Publishing site remains RED

I am trying to publish a site with 30 pages that include many photos. After about a half hour of publishing I receive the "Site successfully published" but the pages remain red and I am unable to visit those pages. I have deleted my iweb preferences in Library>Preferences and tried to republish but to no avail.
Anyone know what I can do to truly make this a successful publish? Thanks...

  • IWeb09 pages remain red after publishing

    I recently updated to iWeb09 when I bought a new iMac. I moved my old iWeb08 files across from my old MacBook. While I was messing around with iWeb09, I changed the name of my site from the default Site to Southpaws. Ever since then, I cannot publish all of the pages on my site. Even after publishing the entire site - and receiving the confirmation message that the site has been published - many of the pages on the left remain red and are not published when I check on the internet. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks very much.

    If you search this forum for "red" or "red icon you'll find that this subject has been discussed at great length. Right not there is no tired and true fix. Some have found fixes for their situation but it didn't help others. Be sure to report this to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.

  • IWeb not publishing site updates

    Starting today - 5/18/09, A site I have in iWeb is no longer publishing updates. The site publishes to my mobile me account, and is redirected to my domain. This is the page in question - http://www.pitassidesigns.com/Portfolio/Web_Design.html
    Besides the code iWeb puts out I have added the favicon code, and Google Analytics Code. For some reason when I made some changes to some images, they do not appear as they should. The first image should be swapped with the second, and now the second image is gone. The google code, and favicon code it still there, and I usually have to re-input it after updates. Also the page in iWeb remains red, as if it was not published. I tried to delete that page and file folder from my idisk, and iweb doesn't publish a new one as it should. I tried restarting and nothing. I tried publishing the whole site, and it remains the same.
    Any help would be great, I don't feel like manually writing this page out in Dreamweaver, iWeb is so much easier.

    Ignore this. As usual when I decide to post this it works on the 10th try. Not sure what happen there.

  • "publish site changes" writes to a subdirectory, not correct directory

    Heres a poser.
    I enjoy iWeb because I can update my pages, and then iweb updates just those changes to my host. Been doing this for years. As my web site is fairly large, I have a main web site, and have created sites under that, which reside on the same root, that links in the main web site connect to.
    Well, I just made some basic changes to three pages of one of my sub-sites, and when I updated changes, iWeb wrote the folder not to the root like the original, but inside the directory of the top web site.
    So original files were never changed. I had to remove old folder from root, move the new folder to the root directory for the new files to appear. Very strange, since iWeb wrote the original folder and files in the root, but wrote the changed folder and files to a different place.
    In the iWeb FTP Server settings, the directory path indicated does show the top or main site on the root level as the directory/path. If I remove it from the settings (leave directory/path blank), the whole site goes red, implying the whole thing needs to be updated. And if i start that, it states there is a folder already there with the original name, do i want to replace it.
    What is mysterious to me is that iWeb wrote these sites for me, has updated these sites for me no problem, till now, when it writes changes to a subfolder instead of original folder in root.
    Has anyone run into this? I am baffled, and have not made any changes to iWeb, my site, my settings which would explain this to the best of my knowledge.
    using iweb 3.0.4, in OSX 10.6.8
    thanks so much.

    If anyone figures out why iWeb of its own accord started writing subsite folders to the home site folder instead of the root, let me know!
    When iWeb publishes a website it publishes a site folder and an external index.html file. If you leave the site folder and index file in place on the server it will publish the new or changed files to that folder. That's how iWeb works. 
    If you want to avoid having the domain name twice in the URL change the site name to something other than the domain name.  Then your URL will be www.domain-name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
    When you publish just the contents of the website folder to the server you will get rid of the duplicate domain name BUT you lose the ability to use iWeb 3 to publish directly to the server.  You will have to publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Yummy, Transmit or Cyberduck to upload the contents of the webfolder to ther server. Wyodor's link explains it in more detail.
    Or you could just leave the double domain name in the URL and not worry about it and rely on the content and appearance of your site to keep bringing the visitors back.

  • "Publish Site" is dimmed and I can't publish.

    I made some changes to an existing website and tried to publish those changes, but the "publish SIte" icon at the bottom of the window is dimmed. Some of my websites listed along the left side of the window are red, but I can't do anything about it.
    Any suggestions or help?
    Thanks!

    Make another small change, like moving an item a couple of pixels, etc., to each of the pages you edited earlier and see if that will activate the button. OR try using the File ➙ Publish Site Changes menu option.

  • IWeb will not Publish.  The publish icon stays red and no changes are made. Please help.

    The question says everything.  When I click "publish site," the world icon at the top of the screen stays red (instead of whirling about and turning blue), and no changes are made.  When I exit the program, it says, do you want to exit while changes are still being made? 
    This is confusing, since nothing seems to be uploading according to the icon.   The website really needs to be updated and I welcome and appreciate any and all help.  Thank you.

    See this page for an axample of publishing settings...

    If this doesn't get things going try the second method - publishing to a local folder - to see if that works.

    Have you published the site before? Do you have any changes in the site that cause a page icon to display red? Have you entered the correct ftp information in the Publish to window?

  • Publishing Site, what happens to temporary site and forms created with Muse?

    Hello,
    I want to publish my site, however I am wondering if the temporary .businesscatalyst.com site goes down immediately after I do this? Also, I created the forms with Muse and apparently they are connected to the URL, so will they no longer work? Or do I have to republish them? Also, do I have to pay for the published site if I am creativecloud member? Thanks any insight!

