields that do not specify an editor argument will use the Draftail editor with the default feature set enabled.

WAGTAILADMIN_EXTERNAL_LINK_CONVERSION¶

WAGTAILADMIN_EXTERNAL_LINK_CONVERSION = 'exact'

Customise Wagtail’s behaviour when an internal page url is entered in the external link chooser. Possible values for this setting are 'all', 'exact', 'confirm, or ''. The default, 'all', means that Wagtail will automatically convert submitted urls that exactly match page urls to the corresponding internal links. If the url is an inexact match - for example, the submitted url has query parameters - then Wagtail will confirm the conversion with the user. 'exact' means that any inexact matches will be left as external urls, and the confirmation step will be skipped. 'confirm' means that every link conversion will be confirmed with the user, even if the match is exact. '' means that Wagtail will not attempt to convert any urls entered to internal page links.

WAGTAIL_DATE_FORMAT, WAGTAIL_DATETIME_FORMAT, WAGTAIL_TIME_FORMAT¶

WAGTAIL_DATE_FORMAT = '%d.%m.%Y.'
WAGTAIL_DATETIME_FORMAT = '%d.%m.%Y. %H:%M'
WAGTAIL_TIME_FORMAT = '%H:%M'

Specifies the date, time and datetime format to be used in input fields in the Wagtail admin. The format is specified in Python datetime module syntax, and must be one of the recognised formats listed in the DATE_INPUT_FORMATS, TIME_INPUT_FORMATS, or DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS setting respectively (see DATE_INPUT_FORMATS).

WAGTAILADMIN_COMMENTS_ENABLED¶

# Disable commenting
WAGTAILADMIN_COMMENTS_ENABLED = False

Sets whether commenting is enabled for pages (True by default).

WAGTAIL_ALLOW_UNICODE_SLUGS¶

WAGTAIL_ALLOW_UNICODE_SLUGS = True

By default, page slugs can contain any alphanumeric characters, including non-Latin alphabets. Set this to False to limit slugs to ASCII characters.

WAGTAIL_AUTO_UPDATE_PREVIEW¶

WAGTAIL_AUTO_UPDATE_PREVIEW = True

When enabled, the preview panel in the page editor is automatically updated on each change. If set to False, a refresh button will be shown and the preview is only updated when the button is clicked. This behaviour is enabled by default.

To completely disable the preview panel, set preview modes to be empty on your model preview_modes = [].

WAGTAIL_AUTO_UPDATE_PREVIEW_INTERVAL¶

WAGTAIL_AUTO_UPDATE_PREVIEW_INTERVAL = 500

The interval (in milliseconds) to check for changes made in the page editor before updating the preview. The default value is 500.

WAGTAILADMIN_GLOBAL_PAGE_EDIT_LOCK¶

WAGTAILADMIN_GLOBAL_PAGE_EDIT_LOCK can be set to True to prevent users from editing pages that they have locked.

WAGTAILADMIN_UNSAFE_PAGE_DELETION_LIMIT¶

WAGTAILADMIN_UNSAFE_PAGE_DELETION_LIMIT = 20

This setting enables an additional confirmation step when deleting a page with a large number of child pages. If the number of pages is greater than or equal to this limit (10 by default), the user must enter the site name (as defined by WAGTAIL_SITE_NAME) to proceed.

WAGTAILIMAGES_IMAGE_MODEL¶

WAGTAILIMAGES_IMAGE_MODEL = 'myapp.MyImage'

This setting lets you provide your own image model for use in Wagtail, which should extend the built-in AbstractImage class.

WAGTAILIMAGES_IMAGE_FORM_BASE¶

WAGTAILIMAGES_IMAGE_FORM_BASE = 'myapp.forms.MyImageBaseForm'

This setting lets you provide your own image base form for use in Wagtail, which should extend the built-in BaseImageForm class. You can use it to specify or override the widgets to use in the admin form.

WAGTAILIMAGES_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE¶

WAGTAILIMAGES_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE = 20 * 1024 * 1024  # 20MB

This setting lets you override the maximum upload size for images (in bytes). If omitted, Wagtail will fall back to using its 10MB default value.

WAGTAILIMAGES_MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS¶

WAGTAILIMAGES_MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS = 128000000  # 128 megapixels

This setting lets you override the maximum number of pixels an image can have. If omitted, Wagtail will fall back to using its 128 megapixels default value. The pixel count takes animation frames into account - for example, a 25-frame animation of size 100x100 is considered to have 100 _ 100 _ 25 = 250000 pixels.

