    It will be in the same place that it always has been and that will still be under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb and domain.sites.  However, in Yosemite, the User Library is invisible, so you'll need to go to the Go menu and then click the 'alt' key so that you can find your User Library and then you can find Application Support and iWeb.

     

    Also remember that in Yosemite, you will not be able to open multiple domain.sites files, so if you open one domain file, iWeb will always open this one and if you only have one domain file, then this is no problem, but if you have more than one, you are going to have to download a programme called either domain cracker or iWeb User Sites to be able to open multiple domain files if you have them.

     

    All you need to do is do a Google search for Domain Cracker and it should come up as being available to download.  Do a Google search for it though, as it is not available elsewhere.

    Hi Ethmoid,

     

    Sorry this is off topic, but it seems like you answered Weitbrecht's question.

     

    Are you now using EverWeb in addition to iWeb.  I'm currently still using iWeb in Yosemite without much issue, But Yosemite killed off iMovie HD 6 and I'm wondering when I should make the switch to EverWeb before the same happens to iWeb. I still have iMovie HD 6 on a drive with Mavericks, but would prefer not to have to do that eventually with iWeb.

    Hi Joe,

     

    I have not used iWeb for sometime now.

     

    I have purchased EverWeb and did re-build one site with it, but am not really using that.  I have moved over to the Content Management Systems (CMS's) and am currently using Drupal, as this extends a lot more flexibility for what I currently want and need to do with my sites - members only pages that are easy in Drupal and not so easy with EverWeb.
