Why the editor doesn´t reflect the real view?

Dear Weebly Administrators,

I bought my year plan some days ago and I´m already frustrated. After working for long hours I have realized that the changes I do don´t really appear in the final website, although I save and upload them. And I have to do it again and again! And when it finally works then I realized that by magic, a picture in the blog is totally out of place (even when in the editor is right placed)

And what happens to the link button? I have to press it 50 times ( I have counted it ) in order to make it works. The menu just flashes and it just dissapears ( I have cleanned cache as you have told me and tried in different computers and it is always the same)!

Why the changes I do after long hour work are often not saved and published??

Please give us some solutions, because I feel I´m wasting my time.

Please excuse me because I don´t want to sound rude but I am spending a lot of time on this and I don´t see any advance

Thank you very much in advance

Hi @Carlosvs

I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're having with your editor saving! Here are a few tips that are common issues with this. When you're editing a text box, make sure you click off the text box (this is how the editor saves your text) before loading a new page. 

Also anytime you leave your computer for a while, then come back to edit your page, make sure you refresh it before you edit it, this will ensure that you're still logged in. It may seem like you're logged in, however your login may have expired, doing a refresh is an easy way to check it. 

With the link option, are you trying to link to another page, or are you trying to link to a file? Also are you using a desktop / laptop computer to edit your site, or is it via a mobile / tablet device? 

Also which browser / browser version are you using? 

Sorry for all the questions, these should help me to further diagnose the issue. 

Thanks!

Thank you very much, that tips have probed very usefull. I appreciate it.

The only thing that still doesn´t work is the linking menu. It only happens when trying to link a picture. I have tried it in a laptop and also a desktop, with explorer 11 and chrome, and there is no big change...

Thank you very much

Hi @Carlosvs,

So glad to hear those tips were helpful for you! Which page and image are you trying to link? Also where are you linking it to? 

I'd be happy to test this from my end and see if I have the same issues.

Thank you very much, the thing is the it happens before being able to chose any picture o to link to any ipage. It is just that the menu disapears so fast I can´t select anything...

But after trying for a long time, there is a rondom posibility that it works ( maybe 1 after 50 clicks), So I was able to finnish my website and I´m proud of it Smiley Happy

It was worth the time Smiley Happy Thank you very much again!

Hi @Carlosvs,