WAGTAILIMAGES_FEATURE_DETECTION_ENABLED¶

WAGTAILIMAGES_FEATURE_DETECTION_ENABLED = True

This setting enables feature detection once OpenCV is installed, see all details on the Feature Detection documentation.

WAGTAILIMAGES_INDEX_PAGE_SIZE¶

WAGTAILIMAGES_INDEX_PAGE_SIZE = 20

Specifies the number of images per page shown on the main Images listing in the Wagtail admin.

WAGTAILIMAGES_USAGE_PAGE_SIZE¶

WAGTAILIMAGES_USAGE_PAGE_SIZE = 20

Specifies the number of items per page shown when viewing an image’s usage.

WAGTAILIMAGES_CHOOSER_PAGE_SIZE¶

WAGTAILIMAGES_CHOOSER_PAGE_SIZE = 12

Specifies the number of images shown per page in the image chooser modal.

WAGTAILIMAGES_RENDITION_STORAGE¶

WAGTAILIMAGES_RENDITION_STORAGE = 'myapp.backends.MyCustomStorage'

This setting allows image renditions to be stored using an alternative storage backend. The default is None, which will use Django’s default FileSystemStorage.

Custom storage classes should subclass django.core.files.storage.Storage. See the Django file storage API.

WAGTAILDOCS_DOCUMENT_MODEL¶

WAGTAILDOCS_DOCUMENT_MODEL = 'myapp.MyDocument'

This setting lets you provide your own document model for use in Wagtail, which should extend the built-in AbstractDocument class.

WAGTAILDOCS_DOCUMENT_FORM_BASE¶

WAGTAILDOCS_DOCUMENT_FORM_BASE = 'myapp.forms.MyDocumentBaseForm'

This setting lets you provide your own Document base form for use in Wagtail, which should extend the built-in BaseDocumentForm class. You can use it to specify or override the widgets to use in the admin form.

WAGTAILDOCS_SERVE_METHOD¶

WAGTAILDOCS_SERVE_METHOD = 'redirect'

Determines how document downloads will be linked to and served. Normally, requests for documents are sent through a Django view, to perform privacy checks (see Collection Privacy settings) and potentially other housekeeping tasks such as hit counting. To fully protect against users bypassing this check, it needs to happen in the same request where the document is served; however, this incurs a performance hit as the document then needs to be served by the Django server. In particular, this cancels out much of the benefit of hosting documents on external storage, such as S3 or a CDN.

For this reason, Wagtail provides a number of serving methods which trade some of the strictness of the permission check for performance:

• 'direct' - links to documents point directly to the URL provided by the underlying storage, bypassing the Django view that provides the permission check. This is most useful when deploying sites as fully static HTML (for example using wagtail-bakery or Gatsby).

• 'redirect' - links to documents point to a Django view which will check the user’s permission; if successful, it will redirect to the URL provided by the underlying storage to allow the document to be downloaded. This is most suitable for remote storage backends such as S3, as it allows the document to be served independently of the Django server. Note that if a user is able to guess the latter URL, they will be able to bypass the permission check; some storage backends may provide configuration options to generate a random or short-lived URL to mitigate this.

• 'serve_view' - links to documents point to a Django view which both checks the user’s permission, and serves the document. Serving will be handled by django-sendfile, if this is installed and supported by your server configuration, or as a streaming response from Django if not. When using this method, it is recommended that you configure your webserver to disallow serving documents directly from their location under MEDIA_ROOT, as this would provide a way to bypass the permission check.

If WAGTAILDOCS_SERVE_METHOD is unspecified or set to None, the default method is 'redirect' when a remote storage backend is in use (one that exposes a URL but not a local filesystem path), and 'serve_view' otherwise. Finally, some storage backends may not expose a URL at all; in this case, serving will proceed as for 'serve_view'.

WAGTAILDOCS_CONTENT_TYPES¶

WAGTAILDOCS_CONTENT_TYPES = {
    'pdf': 'application/pdf',
    'txt': 'text/plain',
}

Specifies the MIME content type that will be returned for the given file extension, when using the serve_view method. Content types not listed here will be guessed using the Python mimetypes.guess_type function, or application/octet-stream if unsuccessful.

