@SerifSoftware hello thank you for replying.. well i did what you suggested.. when i preview it after i updated the webpage i can see it but then when i close my browser and open my site again it takes me straight to my homepage not the intro .. is there something i could have missed when adding the page . page placement .. something once again thank you

@beatchy956 I don’t think you’ve missed anything – if it works in the preview it should work online as well… sometimes web hosts can take a while to make changes to uploaded sites go live, might be worth trying again 24hrs after you upload with the new filenames. And also of course make sure you have emptied your browser cache when you want to be sure the latest version is displayed.

@SerifSoftware thank you for replying .. i did what you said right well when i preview it after i have updated the site i can see it but then when i close my browser and type in my web url again it doesnt i go straight into the homepage.. is there anything else i have to do that i might have missed like when i added the page or something once again thank you

@beatchy956 Hi Beatchy956. Web browsers will always automatically display the page called index.htm (or .html) or home.htm (I think) if they find one, so your intro page should be named as that in the Page Properties dialog. Then the rest of your site can use other page names, e.g. main.html for the first page visited after the intro. HTH, Dale @ Serif.

@kevrevv Hi Kevrevv… yes it can create catalogues (by hand or semi automated with database and/or photo folder import) and there is a built in search function too. It can include streaming media, by inserting your own files or by embedding HTML from other websites. Sites made in WebPlus X4 can be edited in other programs (once you “publish to disk”) but there is a source file in WebPlus’s own format. It’s very feature rich but you can add extra features with custom HTML code when required!

kevrevv December 12, 2010 at 12:05 am

can it create a catologue, and search items by genre, colour, name, alphebetically ect?
can it stream live music to be listened to on the website?
can it embed video clips other than youtube?
can the designs or templates made be sold on to customers, where they can edit themselves or will they need x4 software too?
i am very interested in this product all i hear is good things almost ready to buy…………

Hi. I’m getting a Nettop computer, which doesn’t have an optical drive. Can I still buy this product? I’m ordering from Amazon (as I have Amazon vouchers).
Thanks

@elvmage73 There’s no more tutorials planned right now until WebPlus X5 comes out, I’d suggest heading over to the Serif forum where a bunch of friendly WebPlus users can point you in the right direction. HTH, Dale @ Serif

SerifSoftware December 12, 2010 at 4:45 am

@elvmage73 WebPlus X4 comes with a subdomain and hosting package included, and there’s a time-limited promotion on right now, too – 12 months of “Gold level” hosting with a full domain is included with each direct purchase of WPX4. HTH, Dale @ Serif

Hi emm i was gonna ask the same question as sharp emm could u make a tut for it?

elvmage73 December 12, 2010 at 6:11 am

southparklovers December 12, 2010 at 7:04 am

I get all that, and a bit more now thanks to you. But I was wondering how toget it so when you roll the mouse over one of the links to get to a different page extra icons would appear underneath it. Say the link to the “Shop” page hyperliink for example. How do you make it so when you roll the mouse over it that more things will come underneath it that you could click to get ot that specific page. So underneath that there could be, “Special Offers” ect. :)

@SerifSoftware
Thanks to your fast respnse!
I unchecked the “copy objects..” button. Now when i create the site the masterpage pops up. Now when i rightclick on my first page and click on “show page” the masterpage closes and my original site pops up. When i then edit it my new site adopts it still. Now, if i edit the master page the others adopt that too. Seriously, am i stupid? How do i fix this? I did exactly what this tutorial shows. Please, i need help! :)

SerifSoftware December 12, 2010 at 8:08 am

@sticknumber Hi there, it sounds like when you are creating a new page, you need to look for and uncheck the “Copy objects from page:” option. Copied objects as you’ve described can be as a result of other things, too; editing & using Master Pages (underlying pages with content that is repeated across a site or part of a site), cloning a page, or as I first mentioned copying objects from a page when a new one is created. HTH, Dale @ Serif.

sticknumber December 12, 2010 at 8:12 am

I got a probleme here.. when i create a new page the page autimatically adopts alle the information from the first site. And when i change something on that one the next one changes too. What do i have to do to prevent this? Can someone help me?
