Today after (and this continues from previous versions) 8.2.1 I made a small 4 word change to one page of a site I manage (www.bittersweetestatesales.com). When I hit the public button 104 files were uploaded to the site!
There have been no other changes since I last made a 3 word change and that day over 75 files we’re uploaded.
For the life of me I cannot see any reason that this is happening. This type of activity began with 8.1.7 and a MacOS update to Mojave.
Also, Elixir Graphic’s Foundry, which is a framework that comes with a bunch of stacks, (assuming you own stacks, if not that’s also an additional purchase), which allows you build out and design sites.