WAGTAILDOCS_INLINE_CONTENT_TYPES¶

WAGTAILDOCS_INLINE_CONTENT_TYPES = ['application/pdf', 'text/plain']

A list of MIME content types that will be shown inline in the browser (by serving the HTTP header Content-Disposition: inline) rather than served as a download, when using the serve_view method. Defaults to application/pdf.

WAGTAILDOCS_EXTENSIONS¶

WAGTAILDOCS_EXTENSIONS = ['pdf', 'docx']

A list of allowed document extensions that will be validated during document uploading. If this isn’t supplied all document extensions are allowed. Warning: this doesn’t always ensure that the uploaded file is valid as files can be renamed to have an extension no matter what data they contain.

WAGTAIL_PASSWORD_MANAGEMENT_ENABLED¶

WAGTAIL_PASSWORD_MANAGEMENT_ENABLED = True

This specifies whether users are allowed to change their passwords (enabled by default).

WAGTAIL_PASSWORD_RESET_ENABLED¶

WAGTAIL_PASSWORD_RESET_ENABLED = True

This specifies whether users are allowed to reset their passwords. Defaults to the same as WAGTAIL_PASSWORD_MANAGEMENT_ENABLED. Password reset emails will be sent from the address specified in Django’s DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL setting.

WAGTAILUSERS_PASSWORD_ENABLED¶

WAGTAILUSERS_PASSWORD_ENABLED = True

This specifies whether password fields are shown when creating or editing users through Settings -> Users (enabled by default). Set this to False (along with WAGTAIL_PASSWORD_MANAGEMENT_ENABLED and WAGTAIL_PASSWORD_RESET_ENABLED) if your users are authenticated through an external system such as LDAP.

WAGTAILUSERS_PASSWORD_REQUIRED¶

WAGTAILUSERS_PASSWORD_REQUIRED = True

This specifies whether password is a required field when creating a new user. True by default; ignored if WAGTAILUSERS_PASSWORD_ENABLED is false. If this is set to False, and the password field is left blank when creating a user, then that user will have no usable password; in order to log in, they will have to reset their password (if WAGTAIL_PASSWORD_RESET_ENABLED is True) or use an alternative authentication system such as LDAP (if one is set up).

WAGTAIL_EMAIL_MANAGEMENT_ENABLED¶

WAGTAIL_EMAIL_MANAGEMENT_ENABLED = True

This specifies whether users are allowed to change their email (enabled by default).

WAGTAILADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_RESET_FORM¶

WAGTAILADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_RESET_FORM = 'users.forms.PasswordResetForm'

Allows the default PasswordResetForm to be extended with extra fields.

WAGTAIL_USER_EDIT_FORM¶

WAGTAIL_USER_EDIT_FORM = 'users.forms.CustomUserEditForm'

Allows the default UserEditForm class to be overridden with a custom form when a custom user model is being used and extra fields are required in the user edit form.

For further information See Custom user models.

WAGTAIL_USER_CREATION_FORM¶

WAGTAIL_USER_CREATION_FORM = 'users.forms.CustomUserCreationForm'

Allows the default UserCreationForm class to be overridden with a custom form when a custom user model is being used and extra fields are required in the user creation form.

For further information See Custom user models.

WAGTAIL_USER_CUSTOM_FIELDS¶

WAGTAIL_USER_CUSTOM_FIELDS = ['country']

A list of the extra custom fields to be appended to the default list.

For further information See Custom user models.

WAGTAILADMIN_USER_LOGIN_FORM¶

WAGTAILADMIN_USER_LOGIN_FORM = 'users.forms.LoginForm'

Allows the default LoginForm to be extended with extra fields.

WAGTAIL_GRAVATAR_PROVIDER_URL¶

WAGTAIL_GRAVATAR_PROVIDER_URL = '//www.gravatar.com/avatar'

If a user has not uploaded a profile picture, Wagtail will look for an avatar linked to their email address on gravatar.com. This setting allows you to specify an alternative provider such as like robohash.org, or can be set to None to disable the use of remote avatars completely.

WAGTAIL_USER_TIME_ZONES¶

Logged-in users can choose their current time zone for the admin interface in the account settings. If is no time zone selected by the user, then TIME_ZONE will be used. (Note that time zones are only applied to datetime fields, not to plain time or date fields. This is a Django design decision.)

The list of time zones is by default the common_timezones list from pytz. It is possible to override this list via the WAGTAIL_USER_TIME_ZONES setting. If there is zero or one time zone permitted, the account settings form will be hidden.

