IWeb is not updating my website.

After i publish my updates for my website to a folder (by clicking <File> <Publish to a folder>) iWeb is still showing the updated page icons in red and my website is not updating. However, I am getting a message after taking those steps that says "Your site has been published to the folder you selected" and it gives me the options to click <Visit Site Now> or <OK>. When I click <Visit Site Now> it shows the updates in the page that comes up, but when I access the page directly through Safari it shows the website without the updates. Also, when I reopen iWeb the changes that I made are still there and the updated page icons are still in red. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this or what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help/replies.

The site has published correctly in the past.
Nothing has been moved or changed in iWeb folder.
All content files are in correct folder / not missing.
I do not have an external drive.
I do not have a .Mac account. It is being published to my own domain.
Thanks for your thoughts David. Much appreciated!

Iweb would not update the title

My iweb would not update the title of one of my website pages. All other updates went through but this one. I even deleted the page and did it again and it refuses to appear right after published. It also shows an error 404 in the page when published. Can anyone help? Thanks

Try clearing your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and relaoding that one page.

IWeb SEO not updating navigation bar

Hi All,
I have been working on my first website via iWeb (3.0.4 v601) and have been able to work through most of the issues encountered. The main one was the site name repeated in the address, so I researched the iWeb SEO that fixed that. i.e.
www.thealleybarn.com/welcome.html was showing as www.thealleybarn.com/The_Alley_Barn/Welcome.html
Today I made some updates to my site, including removing a couple of blank pages and renaming another one. When publishing the site via iWeb SEO it is not updating the navigation bar. I have cleared my cache and double checked it on my phone (which had not viewed the site before) but it did not fix the issue.
My website is: www.thealleybarn.com
The menu should read: Welcome / The House / Beaches / Renovation / Contact
However currently it reads: Welcome / The House / Beaches / Renovation / Things to do (blank page I deleted) / Location (I had renamed this to "contact")
When not uploading it via the iWeb SEO (using the iweb ftp option) it actually looks ok, but then it has the name duplication issue, i.e. http://www.thealleybarn.com/The_Alley_Barn/Welcome.html
This suggest that the files have been uploaded correctly, but its just not showing the right navigation bar when doing it via iWeb SEO. The other pages I updated are working ok, its just the menu that is the old one and not new one.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well yes, if you start using the iWeb ftp to upload your site after having used iWebSEO, then you will get your site name back again, because the iWeb ftp overrides what you have done with using iWebSEO - so once you use it you have to continue or iWeb itself will override.
You do state that you are using iWeb 08 however and iWeb 08 does not have the ftp included - this only applies to iWeb 09.
What you can try however is not uploading your site using iWebSEO. Rather, publish your site from iWeb to a local folder and then open your site with iWebSEO and then add what you want to but then when you are ready to upload, use something like Cyberduck instead - this is a dedicated ftp client - there is this or Yummy ftp. Don't use iWebSEO to upload and see if using Cyberduck instead makes a difference. Again, to get rid of the site name problem, just upload the contents of your site folder and NOT the whole site folder itself.

Remote file template not updating on website

Hello I am very very new to dreamweaver and have been handed a website that I have to maintain and make changes to.
The website uses a template called index with further nested templates as shown
The index template contains the code for the Menu Bar and footer and although I have been able to make other updates and changes I am finding that any changes to the code on this template do not show up on the site. The strange thing is that both the local and remote code has updated as I would like it is just the website itself that is not changing. When I view the website source code it is different to the remote file code. I assume that the link between the two is somehow broken but I do not know how to fix it. Is there a trick to fixing such a problem or am I wrong about this being the problem?
Here is the remote file code which is that same as the local code - I have out the code that is not updating in bold and underlined it:

Jon Fritz that did actually work for some of the pages but not others. I upadted each invidivual page, except the main page as I have not finished the content and now some of the pages are acting strangely.
Here is the website http://www.genesi-fp7.eu/index.html
As you can see every page except the 'Contacts' and 'Links' page is now reading the correct code when you click on the 'Consortium' tab. The strange thing however is that the footer has updated on the 'Links' page suggesting that this part of the template has updated. Both these pages are based on the Index-misc nested template. The code is copied here:

      <h1>Introduction to the G.EN.ESI Project</h1>
      <p>The sustainability of industrial products, particularly household appliances, is an important issue today. Energy consumption in the residential/domestic sector is about 20% of world consumption, and associated greenhouse gas emissions exceed 35%.   Household appliances contribute greatly to these values and thus require particular attention as far as sustainability is concerned.</p>
      <p>It is well known that decisions taken during the early design of products are very important in determining total product cost. It is possible to hypothesize the same for environmental impacts – i.e. the sustainability of a product is largely determined during the early design stage. In order to allow designers to make well-informed decisions, new design methods and tools are needed to provide the basis for determining the degree of sustainability of a given product or process. Many eco-design procedures and tools have been developed but they are often far from a practical day-by-day application in company engineering departments, and they are not well integrated with computer-aided design tools.   This project wants to make up for this limitation and to develop an eco-design methodology (called G.EN.ESI) and a related software design tool (called the G.EN.ESI platform) able to help product designers in ecological design choices, without losing sight of cost and typical practicalities of industry. The software platform will propose a guided process towards eco-design among several design choices based on the different scenarios of product lifecycle. The proposed approach will be applied to the household appliance field but it can be easily extended to other mechatronic products.</p>
      <p>The project started in February 2012 and will continue until January 2015.</p>

Can NOT update my website (Golive 4)

Im a Mac user. My server is itsamac is golive 4 just too old? or is it something else

What do you mean by you can't update your website? Can you not connect to the server via FTP? Can you connect but not upload files?

