Hi, friends. Just started to work with Elements. When I try to preview or publish myweb locally, I can only preview a specific page but not shift between my homepage and others using the navigation, even after publishing it locally, when I run index file in the folder, the same happened. I did try my best to help myself but I failed. Someone please help me. NI ---

Hi @neuron1, I believe it’s because you’re using Chinese characters for your pages, try adding a english slug name on your folder publishing settings. ![Screenshot 2026-02-11 at 13.21.43](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/4/64ec1a6a1650ddd2e8df9105157f1d22454f5e23.png) ---

Great！Thanks a lot. I tried your way. It works if I changed all tiles from Chinese to English. It works well even you change only one into English. Then, my dear fried, another problem comes. Not all my Chinese fellows read English. I was user RW 8. It is a Chinese user friendly app. 😉 ---

For the homepage, I could not use this method as you see the Folder is inactive. ![截屏2026-02-13 00.20.10](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/a/ba13bbe1236a85ddde116bb9a23e58a8a23f05f3.png) > [@weaver](#): > > I believe it’s because you’re using Chinese characters for your pages, try adding a english slug name on your folder publishing settings. ---

Thanks， Weaver. According to your suggestion, my problem has already been solved. I also went back to my old RW 8 and had a look. The setting is similar to your suggestion. NI