WAGTAIL_USER_TIME_ZONES = ['America/Chicago', 'Australia/Sydney', 'Europe/Rome']

WAGTAILADMIN_PERMITTED_LANGUAGES¶

Users can choose between several languages for the admin interface in the account settings. The list of languages is by default all the available languages in Wagtail with at least 90% coverage. To change it, set WAGTAILADMIN_PERMITTED_LANGUAGES:

WAGTAILADMIN_PERMITTED_LANGUAGES = [('en', 'English'),
                                    ('pt', 'Portuguese')]

Since the syntax is the same as Django LANGUAGES, you can do this so users can only choose between front office languages:

LANGUAGES = WAGTAILADMIN_PERMITTED_LANGUAGES = [('en', 'English'), ('pt', 'Portuguese')]

WAGTAILADMIN_NOTIFICATION_FROM_EMAIL¶

WAGTAILADMIN_NOTIFICATION_FROM_EMAIL = 'wagtail@myhost.io'

Wagtail sends email notifications when content is submitted for moderation, and when the content is accepted or rejected. This setting lets you pick which email address these automatic notifications will come from. If omitted, Wagtail will fall back to using Django’s DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL setting.

WAGTAILADMIN_NOTIFICATION_USE_HTML¶

WAGTAILADMIN_NOTIFICATION_USE_HTML = True

Notification emails are sent in text/plain by default, change this to use HTML formatting.

WAGTAILADMIN_NOTIFICATION_INCLUDE_SUPERUSERS¶

WAGTAILADMIN_NOTIFICATION_INCLUDE_SUPERUSERS = False

Notification emails are sent to moderators and superusers by default. You can change this to exclude superusers and only notify moderators.

WAGTAIL_ENABLE_UPDATE_CHECK¶

WAGTAIL_ENABLE_UPDATE_CHECK = True

For admins only, Wagtail performs a check on the dashboard to see if newer releases are available. This also provides the Wagtail team with the hostname of your Wagtail site. If you’d rather not receive update notifications, or if you’d like your site to remain unknown, you can disable it with this setting.

If admins should only be informed of new long term support (LTS) versions, then set this setting to "lts" (the setting is case-insensitive).

WAGTAIL_ENABLE_WHATS_NEW_BANNER¶

WAGTAIL_ENABLE_WHATS_NEW_BANNER = True

For new releases, Wagtail may show a notification banner on the dashboard that helps users learn more about the UI changes and new features in the release. Users are able to dismiss this banner, which will hide it until the next release. If you’d rather not show these banners, you can disable it with this setting.

PASSWORD_REQUIRED_TEMPLATE¶

PASSWORD_REQUIRED_TEMPLATE = 'myapp/password_required.html'

This is the path to the Django template which will be used to display the “password required” form when a user accesses a private page. For more details, see the Private pages documentation.

DOCUMENT_PASSWORD_REQUIRED_TEMPLATE¶

DOCUMENT_PASSWORD_REQUIRED_TEMPLATE = 'myapp/document_password_required.html'

As above, but for password restrictions on documents. For more details, see the Private pages documentation.

WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_TEMPLATE¶

The basic login page can be customised with a custom template.

WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_TEMPLATE = 'myapp/login.html'

WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_URL¶

Or the login page can be a redirect to an external or internal URL.

WAGTAIL_FRONTEND_LOGIN_URL = '/accounts/login/'

For more details, see the Setting up a login page documentation.

TAGGIT_CASE_INSENSITIVE¶

TAGGIT_CASE_INSENSITIVE = True

Tags are case-sensitive by default (‘music’ and ‘Music’ are treated as distinct tags). In many cases the reverse behaviour is preferable.

TAG_SPACES_ALLOWED¶

TAG_SPACES_ALLOWED = False

Tags can only consist of a single word, no spaces allowed. The default setting is True (spaces in tags are allowed).

TAG_LIMIT¶

TAG_LIMIT = 5

Limit the number of tags that can be added to (django-taggit) Tag model. Default setting is None, meaning no limit on tags.

WAGTAILADMIN_STATIC_FILE_VERSION_STRINGS¶

WAGTAILADMIN_STATIC_FILE_VERSION_STRINGS = False

Static file URLs within the Wagtail admin are given a version-specific query string of the form ?v=1a2b3c4d, to prevent outdated cached copies of JavaScript and CSS files from persisting after a Wagtail upgrade. To disable these, set WAGTAILADMIN_STATIC_FILE_VERSION_STRINGS to False.