Since iLife '11 upgrade, iWeb does not update/publish my website.

It shows progress and says it publishes, but when I go to the website after iWeb confirms the site has completed publishing, none of the changes are made. Please help.

Here's what I've gathered so far....It publishes to the FTP just fine. I can preview the pages from the FTP accurately as a local file. I use the exact same path from the local file to pull up the second page on the site, and it pulls up the old page. BUT, when I use the home page (or index) path to pull it up online, it says "Not Found".
I gather that for some reason the site is not publishing accurately, as it did before. All the files show up on the remote ftp site, but something is wrong.

IWeb pages not updating correctly on .mac website.

I have changed one of my pages in iWeb. This page was a photos page. I tried to put a movie at the bottom of the page and it didn't work right. When you load up the page it looks like there to be a movie there but it doesn't play. So I decided to remove it. I removed it in iWeb and published the update to my .mac account. When I go to view it the movie is still posted on my website.
Anybody know how to fix this problem?

depending on which browser you use you will find it here:
SAFARI: Open Safari, then choose "Safari" from the silver-white bar at the top and choose to "Empty Cache..."
FIREFOX: Open FF, and then from the bar at the top choose "Extras" and then "Clear Private Files." then from the pop-up choose to to clear cache. do this twice.

Gallery changes in adobe bridge not updating on website

i have a problem with galleries i have created with adobe bridge and dreamweaver cs4.
when i update the gallery in bridge, and update in dreamweaver; and then upload to the remote server, the changes do not show on the website. can anyone help?
i've tried a few things like deleting the file off the remote server and uploading again but nothing.
(if i delete or change the name of the gallery that will work, but not when i update the actual photos).

You need to check two things:
1) are you uploading the new files each time you make any change?
2) Are you clearing the browser cache just in cache it is not refreshing because of the same name?
When you have checked these two things and if the problem persists then you will need to upload the page and provide a link here to others to check in their browsers and to see if all the pictures are online.
Hope this helps.

Images Appear On iWeb But Not In Published Website

As I'm working on a website page in iWeb 08, the images on one particular page are clearly visible yet when I publish the site, the images are gone and only appear on the page as little question marks. HELP!!!

Hi Elizabeth,
I'm experiencing the same problem at the moment... However my hypothesis are:
The photos might have names that are causing the problem (not internet compatible, thus using special characters or whatever) you could try to rename with something like 123.jpg put them back in iWeb and republish. The names may also be too long.
Or the might be in a particular non-standard format... What's the extension of the files? .tiff? .jpg? other?
Other possibility would be that they aren't publishing to the server (which would be the biggest problem I think)
Regards,
Cédric

IWeb Will not replace old website! Please help!

I'm trying to replace an old website that was designed with Frontpage, with a new one designed with IWeb09. Every time I try to publish the new site, it publishes it to a subfolder. I read a few of the discussions, downloaded cyberduck, and deleted the old website files, but now I just get a blank page.
Please help! Any ideas?

Well, yes, iWeb will publish to a sub folder called your Site folder, which will have the same name as you named your site within iWeb - this is what it is supposed to do and always will.
What you need to do is use Cyberduck and connect with your server and delete what was there previously and then, when you upload your new iWeb site, just upload the contents of your Site folder rather than the whole folder itself and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/pagename.
Just be aware that if you are using any RSS feeds, uploading your site in this way will make them inactive.
The other way to do it is to upload your whole site folder to your server's public_html file or wherever you have to upload to and then you get your separate index.html file and place this outside your public_html folder pointing in. Your RSS feeds will then work, however, your url will then be http://www.domain.com/sitename/page name.
The choice is yours.

Changes not updating in website

I recently reinstalled Dreamweaver and had to import our
website into the new version and now when I make changes and "put"
them it accepts them says the link to the site is fine and the
files are correct on the remote server, but when I open the website
the changes have not taken effect

Have you cleared your browser cache?
Are you sure that the files are being uploaded to the correct
location
on the web server?

How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3? I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying "Can't open file" etc., etc. I've tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens.
What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb. Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In 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.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Iweb SEO tool not updating website

I've figured out how to use Rages iweb seo tool however, it's not showing up on the web. Why not? It still shows the old "welcome" as my page title or "about us" as my page title. I can see the information I put into the tool and I've clicked "apply." When I click "apply" it says "your changes have been applied", but it's not updating! So, I tried publishing WITHIN the SEO tool and then I did see the changes (for the title tag) but my navigation bar was removed and I could only get to the home page. It looks like the url was different as well.
Please help!

iWeb SEO tool is a very useful application but I wouldn't recommend using for FTP. After republishing your site with any changes, reapply the tags with SEO tool and then upload your files with an FTP application.
If you don't have one, the freeware Cyberduck is good.....

The reason that your website navigation is not showing is probably because the feed.xml file is missing. If you are using the iWeb default navigation you should consider getting rid of it and building a custom one in a text box as this is a lot better from the SEO point of view.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This is the image contained in the file causing the problem...
I certain the original is contained in the Combo updates and on the OS disks.
As a temporary fix, click on the image above to open it.
Use Screen capture (Shift+Command+4) and click on the opposite corners of the image.
It will be saved as a Screen shot 2011-mm-dd at hh:mm.png
Right click on the filename in Finder and rename it to mwmac_white.png
I'm not certain, but the file might need to be moved into the Documents directory in the Subdirectory named for the website name you are editing. That's where it is on my system, but I moved a bunch of files when I restored from Time Machine about 18 months ago.
I also have many copies of mwmac.png, a separate copy one for each web page where the image appears in my website.

IWeb is not updating my website.
