SEO Tool for iWeb HELP

I have used iWeb('09) to publish to the ftp server, ipage.com. I haven't had a problem, until I downloaded the seo tool. Followed all the directions (even added a favicon!), except 2 of my linked sites do not work. They show up in the SEO program, but when I go to publish it, they don't work. I proceeded to publish from iWeb in order to erase what I had done, but still seems to not work. I know there is a "cache" for iWeb, would this have something to do with it?

"About Us" & "Portfolio" do not work... rest is working.

Thanks for the help!

What happens if you do not use that SEO application?

And since this SEO application screws up your webpages, why not ask in the relevant forum :

This is nothing to do with iWeb SEO Tool. You haven't uploaded these two files to the server or else they are uploaded to the wrong place...

That's what I believed, except it was all working until I did that. Watched the SEO tick through as it "published" and it stopped at one of the sites to say the image couldn't be found, but then gave me the message that my website was completely published, which is what I only saw the other day.

Going to erase the picture & see if that kills the bug.

Thanks.

I found that SEO was very good for adding the meta tags to the site but not for uploading the files. Rather than use SEO to opload the files use an FTP client like the free Cyberduck or Transmit Transmit.

It is likely that you didn't put the right URL in the URL field when you exported your website in iWeb to a local folder.

I would Publish Your Entire Site from under the File menu in iWeb to a local folder. Open it up in iWeb SEO Tool and then publish your site with iWeb SEO Tool.

It can also be that your directory path is incorrect. Contact your web hosting provider to get the correct root directory path. Only they know what it is.

If you have more problems, please contact our support and we'd be happy to help!

@Old Toad: Publishing with iWeb SEO Tool to an FTP server should work fine without any problems. Most issues with publishing with iWeb SEO Tool are because of an incorrect directory path. The directory path must be correct and can only be retreived from the user's web hosting provider.
