A developer asked me to provide a test page. As this is the first time I’ve done anything like this, I found and following some instructions on line and have published my site with the test page.
Whilst preparing the test pages, I’ve done two, I found that unless I named the Meta Data folder first word ‘test’ or similar, the page can’t be see in the browser (Safari).
For one test page, I named the folder ‘testing’ (without the '); the other ‘test blank’. (ditto)
I had in mind to provide a test page of an existing page (where the problem that the test is for doesn’t exist) but naming the folder ‘existingtest’ doesn’t work when I enter that /address on my browser. Would i be right in thinking the folder name must start with ‘test’?
Testing should be fine, “test blank” shouldn’t be used. Folder names should contain no spaces or special characters other than - or _. It’s also best to use all lower case.
You Don’t need to show in navigation to publish.
existingtest should work fine. What are you typing into the browser? Do you have a URL to share with us? When you Publish did you get any errors?
I’d rather not share the UR: the pages contain commercially-sensitive content for a new free service I shall be offering shortly to my clients and other site visitors.
The two test pages that I have provided to the developer both work on typing in the browser. It’s only the existingtest page that doesn’t. When preparing the existingtest page I did the same, except for the folder name, as for the other two test pages. I suppose it might be a publishing glitch so I could republish the entire site - approx 1200 pages - but don’t have time now.
I didn’t imagine my question would be hard to answer for a knowledgeable but evidently it is. As I’m not that interested, it was out of curiousity, thank you all for your comments.
