Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I found a great tutorial for xsitepro ftp and templates.

Configuring the uploading section of Xsitepro is probably the most difficult section of the software to get past for anyone who is fairly new to website editors that combine ftp function. There was a fellow on a forum who asked the following question:

I can’t upload the site through xsitepro’s function, for some reason it just won’t go through.

When I export the site, everything goes fine.

Now I’ve updated the site and uploaded all the exported files (through filezilla) and it’s not 100% as it’s presented in xsitepro.

First of all the header isn’t displaying properly(it shows a previously edited header) and the left panel menu only displays the new links when you click on any link below the “home” homepage.

The new menu links don’t display on the homepage itself, but instead pop up when you click on anything below the “home” start page.

It’s SO frustrating!

I ask myself”why can’t this just work and be simple”!

Does anyone know how to come around this problem or any possible solutions?

I love xsitepro, it’s by far the best design tool, well, easiest and quickest to use, but darn, these kind of formatting issues are so annoying, especially when it looks so good in XsitePro itself.

Since I use Xsitepro quite a bit I thought I’d try to give him some advise as follows:

Xsitepro is perfect for anyone getting started with building websites. Because of it’s simplicity it’s also great for more experienced webmasters that want to crank out some quick websites.
