i therefore chopped ot sections until it worked.

The failing is the Placeholder with WOWSlider code for the testimonial. You have grouped other objects with is Placholder.
i simply ungrouped and all seemed to work.

Hope this helps,

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.
