Newbie question about navigation

RapidWeaver Classic General
1

Hello,

I have just moved over from Windows to Mac so I could use Rapidweaver. I have created all my pages for a new site but, when I preview oily the page I’m working on shows in the navigation bar?

Any help much appreciated

Many thanks
Graham

Hi there and welcome to the forums.

Can you see the pages you’ve created in a list down the left hand side when you switch to Edit mode?

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your swift reply.

Yes, the pages are all showing in edit mode

There is a option box you need to check if you want pages to show in the main nav bar. Up in the very top bar next to “publish” on right side note the “Inspector.” Click the larger circle “i” and your page inspector will show on right side of window. Verify that “show in Navigation” is checked. This option box determines what shows in the main nav.

The name of the Theme you’re using might help us to solve it.

Hi Dave,

I’m using the Offroad theme at. present.

Thanks

Just tried a test site with 4 pages using Offroad and I can’t make the menu items disappear unless the check box is unticked - sorry! Maybe some screen shots might help?

You don’t have the pages set to draft do you?

11

Ah, will check that thank you

No, no pages are set to draft

If you can close RW then access the RW project file, zip it then Dropbox it I’ll take a look (my email in my profile)

Hi Dave,

I’ll get that done today and many thanks.

Got it - this is what I see when previewed in a browser.

Made a new page called Test, shows in Menu, from Home page when Test is clicked it goes to the Test page.

Is there something I’m either not seeing or understanding about your problem?

Hi Dave,

Thank you very much for your time.

I can’t understand why it won’t show in preview in RW? I must admit that I haven’t previewed in Safari as yet.

Should I always preview in a browser then?

Thank you again sir for your time

No, Preview should work in RW, Command+P from within RW will open your browser and preview.

I would strongly suggest you also look at investing in the Stacks plugin, it’ll turbocharge your RW and website building, there are plenty of free Stacks from developers on here to get you going and you can buy extra Stacks to give you specific features at very reasonable prices.

It does preview in Safari with Command+P great but not within RW. Am I being a prat and it only previews the site fully in a browser?

What would you recommend as the overall stacks app for building a complete website that is easy to learn?

Many thanks
Graham
