Archived and Closed

This conversation is no longer open for comments or replies and is no longer visible to community members. The community moderator provided the following reason for archiving: Archived

A fix for this error was applied several days ago. The fix may still require that you sync a site before it applies to that site. If you see the sync message please check the box on the sync message that says Apply my choice to all files remaining and then click keep local. You may also select download published if you have a reason to do so.

It may take a little longer than normal to open as it syncs, but then you should not need to sync the files again. If you sync the files now as indicated in this post and then see it at a later date, then please report it to us by listing the domain name here.

Trying to update my website & Sitebuilder is again wanting me to Sync Files - evertime you fix it I can only edit one time before it messes up again!! This is happening so often that I am considering changing to another company! www.mountainviewkennels.org

Please read the topic at the top. There should a permanent fix in place, but you might have to sync one more time. We added an option to apply to all. Do that and it should not return again.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Local/published copies are different--all files?.

When I log in,I get a message saying the local and published copies of files are different. If I click on "view local copy," I get an error message. It seems like all the files are that way. I can't get to editing the site because I have to click on every file to keep the published copy. This happened a week ago and the tech guy refreshed the site, which fixed the problem. Can I refresh the site myself? There is no tech support available on weekends.

But when I click on "view local" I get an error message, and I don't want to download the published copy to my computer. What should i do?

I have the same problem.. Had it a few weeks ago.. I thought it was because I had brought up my sitebuilder desktop program (a few weeks ago), but I haven't brought it up at all and now the Sitebuilder Plus is asking if I want the published or local copy again.. Once again, I just need to get in and fix one little thing, and I don't have the time to click through all these files.. Drew, can you please explain why this is happening and if it is something that will be fixed soon? Also, can you please do whatever it is you need to do to fix this on my site.. it's www.karenskottage.org, www.sweetpeagirls.homestead.com, www.karenskids.net, www.sweetpeadollclothes.homestead.com
Thank you,
Karen

Karen, I'm not where I can do anything, but if you look at the post at the top, we have added an apply to all option. Use that to solve the issue. It sounds like the fix was put in place after you had the issue, so you need to do this once.

Thank you.. I didn't even notice the new option on the sychronize file option. And I didn't read the start of this question, either! OPPS! Is there a newsletter or anything I can sign up for that will give me this kind of updated info?

It wants me to download the publish or local copy.

i get this all over again.

I really need to be able to sign on and make changes to my website with out this

happening.

You guys have been great until this problem showed up weeks ago.

I need a website I can count on.

Thank you, Jodi

I have a website that has pictures and description of rental houses. When I try to log onto sitebuilder plus, before I can log on, I am asked the question would I like to keep a local copy or a published copy of a picture of a house. What is the difference between these two pictures?

Homestead has been working well until today. Now I am being asked to synchronize my whole site again. So what has happened this time. Please not more upgrading. I have synchronized all the web pages and now I am being asked to synchronize all my photos.These run into hundreds and hundreds. Please help me . I feel so depressed to have all this problem over again.

Audrey, I totally understand your frustration..I was there myself a few days ago..Go to the top of the page and read about how to synchronize everything all at once.. We've all been having this problem.. Have to say, if Homestead would just send out a notice to all their customers about stuff like this, it would prevent people from having to go through so much frustration!! Just saying!!!!!!

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Getting+the+message+"Synchronize+File." Options seem frozen..

Why am I getting the message "Synchronize File."
The local and published versions of this file are different. Both files have
changed. Which version would you like to keep "Download published
Copy" or "Keep Local?" No matter what I choose, nothing happens.
Seems frozen.

I had a problem about a week ago with not accessing my website, because of a message involving: "Publish" or "Local"
and was told that it was corrected-I'm having the same problem!!

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled STILL Can't update my site. It says I have to SYNC all files first..

I have had help with this but everytime I log in this still happens. I am unable to edit my site. I am very frustrated. I think at this point I need a refund for at least the 2 months I have been unable to update and I need this issue fixed permanantly. Issues occuring in both chrome, IE, AND Firefox so not a browser issue. It has been fixed a few times using this HELP venue but it only works at that time. Once I log out and log back in the sync message shows agian. Please someone fix this.

This problem was resolved a month ago. Your last post here about it was in late October. Follow these instructions and it should not happen again. If it does, let us know and we will take a look. Make sue to use the apply to all button.

No it was only resolved for that ONE log in time. Once I logged out and logged back in its the same issue. I could not find the original thread and I can't find a phone number to call to get assistance. So I made a new comment today. What instructions should I follow?? I don't see any listed?

At the top of this page. Make sure to check the box for apply to all. This should have been fixed as of 11/1. The last page I saw published on your sites was in October, so you should have to do this once more, then not again, but if you do, let us know

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Our Website Down all Week.

Each time we have tried to log into our website this week to upload changes as soon as we click on "Edit Site" option, error boxes keep popping up saying our files are not up to date, keep online copy or update, when you click on update or cancel, pops up new box for every file we have ever uploaded, and you can not get through to any pages on the site, this has been happening all week, is there a problem with homestead accounts at moment?
