Hi everyone,

I have decided to switch my old RapidWeaver site to Elements. I already published another site with a different website link with Elements and liked it, so I duplicated the whole site and changed the content, background etc.

Now, when I published this new site to my host and open the web page, it shows me this error on my website without showing any pages :

```auto
var RWElements={};

RWElements.rwDF40D1C0_F129_450E_9A21_640012E4DB03 = {};
RWElements.rwDF40D1C0_F129_450E_9A21_640012E4DB03 = (function(componentId) {
    
console.log(`Running JS for element with id: `)

return componentId;})(RWElements.rwDF40D1C0_F129_450E_9A21_640012E4DB03);

```

Could it be that duplicating the site’s address caused this error?

I found my first copied website’s address in the .htaccess and in the template and changed that, but unfortunately, that didn’t solve the problem. I couldn’t find anything else I could correct.

I have deleted the old site entirely on the host site and republished it, but nothing works. In the meantime, I re-uploaded my old site to have something online.

Here is the link to the cloud: elementsapp://downloadDocument/KyMfhDaKbMFx

Could someone hint at what I did wrong?

Thanks so much

Do you have server access? You could delete everything and reload a new fresh copy

Warning ⚠ if you have other addons or stores or forums or other things Do NOT do what I’m suggesting…

What kind of website?

Thanks, I have done that several times already. I deleted my old site completely from the server and uploaded the new one, but my site is still not visible 😕

It’s a simple website, nothing special… could it maybe be because I uploaded several external YouTube resources? Just thinking out loud…

Hi @tati

Site seems to be loading fine when I upload it and test on my end..

 ![site-loading-fine](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/f/5fce7d3121c937e2169dbfc2b32a48127a02ac86.jpeg)

Can you upload it again so I can see any errors that might be popping up when it’s loading from your web hosting provider?

Thanks, I found the problem in the meantime.

I had index.php instead of index.html

Don’t know how that happened…

Thank you so much for looking into this.
