Hi there,
I changed my nav bar from a too long one into a two liner.
The preview looks fine , but after publishing the old layout is back - despite cache clearing, changing the browser asf. (see attachment, too)
Tx for any useful help!
Xara Designer Pro X 17.1.0.60486 DL x64 [Windows 10 pro 20H2]
It's very possible that your browser has cached the previous page. In your browser force a page refresh, Ctrl + F5
i can't speak for the experts, but surely it would help if you posted a link or a .WEB rather than just a screen shot
Tx - but I asked a friend of mine who opened my website the very first time ... to see my old nav bar.Quote:

I could not repair a car simply by being given a photo, or a video even.. I would need to examine the car, otherwise it is all guesswork
so how about a link / .WEB ?
Can you see any other changes you made?
I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong, but...
there are only two ways this could happen:
1] a cache problem, maybe even the hosting cache...
2} the issue is caused when the .WEB is converted to HTML - it is not appreciated by every one that the xara preview is not based on HTML; there is no HTML until it is published, and HTML cannot do everything you can do in the program
btw - have you tried viewing in other browsers?
The member said a friend was asked to view the page in a browser that has not been to the site and the old nav bar is still showing.Quote:

Gary I read that to mean that it could not be a broswer cache issue, because his friend would not have cache entries in his browser... so yes what you say is so, but if it were me I would be checking other browsers myself... it is the obvious thing to do
but first off you give the people you want help from something they can analyse, otherwise you risk wasting their time, and maybe even their goodwill...
this is not the first thread the OP has ingored a request so to do, see here:

you need to help others to help you...
Where do you get that from HD?Quote:

sorry egg, so preview produces HTML, got my wires crossed there, thank you... :o - although the cases where what is previewed and what gets published, locally or at host are different in some respects, seems relatively common to me, it comes up a lot
still it's btw really... it's hard to fix an issue if you don't have a file to work on is it not...
For Clarity
The XDA Preview option is fully HTML just badly handled by Xara still using Internet Explorer.
In Pro+, the Export now goes directly to your default browser, which sorts out one problem but introduces others (for me).
Xara still uses Internet Explorer in the XDA elsewhere so we have another fudge on our hands.
Browser caching is still a problem so I prefer a local Export and previewing in something like Fenix web server, installed locally.
The simplest workaround is to restart the XDA but this is a chore and few will do so.
I offered Xara a solution to server caching a year back without any progress.
The Preview is generated by the Xara HTML Filter, which you can determine by right-clicking on the preview and picking View page source.

P.S. Totally with handrawn about TG uploads of design files. This saves an average of 10 meandering Posts to get to a position of being able to help.
thanks for the clarification acorn :)
re 1: cache - rather unlikely, for I even asked a friend to open the site for the very first time. And my provider, nice enough, answered my question re hosting cache, too: n/aQuote:

Good point: I deleted a phrase and replaced it by a new one. This is not published either ....
what I really meant is that you cannot use a xara program [XDA] to edit the HTML directly [what I actually said was technically incorrect as has been popinted out, sorry]Quote:
e 2: this is for sure beyond my skills and understanding; reads as if I can' t do anything myself, correct?
however, the really important thing. as acorn pointed out, is the need to see a design file or at least a link to a published site
is there a reason why you are unable to do this ?
If nothing is changed then you are publishing to a different area as a text change is usually immediate.
Else it's server caching.
With no other details it's all a guess.

Are your FTP settings the same? Or have they changed?
FTP settings have/had not been changed.....Quote:

The page is now as it is meant to be.
Tx to all who answered and helped (though partly beyond my knowledge)
it's good that you got it sorted... but...
you could have made a server backup and done that in the first place...
and now, since you have not found out what it was causing the problem you have missed an oportunity to learn... n'est-ce pas ?