WAGTAILAPI_BASE_URL¶

WAGTAILAPI_BASE_URL = 'http://api.example.com/'

Required when using frontend cache invalidation, used to generate absolute URLs to document files and invalidating the cache.

WAGTAILAPI_LIMIT_MAX¶

WAGTAILAPI_LIMIT_MAX = 500

Default is 20, used to change the maximum number of results a user can request at a time, set to None for no limit.

WAGTAILAPI_SEARCH_ENABLED¶

WAGTAILAPI_SEARCH_ENABLED = False

Default is true, setting this to false will disable full text search on all endpoints.

WAGTAILAPI_USE_FRONTENDCACHE¶

WAGTAILAPI_USE_FRONTENDCACHE = True

Requires wagtailfrontendcache app to be installed, indicates the API should use the frontend cache.

WAGTAILFRONTENDCACHE¶

  WAGTAILFRONTENDCACHE = {
      'varnish': {
          'BACKEND': 'wagtail.contrib.frontend_cache.backends.HTTPBackend',
          'LOCATION': 'http://localhost:8000',
      },
  }

See documentation linked above for full options available.

WAGTAILFRONTENDCACHE_LANGUAGES¶

WAGTAILFRONTENDCACHE_LANGUAGES = [l[0] for l in settings.LANGUAGES]

Default is an empty list, must be a list of languages to also purge the urls for each language of a purging url. This setting needs settings.USE_I18N to be True to work.

WAGTAIL_REDIRECTS_FILE_STORAGE¶

WAGTAIL_REDIRECTS_FILE_STORAGE = 'tmp_file'

By default the redirect importer keeps track of the uploaded file as a temp file, but on certain environments (load balanced/cloud environments), you cannot keep a shared file between environments. For those cases you can use the built-in cache to store the file instead.

WAGTAIL_REDIRECTS_FILE_STORAGE = 'cache'

WAGTAILFORMS_HELP_TEXT_ALLOW_HTML¶

WAGTAILFORMS_HELP_TEXT_ALLOW_HTML = True

When true, HTML tags in form field help text will be rendered unescaped (default: False).

WAGTAIL_MODERATION_ENABLED¶

WAGTAIL_MODERATION_ENABLED = True

Changes whether the Submit for Moderation button is displayed in the action menu.

WAGTAIL_WORKFLOW_ENABLED¶

WAGTAIL_WORKFLOW_ENABLED = False

Specifies whether moderation workflows are enabled (default: True). When disabled, editors will no longer be given the option to submit pages to a workflow, and the settings areas for admins to configure workflows and tasks will be unavailable.

WAGTAIL_WORKFLOW_REQUIRE_REAPPROVAL_ON_EDIT¶

WAGTAIL_WORKFLOW_REQUIRE_REAPPROVAL_ON_EDIT = True

Moderation workflows can be used in two modes. The first is to require that all tasks must approve a specific page revision for the workflow to complete. As a result, if edits are made to a page while it is in moderation, any approved tasks will need to be re-approved for the new revision before the workflow finishes. This is the default, WAGTAIL_WORKFLOW_REQUIRE_REAPPROVAL_ON_EDIT = True . The second mode does not require reapproval: if edits are made when tasks have already been approved, those tasks do not need to be reapproved. This is more suited to a hierarchical workflow system. To use workflows in this mode, set WAGTAIL_WORKFLOW_REQUIRE_REAPPROVAL_ON_EDIT = False.

WAGTAIL_FINISH_WORKFLOW_ACTION¶

WAGTAIL_FINISH_WORKFLOW_ACTION = 'wagtail.workflows.publish_workflow_state'

This sets the function to be called when a workflow completes successfully - by default, wagtail.workflows.publish_workflow_state,which publishes the page. The function must accept a WorkflowState object as its only positional argument.

WAGTAIL_WORKFLOW_CANCEL_ON_PUBLISH¶

WAGTAIL_WORKFLOW_CANCEL_ON_PUBLISH = True

This determines whether publishing a page with an ongoing workflow will cancel the workflow (if true) or leave the workflow unaffected (false). Disabling this could be useful if your site has long, multi-step workflows, and you want to be able to publish urgent page updates while the workflow continues to provide less urgent feedback.
