Blog not publishing

Hello!
When I publish my website to a local folder, my "blog" section appears, and is in the navigation bar, and everything is all good. When I publish it, though, it refuses to appear at all.
Would there be an explanation for this? Thanks for any and all help!

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Why does my Blog not publish with the rest of my new pages and photos????

Much more work was done on my iWebsite today and I even made a rudimentary beginning of a blog.
QUESTION:
Why does my blog not publish?
Lorna in Southern California

James, the blog is on Safari now. I am embarrassed to say that I had already forgotten that I needed to make a link to the Site Menu. Since I had done all of that in a tear of activity previously, it's as though the process did not stick in my head. Sort of like forgetting to plug in the computer. 8-(
I did not even realize what I had done wrong until I made a hyperlink from that site to my site menu and checked to see that the blog became visible. It's disconcerting to think that this kind of thing could happen to me again. 8-(
I would be very interested in seeing people's blogs and how they use them. I've seen blogs used as news reports, blogs with music videos, blogs with photos. I earlier thought that a blog was like a diary: Words only.

Navigation bar and blog, not publishing

would anyone know why the navigation bar and the blog are NOT publishing to .Mac / my personal domain? I sent a request to the support but I have not heard back from anyone.
A little lost.
Scott

Gang,
The NAV bar seems to be an issue with some Theme's and some Browsers. In the 08 iWeb they went to an XML scipts method over the hard coded method used in the 06 version of iWeb. You can see the feed.xml in the root of your site and a Scripts folder with the info and stuff in it.
Basically I found that older versions of Netscape showed a single DOT on the NAV bar line but the new version and Firefox worked fine as did Safari and PC browsers.
Others with other Theme's have had different problems and I had different problems with text and such.
The thing that really scares me is that if I bring my site up under Dreamweaver it comes up all screwy.
All's I want is a simple web site developer package that works.
Thanks
Gordon

IWeb with Blog not publishing

After upgrading to the Mobileme, I attempted to publish a new blog entry.
iWeb failed to recognise the login id, and my mac would even logout from Mobileme.
As per suggestions from this forum, once I un-ticked 'Comments' from my blog, my website is able to publish as per normal. Hope this info helps you until they fix the mobileme + iweb

I can report my iWeb is back to normal and I can post the comments button and all.
Its been off for 6-7 days.

Blog not published

Dear all,
My pages work out fine, EXECPT that my blog refuses to be publisged. Everything seems to go ok, but after publishing the other pages are fine, but my blog is still untouched, the way it was before I wrote anything. What is going on, is there something I should be doing differently from publishing "normal" (non-blog iweb) pages?
(http:://web.mac.com/jari.siironen)

Thanks for the answer. I checked again this morning - and it no is as it shoud be. It seems that sometimes it takes some time before the actual changes do take place - or something.

Queue up But Not Publish Blog Entries?

Is there any way in iWeb to queue up blog entries but not publish them until their designated dates?
For example, say I prepared blog entries for the month ahead. When I publish my iWeb site, these will all be published with future dates on them. Is there a way to not publish individual entries but still have them ready to publish when their dates come up?
Also, is there any way to adjust the number of blog entries that appear on the main blog page?

Iweb site working great but blog not showing in Google Search

Not sure how to get my iweb blog to show up in Google searches. I am using iweb seo tool, and all my other pages on the site are searchable on Google, but the blog entries are not. It's been a month or more. Is this something that's happening on the blog pages only because I"m using my ftp and not publishing through mobileme? Not necessary that I have comments, but I would like the blog entries to be searchable. Thanks!

iWeb SEO Tool allows you to add the title tag and meta descritption for the Google entry...

To get the spiders to this info you need to give them a sitemap with all the URLs to crawl. Blog HTML files are buried in a sub folder so you need to provide the path.

Projects first created in Windows are now not publishing correctly from a Mac

I've been using the Windows version of Captivate for months without issues, putting together a large number of HTML5 courses, non-responsive. Lots of custom javascript via the 'Execute JavaScript' action for smartshapes, etc.
I just purchased a new Macbook Pro and then purchased a subscription license for Captivate. Now my cptx files that were working fine when opened and published from Windows Cp are very not publishing correctly - the javascript does not execute, etc. Everything *appears* fine within Captivate but I get issues upon preview/publish.
Thank goodness I have the 30 days to cancel the subscription and get a refund...but before I do that - has anyone else tried switching to a Mac and run into problems with Captivate projects?
Both machines have 8.01 installed. The only thing I can think of is, after installing 8.0 via the subscription download, I then did the 'Check for updates' and it went and downloaded and installed the 8.01 update. When I did this on Windows I followed the directions on a blog post somewhere (sorry - I forget the name!) that stressed deleting some directories on the machine first before running the update. I assumed the subscription files would be fixed/patched....

