Thread: will not publish changes to my index page

After makeing changes to my index page, save and then publish the changes have not taken place on the website?

The first thing to always do in this case is get your changed page up in a browser, hit 'ctrl' and F5 two or three times to refresh it. You should see your changes then. It's just your page cacheing

Thanks I have tried that. The changes are not on other computers as well!

Try publishing again and this time select "change all files".

If the above does not work, open your Blue FTP , connect, goto "public_html"
and delete the orignal "index".html and then republish your page again.

Will do, Thank you

????????? What ???????


Nonesense.... if your pages are not changing then you are doing something wrong. A lot of people think that when the green bar completes that the page has published, but read what it says in the publishing box as sometimes it says 'Publish failed'

also, check you don't have two pages in two different extensions. i.e. index.html and index.php.

The error is with the user not the builder. Deleting a page in your server account is NOT the answer here!

Well, it says publish successfull but changes have not happened. I published changes last night without any problems, but today the changes are not taking effect. www.ringunion.com

Tell me what page the changes you made to are on, and what those changes were please.

I made changes to my index page, and I changed two pictures

To be honest with you, the way you have built ther site I am confused to exactly what page IS your index page.. Maybe the server is too?

Okay, what do you mean the way I built the site. I used blue voda builder and solohost. I did not have publishing problems last night on the same page. I know about a year ago there was an email that came out from BV about if a page doesn't publish we were to do something with the HTML. Since I have upgraded my computer and lost the email. I also transfered files from my old computer to this one and as a result I could not save to existing pages.

Which one did you use, BV or soho? you can't use both?

Well I started with BV then started using Soho. The only BV page I am using is the index Page, which links to my soho website. I did not know any other way to make the transition. I deleted some files and renamed my index and republished and it worked.

thank you by the way. Are you fimilar with Soho?

I am not an expert on soho no, but I am pretty certain you can't use both, it's one or the other and that is where your problem lays.

well I changed the Index name and deleted some other files and republished and it worked thank you!

Come back later cos I think Karen (Our Soho Expert) will have something to say about this, I still think you are creating issues for yourself by using both the way you have but I could be wrong.. I'll show her the post when she's around and she'll let you know.

You cannot have bv and soho in the same folder.. otherwise one or both will have problems and errors. Only an advanced user should attempt to do both...Most likely in deleting "SOME FILES" your soho will now not work either..

So is this about soho or bv..cuz quite frankly i dont have time to decipher this?
