Oct 10, 2015 2:39 PM in response to ejk3000by LurkingTom,Issue seems to be only with with links that have fonts that are modified, for example with shadow. Then the whole text box disappears. If you go back to un modified fonts, everything works (but doesn't look as good). Really a shame as this has been such a useful program. I cannot imagine what OS underlying support could be doing this. Apparently fonts are getting handled differently but only in links!?!
Edit: I think there is simply no more underlying OS support for shadow fonts, at least the way iWeb is expecting them to work.

Oct 11, 2015 11:26 AM in response to LurkingTomby LurkingTom,★HelpfulAnother iWeb capability that no longer works under ElCap (and maybe even Yosemite) are shapes as hyperlinks. A shape will disappear when uploaded to a site if made into a hyperlink.

Oct 12, 2015 5:38 PM in response to ejk3000by cerullistudio,I changed the font to Regular (no Bold, Italics, etc.), made only the text a hyperlink not the text box and the font now shows and is an active hyperlink when published.

Oct 12, 2015 5:46 PM in response to cerullistudioby cerullistudio,This worked for me: I changed the font to Regular (no Bold, Italics, etc.), made only the text a hyperlink (not the text box) and the font now shows as an active hyperlink when published. This is the only thing (of the many things I tried) that actually fixed the problem.

I tried it out. Didn't seem to work with Arial Regular.
I'll mess around with it.

Oct 30, 2015 9:17 AM in response to cerullistudioby Adam Lobel,Thanks. Great tip. I had lost all my text box hyperlinks since El Cap was installed. Selecting only the actual text and making that the hyperlink not only worked but allowed me to change the Rollover, Selected, Visited colors. Nice tip. It may be highly simplified and my sites may look like they're from 1998 but I'm not quite ready to bail on iWeb just yet!

There seem to be a lot of discussion threads on this topic and I just happened to visit this one. In another thread, we've been sharing a useful and recent discovery about the disappearing linked shapes. If the shape is generated from any other source, such as Pages, and copied into your iWeb page you can achieve the look you want - forget 1998, we'll get you back to 2016. In other words, you can link both the shape and the text in the text box. The only compromise is that the Fill you want has to be applied in the other program [which makes using Pages a natural, because it has similar design attributes]. Once imported into iWeb you can still customize the frame and add any shadows, etc. It's an easy switch. Try it...

Dec 30, 2015 6:06 AM in response to Richard Boschby BrynXXX,Hi Richard,
Thanks for your reply in the other thread on the same topic:
Re: How well does iWeb work with El Capitan?
As NowhereMan seemed to feel his question was answered, I thought I'd post my reply here instead.
As per my last post (other thread) I tried the suggestion of publishing locally and then uploading using Cyberduck, but to no avail, the problem persisted. Incidentally, Cyberduck is useful in itself for deleting old files from the server.., those that iWeb leaves behind.
I have also reported the issue to Apple using:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
Even though iWeb is "no longer supported" it is still included as part of El Capitan, therefore it seems reasonable to expect it to work!
I spent a while yesterday reviewing iWeb alternatives, but as iWeb is still free, & just about working, then it still wins agains the competition. I resorted to re-doing all my links in my web-site..., wasn't too onerous in the end. Thanks for the hint of importing shapes from Pages, when I have more time I might give this a go. However it would be nice if Apple could stick to their motto of "it just works", and make it work!
Fingers crossed!