After struggling with this last night I took a look again this morning and narrowed down and corrected the problem. Basically, this is what happened to cause the issue and how I resolved it. Hopefully it helps others in the future.
Steps
Create project in Windows version of Cp (I was using version 8.01).
For my client's requirements, which are quite unique and complex compared to the typical Cp project, custom quiz questions/scoring had to be developed. Since these are HTML5 (non-responsive) courses, and Javascript is the fastest/most efficient way to do this, I used Javascript extensively for quizzes via the 'Execute Javascript' action. So for quiz questions, each answer is simply a smartshape (transparent, with answer text in it) that triggers the 'Execute Javascript' on click. In addition, on many of the quiz slides there are Edge Animate/HTML5 interactions embedded.
Worked fine on windows upon publish. But when I opened on a new Mac and published, when a question answer was clicked nothing would happen.
Turns out the problem seems to be with the text in the Javascript window. I think it somehow gets corrupted, though it looks fine. I had to literally delete the javascript, save it, and then copy it back in. Once I did that, it works.
I've invested too much time in this project so far, so don't want to risk any more major issues popping up like this, so I switched back to Windows and canceled my subscription this morning. Fortunately I have a license from my employer for Windows and will just use that with Boot Camp.

Can preview, not publish

I am using Captivate 4 on Windows XP. I have several cp files I am working with. All publish to swf except one. This one file allows me to preview, but not publish. There is no error message generated. I click the "Publish" button, the mouse pointer turns into an hourglass for a few seconds and then nothing happens...have waited 10 minutes without a response.
I have tried:
publishing to swf, exe, avi, etc
turning off compression
importing slides into blank presso
having user on different machine try it
I am at wits end, so any help is appreciated!

Hi there
Are we to assume the Publishing Process failed for the user on the other machine?
Assuming the answer to that is yes, I might surmise that the only real option left is to create a new blank project sized identical to the first. Then copy the slides from the errant project to the fresh one and publish from the fresh project.
You should also report this as a bug to Adobe.
Cheers... Rick

Updated links not publishing

I am on Lion 10.7.5 I have IWeb 3.04. I just went to add a link as an external page to a page. It added it. I published the change. Uploaded the html via Fetch to my server. when I do preview in Safari, it does not show the change, even after a refresh. I tried 2 other browsers, Firefox and Chrome. When I use Safari to check the file on my hard drive, it is the same. Iweb is not publishing the updated/added link. Suggestions please.

If you are using Wordpress for the blog, then if you are having problems with iWeb, why not consider moving the whole site to WordPress.org instead? If you have used WordPress before, then it would probably not take you long to move the site and then you could have that uniform look of the site with one template. You could have the whole website, plus the blog 'under one roof'. As you probably already know, you can alter WordPress so that you can have a static front page and change your blog posts elsewhere.
Don't know whether you use WordPress.com which is free or WordPress.org, which you need to install on your servers?
If you don't want to upload WordPress to a server/host, then you can download it and use it locally on your Mac - you would also need to download something called MAMP for free and set this up on your Mac. It is very easy to do - so download MAMP and then set up your database - My Sql. Download WordPress and place it in the htdocs folder under MAMP. You are then ready to install WordPress locally, so you run the install and connect the database to WordPress.
This means that you can play around with WordPress and re-design your site at leisure, without the need to install it on a server/host and when the local site is ready, you can upload it whenever you want.

