It super that you found it. I just don't understand why they'd release an update, that suddenly renders non-functional, aspects of how many thousands of already existing sites, and then put long time, faithful Xara users through that exercise in detective work. The grouped placeholder worked fine in 15, and even in earlier versions of 16. Why now make it not work? This is not the first time that there was an update that suddenly rendered dozens of my websites either visually incorrect, or unpublishable. Case in point, the "image" tab "One image for whole group" option. Suddenly dozens of my websites with transparent elements were no longer transparent. I had to go through, and "group", and turn on the "one image" option on quite a few of my already active websites. I can't help wondering how many of my other sites I'm going to run into this on with on my next site update. I'm sure you can understand the frustration.
Incidentally, thank you for tracking that down for me. I ungrouped, and sure enough, it published without incident. I, of course, had to re-insert the wowslider code into something, but it's working.
I agreed it is frustrating.
At present I have sites built in v12.8 that I dare not update through v15.1, v16.0, v16.2 or v16.2 as I too don't know what will break. I have all my major versions still loaded.
I do not know of any other application with this millstone; I updated Pinegrow, the three Affinities, Adobe and Bootstrap Studio all around the same time without incident or serious regression testing. It is two update payments so far with no tangible benefit.

Thanks Rob removal of the small bit of code(an original work round many years ago to centre pictures) has done the trick. Acorn gave me some code to replace it as there were problems with captions on photos which were attributed to this but also to the fact that photos with shadows will not accept captions. This was a site produced back in 2015 so overlooked them
Thanks for your time

Hi Rob
Is there any update on the patch release date?
It should be released if not today then Monday or Tuesday. We're just waiting on the patches from Magix, then I'll run through and make sure they work then released.
Thanks
