Oh, Doug! Thank you, so much for checking in again!!!
I am going to try again to publish to a local file. But, after reading your note several times, I’m just about ready to take the drastic step of killing out all my files and republishing to RW.
I did call Network Solutions and spent a long time on the phone with them and didn’t get much help. They changed all my settings back to what they were when I started this whole odyssey, but it didn’t help.
Their techies are the ones who had altered the settings in the first place. Then, after I tried to publish again, they told me that the site, in fact, WAS publishing. So, I cleared my cache yet again, as per their instructions, and when I checked page-3/page-5 to see if the revised page had published, I found that it STILL did not publish. (I didn’t check the other revisions, figuring that if one didn’t work, the others wouldn’t either.)
The tech support guy did find the Rapid Weaver manual, which I did not have and could not figure out how to get, and they referred me to a section on publishing directly to Filezilla, which I am going to try to do in a few minutes.
They did NOT suggest that I go to my site with NS file manager, though I did call up the file manager and look at it. I clicked on some of the files. I could tell there were duplicate files there, and they included some of the files that I had renamed as late as this morning – as a result of the suggestions of some of you – but, not knowing how to call up the individual pages to look at them there (is that even possible using File Manager or FileZilla?) I couldn’t be certain that the revisions that I had entered into the software had actually “taken” or been saved and published in those files.
What I mean is that I made the changes in the software, but maybe there is a problem with RW by which even though I’m revising the site, the revisions are not saving.
I know that every time RW publishes it also “saves” and I’m going to assume that there is a command that is given when you publish a file that saves it at the same time. ( Anyway, the revised files were revised at least a week ago, so I know that over the course of the past week they were saved.) I cleared my cache AGAIN, but the new changes are not showing up on the site I see online… Most of the men I talk to at Network Solutions (except for one or two) are extremely impatient and eager to get to the next call.
Thanks for the new suggestions.
I see that you can delete files in File Manager by selecting files and then going to this menu and hitting “delete.” But how do I know which files I’m deleting? I mean, what is the dif between Styled-9 and Page-9 and why are there two pages? Do I delete the Index page? The photos folder?
If I republish with RW, will they also show up here – the the Network Solutions File Manager again? They should, shouldn’t they?
A lot of the type overwrites other type, but I don’t think I need to know what it says, exactly. I guess that since I have the publication settings, even if I delete the entire site, I always should be able to republish, so I haven’t really lost anything, even though the concept is a scary one. (I’m imagining that someone would go to the site that is up and not see ANYTHING at all, and then if I cannot republish anything, there will be no site up at all.)
I am going to look at the RW manual, and then I think I’m ready to just risk everything (the published site) and remove all the recent files from the File Manager.
Odd – I just pasted below the contents of the File Manager and the jumbled mass of letters that had been all crunched together (near the right margin) are visible when I paste them here. So, they are readable here if not online.
Anyway, wish me luck and if you have any additional information that you think would help me, I’m eager to hear it.
Actually I do not see all everything below. Some of the files, I think, are contained in a different folder. For example, when I look at Filezilla, I see a regular Page-X and then a separate Styled-X. (It looks like all pages have a regular edition and a styled edition.
Maybe that will be explained when I read the RW manual.
