Dear Ad Koks,
please open a single post for each request.
You will be able to import your Evo 8 project into your Evo 9. Please make sure that your Evo 8 is up to date before exporting with all the files and import the project after reading the following document: http://www.websitex5.com/download/v9/conversion_en.pdf
WARNING: Here is something that Incomedia have not put in their conversion notes or informed any one even though it is a serious issue.
Page Names - In version 8, Page Names created under Plan Website that included a space within the name (e.g. How to Find Us) were converted to underscores when generated as url - www.yourwebsite.com/how_to_find_us.html.
In version 9 spaces in Page Names (now generated under Sitemap Creation) are converted into a hyphen when generated as a url - www.yourwebsite.com/how-to-find-us.html.
This obviously has consequences if your visitors have bookmarked addresses or other sites linked your site, not to mention issues with Google Stats.
The hyphen is generated by default but can be changed to an Underscore manually. However, it would have been better if Incomedia had generated an Underscore by default and allowed a manual change to hyphen.
Hi Tony, what you say is correct.
This has been done because google uses hyphens instead of underscores therefore we had to change things. You can if you wish, change it back into underscore in step 2 - open the page properties - select the ''general'' tab - select the ''file name'' and change the hyphen in underscore then export your website online again.
