Hello.

I am having problems with the updated version with regards doing changes to a siteand wondering if you can help please. Image attached:

I have created a new page for a site then copied the information from another page in the current site to get all the same settings and formation onto the new page. I have then changed some of the text but when I go to Preview none of the changes have taken.

I look forward to your help.

Kind regards

Hi Aleksej.

Tried that but it still didn't work - I notice that at the very top after the W5 logo are the number 127.0.0.1:8080/and the page name? image attached.

Could this be the problem and is there any way this can be removed please.

Kind regards

Ross

"Tried that but it still didn't work - I notice that at the very top after the W5 logo are the number 127.0.0.1:8080/and the page name?" - this is normal.

Try exporting the site to disk or hosting.

Thanks for the comments Aleksej and Steve. 

The pages looked ok when I viewed them from the disk, so I will try and finish the site tomorrow and load it online to see if it works o.k. from there.

I have tried deleting a page and starting again but that did not work. What I am wanting is 6 pages that are set out much the same but only really differ in some of the text and photos and are to be hidden on the menu but linked to a photo on the Home page. I did try copying the page from the Sitemap Creation page and have loaded them as hidden and the original one works fine but the other do not on the preview screen.

Will keep you informed on the results, or if you have more ideas please let me know.

Cheers

Ross

Hi guys.

Have loaded the website to go live - https://designacomnz.co.nz/ 

As mentioned in your comments I deleted the page then tried adding a new page and named it the same as I did in the first instance it did exactly the same as it was doing previously not load upon either the preview or the live site, but...when I renamed that page to 18mx3m it showed correctly on the preview. 

Attached is an image of the page concerned in the preview - same page but just renamed.

Is there a limit to the number of menu items you can have or hidden pages?

Cheers

Ross

Hi Ross,

I'm not sure about what could be happened, because there's no limit for hidden pages. I could think that it could depends on uploading problem, so the page file could not overwrite the old on. You solved just changing the page file name. Does it work locally or have you tried pasting the copied page into a new project?

Thanks

Hi Steve

Thanks again for your reply.

I have just copied and pasted a page to a new project as you suggested and it looks like it has worked. Thanks I will keep going with that later and will update you when I see if it works for the other pages as well.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards

Ross
