refresh your browser with F5 or crl-F5.
See if that helps.

no that does not do anything
Derek, when you go to step 4 do you see this?
or do you see this??
By default and menu object in WX5 will display the page names as shown in map (unless you modify each page title through properties)
If you map looks like the second screenshot, please add a new menu object into the header, make it big enough to accomodate the text and let us know what you see?
If the preview looks correct, please do a full upload to the web rather than a new and changed upload.

Hello there thanks for your help.
I do see this then ive changed the page number to page titles which is visible and works fine when i click on rhe pages etc. All the information is there for every page i created untill i upload the files and all i see on the internet is my home page and when i click on the menu bar all i get is page 123 etc and when i click on the page numbers my website pages are not even there. I find it very strange because everything is there as it should till i upload it then nothing only my home page...
Regards Derek
Could you supply us with a link?
Have you checked if you have both an index.php and an index.html - this could cause some trouble.

Tag 'Description': the field where you’ll enter the description that will be inserted as the value of the Description meta tag in the Page's HTML code. This text is generally used by Search Engines to create the snippets seen in the SERP (Search Engine Results Page): to be effective, it should be concise and meaningful.
<Description> metatag
This is often displayed along with the title in the SERPs, and statistics confirm that clicks on the top rankings are influenced by the description and how this manages to attract a visitor's attention.
A good description must:
•be a complete sentence;•contain the most important keyword and some of the less important ones;•be coherent with the page and not the same for the entire website;•attract a visitor's attention and give relevant information.
****
Tag 'Keywords': the field where you will enter the keywords (each separated with a comma) that will be inserted as the values for the Keywords meta tag in the Page’s HTML code. Search Engines will use them for indexing.
The choice of keywords
By "keyword" we mean a word or group of words that the navigator may enter as a search string. To choose the most appropriate keywords you can work as follows:
1.Write an initial list of words that are pertinent to the topics in your website. Try to imagine what words a visitor would type to look for what you are proposing. Try and find out what keywords are used by other, similar websites, and with what results. 2.Analyze the statistics provided by certain search engines to identify the most common keywords.3.Use Google™'s analytic tools to increase your list of keywords.
****
This is all from the help file, you can google if you still have questions,
like:

or

I can't tell it any better then the info that is already in the helpdesk or on internet.
You know the site and it's purpose so fill it in with the best possible words / text.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Andre.
Can you help with this question then i should be ok with everything.
If you look at my snippit attachment. Should i tick all the boxes and should i keep the page title as its says for instance home page.?
If you could help me with this then im fine with everything
Thanks again Andre
Hi Derek.
It is entirely up to you. You might choose whether to change the page's name according to your own liking since it will make little to no difference to SEO in general. If you wish, you might want to try and specify a more detailed title for what the homepage's content is
Try it out and see for yourself
Let me know here should you need further help with this
Thank you
Stefano

Do i need to tick all the boxes in page properties for google to take a snippet of my page discrition , or is page properties an additional page for google to take another snippet as well as the website pages. how does it work exactly.

Derek
You don't need to tag anything, just fill in a nice descrition, see some examples in the last link I gave.
And keywords for your site.
Leave the rest for x5 to take care of, that's why you bought it for.
How it works? Well search engines take up the information and use it to display it to people that search for the items you have filled in.
