Hello,
I need assistance with a fresh SmartEnd installation.
I installed the full SmartEnd package on my VPS server which is running:
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
OpenLiteSpeed (OLS)
PHP via: /usr/local/lsws/lsphp83/bin/php
File transfers via WinSCP
SSH terminal for commands (root access)
The application loads correctly, and .env is configured successfully. APP_KEY is generated, file permissions are correct, and the web server points to /core/public.
The MySQL connection works, I created the database manually:
CREATE DATABASE smartend CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
However, I am receiving this error when accessing the application:
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table ‘smartend.cache’ doesn’t exist (Connection: mysql, SQL: delete from `cache`)
This means SmartEnd did not create the required database tables.
Here is what I have confirmed:
The /core directory is fully uploaded (app, vendor, public, bootstrap, routes, etc.)
.env is correctly set (DB credentials are correct)
APP_KEY generated successfully
OpenLiteSpeed pointing to /core/public
Database exists, but tables were never created
No installer screen appeared on first load
My question: What is the correct method to initialize the default SmartEnd database tables?
Should SmartEnd automatically run its installer or database migrations on the first run? Or should I manually execute:
php artisan migrate—seed
If SmartEnd has an installation wizard or an initialization script, how can I trigger it again?
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
You’re welcome.
It’s recommended to use the built-in installer to set up Smartend CMS. After uploading the files, the installer should launch automatically when you open the website in your browser. It will run the migration and create all required tables for you. All you need to do is create an empty MySQL database and enter the connection details during the “Database Information” step.
You can watch the installation video guide here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opOapwfiKHg
For clarification, you can also install it manually, and your steps were almost correct. Smartend uses the file option for caching, not the database.
So in your .env file, you should update:
CACHE_STORE=file
You can use the .env file included with the project—it already contains all the required parameters.
After that, you can run the migration or import the database using the SQL file provided in the documentation.
Please refer to the full installation guide here: https://smartend.app/installation
I purchased SmartEnd CMS – Laravel Admin Dashboard with Frontend and Restful API and I have 4 months of support remaining.
However, the download package I receive from Envato only contains the HTML frontend files, not the actual Laravel CMS.
There is no Laravel application, no core/, no app/, no vendor/, no routes/, and the public folder is empty.
My download options only show:
All files & documentation
License certificate (PDF)
License certificate (text)
There is no “Installable Laravel CMS” file, and the ZIP extracted contains only static theme files.
Because of this I cannot install SmartEnd CMS on my server — the backend files and the installer are missing from the package.
Could you please enable the correct CMS package for my purchase or provide the correct CMS source ZIP file?
Thank you.
It seems there may be a mistake, or you might have downloaded the files from the wrong source. The Smartend CMS files you should receive includes a directory named smartend, which contains the full project files.
Please try downloading the script again from your CodeCanyon account.
Here is a screenshot of the files included:
https://prnt.sc/0YJOki23liWQ
You only need to upload the contents of the smartend directory, then open your website in a browser to start the installation wizard.
If you continue to face issues, please contact support directly at:
support@smartend.app
with your website details, and we will assist you with the installation.
Regards
I purchased SmartEnd CMS from CodeCanyon, but the ZIP file I download does not contain the smartend/ directory or any Laravel CMS files. I only receive the HTML frontend demo files.
Could you please provide me with the correct CMS ZIP package, or enable the proper download on my account? https://prnt.sc/0r5ygwTCPnBMI downloaded the item multiple times from CodeCanyon, but the ZIP file I receive does NOT contain the SmartEnd CMS (Laravel) files.
Inside the ZIP, there is:
NO app/
NO vendor/
NO routes/
NO database/
NO bootstrap/
NO artisan
core/public is empty
Only HTML frontend demo files are included.
This means the ZIP provided to my account is incorrect.
Please provide the correct SmartEnd CMS (Laravel) full installable package, or enable the correct file in my downloads.

I want change my domain.
If you want to move the website to another domain or hosting, follow these steps:
1. Move all website files to the new domain.
2. Create the website’s MySQL database and import the existing database backup.
3. Open the /core/.env file and update the APP_URL and database connection details. If you are working on the latest version of Smartend 12, You will need also to change the LOCAL_UPLOADS_PATH to the new one.
