Original Xara site different from what appears online

Don't know how to fix this. I use Xara WD and FileZilla, and just switched hosts for a site I do. (There may be some people reading this who were extraordinarily patient and helpful with another issue) This time, having just uploaded the site to the new host, the pages are screwy. Home page is fine, but the others have some serious differences from the .web file. Black text turned red, and background color (or colour) disappeared; they should all have the same background as the home page, which IS there. It's certainly there on the original Xara .web page. (The site is www.salisburyfallfestival.org)

Thank you!!

PeeWee, first off, try pressing Ctrl+F5 o clear your browser cache.

In mine, I am seeing your red text, which implies the upload was not done properly.

Acorn

Thanks, Acorn, I have cleared the cache a few times, as well as deleted and re-uploaded all the files. How could the upload not be done properly?

Hi PeeWee, can you copy the Activities page (in the P & L gallery, right click over the page and select Copy Page) and paste it into a new .web document and then attach it here so we can look at it please?

Hi Egg Bramhill, I'd be absolutely delighted to!

Hi again PW. I've looked at your web file and uploaded it via Xara's built-in ftp utility also via the ftp program Filezilla. Neither displays the issue you highlight.

DEMO via XARA'S FTP

DEMO via FILEZILLA

One issue, and I don't believe it's the cause of your problem, but look at text Styles. All your text seems to be in the style 'normal' but there are many variations, including size, weight, font & colour. Very difficult to edit over a single page, let alone a multi page site.

Oh lordy, now I don't know what to do. I've just once again deleted all the files on the server and re-uploaded, and still have the same problem on that page - different fonts and font sizes and colours. Also, the same lack of background colour on 3 of the four pages. If the "activities" page worked for you, then what I might do is create a new website altogether using the page copy and paste option.

+1 Egg. I was puckering up to say the same.
My other concern is the page length is placing a lot of detail for a user to find and review and for the editor to manage.

I, too, cannot get the page to fault on Preview, Export or Publish.

Uploaded as BINARY right? The first time I uploaded a website (using FileZilla) I ran into this with my host. Even though the web host says it is no longer necessary, I still upload as Binary to be on the safe side. If I used another FTP client I would have run into the same issue with that host.

Thanks so much Egg Bramhill, John and Acorn! However, I've reached the limit of my frustration level with this site. My final solution was to select all text on the activities page and make it black. Problem solved. Colour is overrated! :-) Somehow, the background colour of the three pages also appeared with the latest upload. craftech, please tell me where I find the option to upload as binary? I can't find it in FileZilla's site management and don't know where else to look. And, Acorn, yes, you're right; the page is waaaay too long but that's the way the organisers want it. The page offers the option of printing out a pdf, which is what I expect most of our visitors do. Thank you again, everyone, so much!

That's a cop out PW!

Hi PeeWee,
Look on the bright side - at least you have the 2018 Festival version uploading after all the trouble with that. Computers. What you gonna' do?

bkjohns, ain't dat da truth! What'cha gonna do? In all my years with Xara I've never had so much trouble with a website. [Edit: None of the problems was caused in any way by Xara WD!) Now I'm going out to mow the lawn. Thanks again!

DUH!!! Feel like a total doofus. Didn't occur to me that there was any place other than "site management" for something like this. And there it was; could have been neon: "TRANSFER." Didn't even SEE that horizontal menu. [palms together, bowing, while giving self a dope slap] As for copping out..... I'll probably cave and try to put the red text back in, but right now I'm gonna mow the lawn, do a little weeding, and totally forget about the fall festival! Thanks again!
