Publish Settings - Managing Image & Shape Files



User: John S. 11 years ago
I was looking at what EverWeb published via FTP (using my own hosting account) and went into one of the page's "image" directory. The page I was working on had ~10 jpgs on it (10 at normal resolution + 10@2x.jpg resolution). When I opened up the directory, it had replicated these images 5 to 10 times and added a prefix each time, so each image had multiple variants with this file naming convention -

image-1.jpg
image-2.jpg
image-3.jpg
image-4.jpg
image-5.jpg
image-6.jpg

It seems every time I published the page, EverWeb uploads the image again and +1'd the count. It was doing the same for shapes too (I have a couple lines on the page layout). So, deleted the image & shape files and published again, expecting to see clean file names, like:

image.jpg
image@2x.jpg

Instead, I found EverWeb re-published ALL the deleted files again, plus another iteration:

image-1.jpg
image-2.jpg
image-3.jpg
image-4.jpg
image-5.jpg
image-6.jpg
image-7.jpg

So then I decided to out-smart EverWeb. I deleted the JPGs on the server, deleted the images from the webpage and just used HTML snippets to call the images from a directory I created on the server. I wanted a centralized asset depository anyway, so no big deal. Once again, published the page, and found...

image-1.jpg
image-2.jpg
image-3.jpg
image-4.jpg
image-5.jpg
image-6.jpg
image-7.jpg
image-8.jpg

The image isn't even used on the webpage, so why is it publishing these images? Am I missing something here in EverWeb?

Hi John. Are the images that you have getting duplicated placed in an image gallery widget?

Also, when deleting the images from your assets list, you would need to publish the site via File > Publish Entire Site, which will first remove the hidden local folder that stores your website files, and then re-publish the site in its most current state.