4. Finally Clear the website cache by deleting the following files:
/core/bootstrap/cache/config.php /core/bootstrap/cache/routes-v7.phpAfter completing these steps, the website should work normally on the new domain.

I changed the password in FrontEnd, but can’t remember it. How do I retrieve/reset one? There is no button “I forgot password”. This should be fixed. Also no Register option for clients etc.
Hello,
The “Forgot Password” button appears only when the SMTP mail settings are properly configured, as the system needs to send you a reset email.
Please contact support via email at support@smartend.app To help you resetting the password directly through the database.
Hello, I want to install SmartEnd — everything works fine, but in the admin area, when I try to enter the license code, the site crashes and shows this error: “This site can’t be reached.”
Hello,
To connect successfully to the license server, make sure both cURL and allow_url_fopen are enabled on your server.
If you don’t have permission to enable these settings, please contact your hosting provider and ask them to enable allow_url_fopen for you.
If the issue persists, please reach out to us directly via email at support@smartend.app, including your website and hosting details so we can assist or activate it manually if needed.
Sir, I want to remove the category from the URL of the post but I also want to create the category.
https://prnt.sc/B_s4IX9zncDrHello,
This cannot be done directly — it requires custom development to modify the route structure.
If you’d like to inquire about customization, please contact support at support@smartend.app.
Sir, after updating to the new version, all my Hindi-language URLs have changed. And the URL slugs in new posts are not the same as before. This is incorrect.
URL before update – https://emitra.co.in/आवेदन-फॉर्म/ई-मित्र-फॉर्म/नया-राशन-कार्ड-आवेदन-फॉर्म-एपीएल
URL after update- https://emitra.co.in/आवदन-फरम/ई-मतर-फरम-नय-रशन-करड-आवदन-फरम-एपएल
The URL is fine now. I’ve restored a backup of the site, and I’ve provided it to you for your understanding. Please tell me the solution.
Hello, You’re welcome.
By default, updating to the latest version does not modify any of your existing URLs.
However, if you used the “Repair URLs” feature in the SEO settings (https://prnt.sc/SaarvYj4uvnF), it could have caused the changes you noticed.
This feature rebuilds all page URLs based on your current SEO settings and the updated slug creation strategy in the new version. So, if you ran this service, it likely updated your URLs accordingly.
I haven’t made any changes whatsoever.
Sir, please try it yourself. I’m not lying.
https://prnt.sc/cTsyBWz6BE6DSorry, I didn’t mean to say you were lying — we’re simply discussing the matter to better understand the situation, which could help clarify something for me or explain the results you’re seeing.
I’ll test it in more detail shortly.
Just one quick question: what version was your website running before the update?
I’m currently using the software version that was updated before October 5, 2025, according to your site. I mean, ever since I purchased it, I’ve been updating it periodically whenever new versions arrive. You’ve probably understood by now. If I use the backup version, the Hindi URLs (slugs) on the site work fine, but now, after the update, only the Hindi URLs (slugs) are corrupted. The URLs (slugs) of my old posts have changed. And even when I write a new post, the Hindi URLs (slugs) aren’t working properly.
You can try adding Hindi language yourself and test it with your new version, you will understand it yourself.
I’ll review it and get back to you as soon as possible.
Sir, I am waiting.. Cheers
I’ve reviewed the slug you mentioned in action. In the new Smartend 12 update, the system automatically converts slugs to the new UTF character format when you update a topic’s SEO settings (I hadn’t clarified this earlier).
If you prefer to keep the old behavior where slugs remain unchanged, you can modify the helper file as follows:
/core/app/Helpers/Helper.phpThen replace the StringToSlug method with this one.
static function StringToSlug($string = "")
{
if ($string != "") {
$separator = "-";
$string = @strtolower($string);
$string = @str_replace(["/","&","?"], [$separator,"-",""], $string);
$string = @trim($string);
$re = "/(\\s|\\" . $separator . ")+/mu";
return preg_replace($re, $separator, $string);
}
return "";
}
Regards
I’ve tested SmartEnd CMS on two of my websites for over a month, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best CMS solutions I’ve ever used. The system is powerful, stable, and developed by a truly professional team. I was amazed to see how quickly my pages started ranking higher on Google search results.
