Setting up pages not to go over template

Page 1 of 1

I am new to setting up a site and the home page is over running template. Also when I try to create new page with a title it fails. What am I doing wrong? I have followed the instructions.

Your homepage needs to be called index.html as this is the page that loads when you enter your domain into a web browser. So you must delete the current index.html which is the holding page and load your own homepage and call it index.html.

I'm sorry but we will need some extra information regarding the 2nd part of your question. Are you using our web builder to design your site?

To clarify.....

The web page (your homepage) you would like to load upon searching for your domain needs to be called, either....

index.html
index.htm
home.html
home.htm

If it is called something different you would need to append the file name to the end of the domain, else the Supanet holding page will display, e.g.

http://www.yourdomain.com/homepage.html

All file names are case sensitive and must not contain any spaces in them. It must be remembered that the Windows operating system is case insensitive so when you test you website on your PC at home it will work fine. Our servers use UNIX which is case sensitive and if your html code contains lower case file names but you have saved your files with uppercase file names your images etc... will not show/work.


We have checked your site and it appears to be working with multiple pages so we are presuming you have realised what you were doing wrong?

OK, I'm kinda getting it and managed to add a page. But now want to edit the pages correctly however, when I click "page editor" only the home page is shown, there is no drop down menu as in the instructions to show other pages I have?

This is probably because you are using the basic web builder version.

Select “WB Homeâ€

Ok, got that thanks. I would still like to add more text to a single page without going over template or extend size of template so page can be scrolled.

Try this....

This needs inserting into the code not the front end. You can insert it by clicking on the little 'html' icon in the word editor and putting it at the bottom after your text.

<br clear="all"/>

If this doesn't work please can you send us the URL of the page you are trying to edit and we will have a look for you.

Hope this helps
