Publishing Deletes Pages

[monica]

I have a couple of Xara files that together make up a website. Recently I am finding that when I publish one file, Xara deletes pages that are not in that file on the server.

For example. I have locations.htm in one Xara file while the other 20 pages are in another one. When I publish the Locations file it deletes the other pages on the server.

Is there a setting that I need to fix for this not to happen?

This is happening most recently with Web Designer 9 ... but also noticed it with Web Designer MX.

I can't get through to my MAGIX test space at the moment to confirm, but that should not be happening unless you have page names in both files which are the same.

Or if the file extensions are different, .htm vs. .html

This can also happen if you don't export both lots to the same folder first.

File extensions the same.
1. One Xara file has all the website pages except one.
2. The second Xara file has one page: locations.htm.

When I republished #1 it erased locations.htm on the server.

With Web Designer 9 it no longer asks me to export the files to a folder, it just publishes.

This may well be the problem.

Go to the xar document with the single page, and from the Edit menu, select Copy Page.

Go to the document with all the pages but one and Edit > Paste Page.

If this option is not available with your copy of WD, then Select All on the single page,

Create a new black page in the document with all of the pages but one, and Paste in Place.

Make whatever adjustments are necessary then publish the entire site.
