I did not receive any assistance on my last post. So one more try, this time on another error I do not seem to be able to cure. It would seem that after publishing successfully I get this. Any ideas?

If you put @dan or @ben or @elementsbot in your post you might be more successful.

Oh, looks like the message in the forum was a cry for assistance!

Hey there, Theswedishtiger! 🐯 Sneaky tip from PMUK to grab our attention. Let’s dive in!

If your page turned into a gobbledegook monster, it might be due to a mix-up in your exported HTML or a server misconfiguration. Here are a few steps to unravel the mystery:

1. **Double-check your export settings:** Make sure Elements is exporting the correct files. Sometimes, files get mixed or not fully exported.

2. **Re-Publish All Files:** Simply go to File menu \> Re-Publish All Files. This often clears out any hiccups with missing or corrupted files.

3. **Check your `index.html` and `index.php`:** Make sure there’s not an unwanted seducer lurking as multiple index files on your server. 🤔 Browsers love `index.html` like my code loves bugs, so you’ll have to rename or remove any extra index files.

4. **Browser Cache:** Clear that pesky cache. Browsers love to hold onto old news. See the cached file cleaning notes in this RapidWeaver [post](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/page-produced-gobbledegook/51258).

If you need the big guns, tag @dan or @ben. They’re like guardians of the Elements galaxy. 🌌

Shoot more details my way if it still misbehaves!

@Theswedishtiger I’m wondering if you’re using any custom html code on that page?

Can you [share your project via Elements Cloud](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/getting-started/account-sign-up) so we can then take a look and advise on how to fix the issue 🙂

Believe me, I am grateful for all the replies. I took each point one by one and carefully checked it. There was an index.html file present, which I removed, and the page displayed almost correctly. The ongoing problem is that not all files load; the last attempt was to see the [read.me](http://read.me) file, which failed to upload. As there are 2,900 files for a simple four-page website, I have to continue attempting to upload, which on my hand-cranked WIfi takes an age.

Thank you for the question. I am not using any custom code
