Frequently asked questions

What are the server requirements for KEYDAL?

PHP 8.1 or newer, MySQL 8 / MariaDB 10.6+, at least 2 GB of RAM and an SSD are recommended. It runs on shared hosting too; a VPS is recommended for high-traffic sites. See the “System requirements” page for details.

Can I migrate the articles from my existing site to KEYDAL?

Yes. The import tool moves articles, categories, images and authors from WordPress, Joomla and custom databases. The old URL structure is preserved with 301 redirects.

Are agency articles published automatically?

Agency feeds arrive as drafts by default. You can define per-category auto-publish rules, or require editor approval instead.

Is there mobile app support?

KEYDAL serves content to iOS and Android apps through its REST API. A ready-made mobile app template is available separately; push notifications are sent via OneSignal.

How many sites does a license cover?

A standard license covers a single domain. Contact the sales team for multi-site and reseller licenses.