When I faced an installation issue, the developer personally fixed it and set everything up perfectly. Their support is always fast, kind, and solution-oriented — even making small custom adjustments beyond their usual responsibilities.
If you’re looking for a high-quality, reliable CMS backed by a strong and dedicated team, SmartEnd CMS is the right choice for you. I give it 5 out of 5 stars — and if there were a 100 rating scale, I’d give it 100!
The best part is that you’re not just buying software — you’re gaining a trustworthy support team that truly cares about your success.
SmartEnd CMS yazılımını iki farklı sitemde 1 aydan uzun süre test ettim ve gönül rahatlığıyla onaylıyorum. Yazılım son derece güçlü, stabil ve profesyonel bir ekip tarafından geliştiriliyor. Google arama sonuçlarında sayfalarımın kısa sürede yükseldiğini görmek beni gerçekten şaşırttı.
Kurulum sırasında yaşadığım sorunu geliştirici ekip bizzat çözdü; yazılımı siteme kurup tüm ayarları eksiksiz yaptılar. Teknik destek her zaman hızlı, ilgili ve çözüm odaklıydı. Hatta destek kapsamı dışında kalan ufak düzenlemeleri bile beni kırmadan yaptılar.
Eğer kaliteli, güçlü ve arkasında duran bir ekip tarafından geliştirilen bir CMS arıyorsanız, SmartEnd CMS tam size göre. Ben 5 üzerinden 5 puan veriyorum — hatta puanlama 100 olsaydı, 100 tam puan verirdim!
Bu işin en güzel yanı, sadece bir yazılım satın almıyorsunuz — aynı zamanda arkasında duran, güvenilir bir destek ekibi kazanıyorsunuz.
Thank you for your great review.

Hello,
I have successfully installed SmartEnd on my hosting and the system is running fine. However, I’m having issues with the language files.
Even though I have created and edited the Turkish translation files under: `/core/resources/lang/tr/` and also set `’locale’ => ‘tr’` in `config/app.php`, many parts of the admin panel (menu names, modules, and buttons) still remain in English or missing.
I also checked the database tables (`languages`, `phrases`, `frontend_texts`) but it seems the Turkish translations are not being loaded by the system.
Could you please confirm: 1. Which exact path the system reads its language files from? 2. How can I make the Turkish language the default and fully applied across the admin panel?
Thank you for your help!
Hello,
You’re welcome.
You must add the new language you need from the dashboard — this means you should create the language first inside the system so that Smartend CMS can automatically generate all the necessary language fields and files for it. Without doing this, the system won’t recognize or display the new language properly.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Go to Dashboard → System Settings → Local Settings.
2. Click Add New Language https://prnt.sc/JbwZzEb0FQjy
3. Enter the language name, short code, select the flag, and click Add https://prnt.sc/xt1DkL7yUeTt
This process will automatically create all the necessary language fields and files.
After that, you can edit and update the translations for the new language directly from the dashboard or from files as you preferred.
How to build service request forms and and tracking page to track service request
Hello,
You can find a detailed guide on how to create and manage public forms here:
https://smartend.app/docs/modules-forms-management/creating-and-managing-custom-forms
All form submissions will be received directly in the dashboard, and you can also enable email notifications for new submissions.
However, please note that there is currently no tracking feature available for form submissions or related services.

Dear smart4ds team,
I have bought the Smart CMS web application. I want to know if it has audit history feature inside like checking history of what admin has changed in the system. If this is possible please let me know
Hello,
Smartend CMS does not currently include a feature for saving change history.
Hello, When will the new version be updated? When will the new version be released? I kindly ask you to provide us with some clarification on this matter. Thank you
Sorry for the delay. The release was originally planned for two weeks ago, but due to an emergency this month, the update has been delayed. I’ll do my best to finalize and publish it as soon as possible. Regards,
Hello.. There is an option to select an image from the custom field options. When selecting the Add Image field, it only selects one image. Is it possible to select multiple images instead of one?
Hello.
There is no multiple-image select field available, and this cannot be done through custom fields.
If you want to add multiple images to a topic, you can use the Additional Images tab. This option can also be enabled for any module from System Modules if it’s not already active.
