different page in editor and when published

Hi, 

I have my website with Weeble: soundslikeastory.be. There is one part of the website that looks completely different when published and when I'm working on it in editor. And it is quite the important part, because it is part of my portfolio.

Could you please help me solve it?

I can send screenshots if necessary?

thank you a lot for your time!

Justina

@justina_SLAS The images in the Branded page are in a Weebly image gallery where each (thumbnail) image retains its default click behavior by launching the larger image view. If you click to the left or right on an image, you'll see that you can navigate through the three image set. If you intended for each image to link to a different page, in the Site Editor, you have to click on an image then click the link attribute and set the target address (the page to which you wish the image to link). You did this with the Stories and Sounds image galleries but you didn't add page links to the images in the Branded page gallery to each image and so they retain their default image gallery larger image view pop behavior.

@justina_SLAS The only pages that appear to be a bit different from the other pages on your site are those in the "sound" portfolio. Those pages are reached via the image links on the Sounds page (http://www.soundslikeastory.be/sounds.html). The Sounds portfolio pages appear to be using a yellow color gradient in the banner rather than a solid color with a title like you did with the Stories portfolio pages. You appear to be using the same "Header" page header type on all site pages.

If you mean that you'd rather have the Sounds portfolio pages look similar to the Stories portfolio pages, you need only modify the banner color to a solid color and either update the default title text, or, if there's no title there, drop a title element into the banner and add the portfolio category name, e.g., "Pop Choir" (note that your Pop Choir image link incorrectly opens the page in a new browser tab so you'll want to edit the link and uncheck the box to open the link in a new window).

A suggestion: you might contemplate employing blog pages for your Sounds and Stories portfolios. This approach would allow you to add portfolio items as posts to the relevant blog page (Sounds or Stories) and add indicative meta information via post Categories like "Spoken Word" or "Human Stories" or "Music Lessons." These would be high-level categories (you don't want too many so keep them relatively general) that you can apply to multiple posts. So, for example, stories about immigrant experiences under the "Stories" blog might fall into the category of "Human Stories." In a blog page, each post is presented in a diary format with a sidebar containing default category links and archive links. Clicking a category link would filter the blog page down to just the posts under that particular category, e.g., show me only posts categorized under "Pop Choir."

Hi Paul,

wow, thank you so much for your answer and suggestions! Really appreaciated!

I am sending screenshots or the pages taht I was refering to, because in my editor and when opening the page in the browser it's still different. (tried other computers, other browsers...it's always the same)

First photo is how it is in editor and second how it is when I open it in browser..

It is only in pages 'Stories' => "Branded"

All the rest works perfectly.

Thank you so much for your time and effort!
