unwanted old blog on site updating

I've also created a support ticket for this, but I need it resolved as soon as possible, and thought I'd post here in case anyone else has this problem and maybe can help me resolve sooner. At one point, I was using the Everweb blogging feature, but it didn't suit my needs and now I'm switching to Wordpress (for my blog only). However, I want my new Wordpress blog to be located in the same subdirectory as my old Everweb Blog (location would be http://www.riseofthemolecule.com/blog). However, even though I've deleted my Everweb blog page from my Everweb project, whenever I update the rest of my site, it's reposting the since-deleted blog in its old location, overriding my Wordpress (which I've uninstalled until I've resolved this.) I've tried re-uploading my site completely, but every time it reposts my old blog. I would simply create a new subdirectory (i.e. riseofthemolecule.com/blog2 etc), but I don't want that, because it's not intuitive and I also don't want search engines to be able to pull up my old blog page anyway. How do I stop Everweb from posting this blog, which shouldn't continue creating every time I update? Very frustrating. |

Hi Langdon, There are a couple of things you can do. Publish the site to a folder on your computer from the publishing page in Everweb and check the folder to make sure the blog files have been removed. They should be if you have removed the files from the Everweb app. If not remove them and publish it again to see if they show up. If they don't Everweb has stopped creating the files. If they do there is problem with the Everweb app. As far as the files on your server are concerned. Log into your server where your webpage files reside the way you normally would and manually delete the blog files from your server. That should perminently get rid of them out of your blog folder. The publishing feature on Everweb doest allow you to see what is going on and I don't know if it will deleted file already created. You can use Cyberduck for the Mac to load your pages by dragging and dropping the files/folders manually. It takes a bit longer but you can see whats going on. The publishing feature in Everweb probably just overwrite files as you make changes. |

| When I publish to a folder (which I tried before submitting a ticket), the blog files don't show up. Even with a completely-wiped public_html file on my server, when I upload to my site the blog file is created again. It's an even older version of my blog too, with a menu (hidden because it's white on a white background - not my doing) that has a blog page in the menu. | |

| I should also note that I've deleted the images ("Blog of the Molecule" title) from my assets, but it's still showing up when I upload. | |

| At the moment, it seems to have resolved, but I don't know what I did, but I did minor edits on my other pages and re-uploaded. | |

Sometimes the app does always turn the files red when you make a change to the blog and you have to do a few more changes to get it to notice. I find the publishing feature lame. Maybe its ok if you host with them because they control the server. It seem the publishing feature adds some other code but who knows what it is. Another mystery I use Cyberduck for uploading the files from my folder. That way I know whats being uploaded. I'm finding other problems with the blog feature that need to be addressed as you can see in my previous posts. Quite frustrating. |

I had so many issues just trying to get the blog set up, which is why I finally just gave up and I'm making a separate Wordpress for blogging. Plus I really need to be able to update from my other devices, not just my Mac. It makes the site a little clunkier, but at least Wordpress is universal. I really love Everweb, but it is very buggy. Sometimes I can't take the time to report the bugs (especially when they're simple to witness, hard to describe), I just have to work around them or just find another way. |

| Nevermind, it's doing it again. This issue has not been resolved yet. | |

As a further test, I created a page on my site, www.riseofthemolecule.com/shanks.html. I uploaded it, and then deleted it from my Everweb project. I also went into my file manager on my server and deleted the shanks.html file from the servers (and emptied the trash). I then I refreshed the page URL on the internet and received a 404, which I expected and desired. Then, I went back to my Everweb project, made a minor change on a different page on my Everweb project. When I uploaded the changes, the shanks.html file showed back up in the file manager on my server, and now shows up when I type in the URL (www.riseofthemolecule.com/shanks.html). It should NOT exist. This is obviously a bug and something Everweb is doing, not my hosting server. |