    Hi,
    The system url will still remain when pushing live and adding your own domain.  The site will naturally reflect your added domain once added however you can always access the site uisng the system URLs.
    The form will naturally reflect your added custom domain and will still work under the system URL.
    Yes, you get up to 5 free webBasic sites under your cloud subscription.  More details can be found in the FAQ page.

  • Updating published site

    I published my site, and revised it several times, it worked like a charm.
    However last night I was trying to revise it again but it would not allow me to.
    It took the new info and went through all the steps to publish , then it asked if I want to visit the new published site, when I click yes it did not show the new changes. The old site remains , however when I go back to view from iweb directly the new revises are there.
    Now this morning it will not even allow me to publish.
    If I reinstall will I lose all my site info?
    Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do?
    Much thanks in advance.

    Yes, if you reinstall you will lose your site, all the data sits in.
    User>Library>Application Support>iWeb>domain (this file is your site)
    First thing to do is clear your cache in Safari, Safari > Empty Cache..
    This often solves the issue of not seeing the changes.
    Secondly, you could trash your iWeb.plist file, this is the preference file and lives here:
    User>Library>Preferences>com.apple.iWeb.plist
    Then empty your trash and reboot your machine and then reopen iWeb.
    This is a harmless approach and could fix it for you without having to do a reinstall.

  • Why is my published site not operational when using Firefox or IE?

    The original problem I experienced had to do with the fact that my published site's navigation bar was totally missing on each page and replaced with a "period" as described by the following thread... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9899999&#9899999
    The weird thing is that this problem only exists when using IE or Firefox on a PC (at work). Site is 100% operational using Safari on a Mac (at home).
    Thinking my iWeb files were corrupt, I uninstalled and reinstalled iWeb '08. After doing so, I republished my site. The good news: the nav bar is now present on each page and operational. The bad news: my photo pages and blog page have zero content other than the header banner and nav bar. Again, this problem only exists when accessing the published site using IE or Firefox on a PC. The site is fully operational and all photos/blog entries present when accessing the site using Safari on my Mac.
    What gives? Did a recent iWeb update (intended for iWeb 09 users or intel-based macs) corrupt my iWeb '08 on my PowerBook G4?

    Please note that Java and Javascript are not related. iWeb uses a lot
    of Javascript, not Java. There may be some issues with the Javascript
    generated by iWeb -- I don't know. If it seems to work for someone
    and not for someone else then it is an issue at the browser end, not
    the website end. Each browser may not be handling the Javascript in
    exactly the same way. (You gotta love standards.)

  • Can't publish site

    Greetings People,
    Is there an any server updating occurring?
    I keep getting this error message when trying to publish site. Please advise. Thank you.

    Hi Robert,
    That means when in your home network, Muse is not allowed to make connection with the servers at business catalyst. Please check your firewall and make sure nothing is blocking Muse. Was this working before?

  • After I publish IWeb, unwanted hyperlinks show up in the published site.   How do I get rid of this worm?

    I have noticed that no matter how hard I try to rid my published site of these hyperlinks (that I've never put in) certain words within the published site are highlighted and underlined and link to another source trying to sell something.  I've never put this in and think there is some kind of virus or worm on my Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion.  I've even deleted pages and started from scratch with a new page.  They are still showing up and multiplying.  HELP!  I'm on a Windows computer right now and don't know how to take a screen shot to show you how it works.  I hope my description is enough.

    This has nothing to do with iWeb. These links are added on the server- probably due to the fact that you are using a "free" hosting service.
    Contact your host to upgrade your account or choose another one with more appropriate facilities...

  • Media Tab Missing in Publishing Site

    Hello
    I have a Publishing site created with the Publishing template. I edit the default.aspx page of the site and click 'Add a Web Part', I then select Media and Content and pick the Media Web Part. I then edit the web part, but I don't see the 'Media Tab' in
    the ribbon.
    I tried creating a new page but it still didn't show.
    Does anyone have any ideas why this is not working?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Yoshi

    Hi Yoshi,
    I tried reproducing the issue in my SharePoint Server 2013 by creating a site collection of Publishing Portal. Then I created a new page, and inserted a media web part. When I click on the web part, WER PART tab and MEDIA tab were both shown in the ribbon.
    Then I tried any possible reason, I deactivated publishing feature in site feature, then the media tab still existed. After I deactivated the publishing feature in site collection feature. The media tab disappeared and all ribbons in WEB PART tab greyed
    out.
    I’d recommend you check the if publishing feature is activated in site collection feature and site feature. Could you edit this media web part properties? Did the issue occur in other site collection with publishing feature activated? Did the issue occur
    with admin permission?

  • Setting Custom Master page in search results page - Publishing site

    Hi,
    I have a publishing site, in which i have a custom Master page.
    However when doing the search in the site, the search results does not show the custom Master page.
    Is it possible to set the custom created Master page for the search results page? How to achieve this?
    Thanks

    Hi Venkat,
    The search page for a publishing site is a file available in the layouts folder (I believe it is the osssearchresults.aspx if you see the address bar). It is used by all web applications and site collections in your farm. So ideally you should not change
    it. I mean you can change it to point to your master page but it is bad practice ..
    I would instead do the following
    1. Create a custom search results web part page and place it in the site collection itself (one of the document libraries)
    2. Custom search results is not difficult because all search results pages are made of a set of Out of the box search results web parts. If you add the same webparts to your page as the default search results page, you have effectively created a copy of
    it
    3. go to site settings --> search settings and change the search results page to your newly created page
    4. The newly created page by virtue of its location will automatically use the master page the rest of the site uses.
    I could not spend the time to try the above for you but I am sure the above will work.
    Thanks and Regards,