Reverse changes made but not published

I’ve made three calls to Apple Care tech support who give me the IWEB support people but I’m not getting a satisfactory answer to my question. I built a nice little website for my pet sitting business using the IWEB application and was happy with it. But everyone complained I was not being found in any search engines and that I had to bypass the IWEB application and use an SEO tool to add “key” words into the script.
I started out OK, but couldn’t do the whole site in one sitting including updating all the links etc., so I saved but DID NOT publish. I now no longer want to try and bypass the IWEB app because its just too confusing to me to try and make minor changes when I want to regarding the content and now the links are all screwed up because I was instructed to bypass Apple’s navigation bar and put in one with the SEO tool. Anyway, my question is, how can I revert back to my original site (which appears to the public) but not on the IWEB files I have to work with on my computer?
I saved copies of the site before I tried to change it, but the Apple people say that the HTML files are gone and can’t be retrieved because I don’t have a copy on my IDisk anywhere. Not sure what that is. Other than starting from scratch and building an entirely new site, is there anyway to retrieve the html files from what I saved and be able to just copy them back into the IWEB application? I am a major computer dyslectic when it comes to understanding all this stuff, so I’m totally confused and would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank you very much.

Welcome to the discussions.

No — only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
“Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but *there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb*. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.”
Consider using another site builder — weebly.com is a popular, free web-based builder which works via drag & drop in your web browser. Here are some links to just a few of the features Weebly provides:

Ical not publishing to dotmac--new information

Hello, I have been having a hard time with icalendar not publishing on dotmac. It started happening suddenly on my upgrade to 10.5.2.
The dotmac support people have been responding to my inquiries with the following suggestions (eached bumped to a higher level):
1) unpublish and republish--nope doesn't work
2) corrupted file, remake the calendar (which means re enter every entry)
3) the most recent is that my file size (1.9 mbytes) can't be published on ical.
Has anyone heard this before? It is news to me, and google and forum searches have not indication of a limit to ical file sizes for dotmac publication.
Now it seems my choices are:
1) Try to find a way to bulk delete old events (there have been some messed up syncs with missing sync that have created a lot of repeated events). There are literally thousands of individual events that have to be deleted over the 5 years I have been using ical.
2) Re enter my dates in a new calendar going forward and publish that new calendar. Frankly, that seems easiest, but I have to admit being peeved at the undocumented file limit.
It is not a matter of my idisk size or anything like that. According to the tech " and can see that it has a file size of 2 MB. I'm sorry, but your calendar is too large to be rendered on a web browser. iCal publishing is intended primarily for personal use, and not as a means of publishing such a large and complex schedule.
I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. To decrease the size and complexity of your calendars, you might consider decreasing the event repetition, or splitting the events from one calendar into several smaller calendars."
So, anyone have any pointers?

I'm also having this problem. Lots of things seem to be broken in 10.5.5. I see that iCal last published my calendar in August 2008. Spotlight no longer seems to be indexing iPhoto. I wonder what else doesn't work. Most aggravating is that Apple never seems to acknowledge these problems. As mysteriously as they came, they might go away. It just works => That's just the way it works!

Endpoints not published in Service Registry

Hi all,
I have published all the Enterprise services from the Discovery system(ECC) and they are available within the service registry.
But somehow the endpoints are not published to the Service Registry because of which I am not able to consume the services for UI development in VC.
I have the following concerns :
1) The ES are being tested successfully but not being sure why the endpoints were not published when the Services were published from the Discovery System.
2) Can we forcefully create the endpoints in the Service Registry. If so, plz let me know the procedure.
3) SP13 is applied on Discovery System, so I am not able to execute TCode SOAMANAGER to create Endpoints, so is there any other alternative, other than upgrading ECC to SP14.
Points will be rewarded for any help
Regards Brian

Hi Brian,
Maybe the issue is wrt the Service Registry destination definition. The correct system name should be picked from the SLD system name (under http://host:port/sld) definition (I think it CE1 by default). You can also refer other issues I faced in a similar situation that i documented in thread [Endpoints not published in Service Registry;
I take my earlier comment about using the Publish function in Service Registry. I learn it should be not be used.
As regards the ServicesRegistrySi(Proxy Definition) URL, I guess you can use http://localhost:port/ServicesRegistrySiService/ServicesRegistrySiPort?wsdl&mode=sap_wsdl

How to password protect a site that is NOT published to .mac?

Hi There,
I was wondering if anyone has got a workaround for this in iWeb. I would like to password protect a site but am not publishing it to .mac. Is there a piece of code you can stick into the HTML manually to do this?
Thanks!
s

I am answering my own question! A friend tipped me off — your hosting company may offer password protection. That was the case for me. I went into the site settings and was able to set up a password for the entire site or only certain directories. I hope this helps someone!
