IIs there any dangerous?

Thank you very much

George, if WX5 V9 Compact supports "Export the Project" as an iwzip the process will be fairly straight forward. To take advantage of responsive design you will need a minimum of WX5 Evolution 13.

However, much has changed (eg Flash is no longer supported so slide shows and galleries may need to be recreated).

Whenever I have had this task (too many times) I have always got better results copying and pasting the content of the existing website into a brand new template in the latest version.

You could see how simple and effective this is by downloading the trial and doing just a couple of pages. Be warned that if you intend to purchase EVO, you must download the EVO trial (if you download the PRO trial, anything you do cannot be opened in Evolution).

Have fun!

Thank you for your answer.

First of all supports iwzip. I understand that is what we want.

Please give me the link with the evo trial. If I test it, is that live? I mean does that influence the site in live? Can I test it with internet connection out?

The problem with flash, I have already that. Wil I have problem with simply pictures?

Sorry for the many questions

George, the link to the trial software is http://www.websitex5.com/en/demo-evolution.html

Nothing you do on your PC will affect your current website unless you upload to the web (which would be difficult because I do not believe that feature is enabled in the demo). As with Version 9, you can develop your project and do local previews.

You will have no problems with simple pictures, and the structure of the html5 slideshows and galleries is exactly as for the flash slideshows in V9, I just don't know if they will import.

Enjoy.

Thanks your useful information. I will download and test it.

Before it, I want one more answer to this if you please.

The pages of my project create links with specfic url. My visitors find them through searching engines like google. If I transfer them to the new 13. will these urls be changed? I want these links of the PAGES to remain the same so my visitors can find me without problems

Thank you

Thanks but I Know these instructions. These are not answer to my last question.

"The pages of my project create links with specfic url. My visitors find them through searching engines like google. If I transfer them to the new 13. will these urls be changed? I want these links of the PAGES to remain the same so my visitors can find me without problems"

Please when you have time answer it.

George, if the page names in the project remain the same (if imported they will, but if you recreate the site then this will be up to you), then pre-existing pages in google search will still be found.

If my memory serves me correctly, there was an issue with the conversion from V8 to V9 when blank spaces in page names were changed from _ to - , but this is long ago.  Seeing as you are moving from V9 to V13 there should be no issues.
