I will stick with WordPlus for now

However, I do have one more question.
Is it possible to create a horizontal navigation bar with drop down options?

Do you mean Webplus or Wordpress?

If you mean Webplus it has a number of horizontal navbars with dropdown options.


Thanks Joe

I have no idea - I don't use WordPress ... Sorry.

Sorry this has all got confused.
I want to stick with WordPlus at present. So I was looking if it were possible to create a horizontal navigation bar with drop down options with that software?
It is not the end of the world if not.

Thanks Ali,
The website I quoted was built using WordPress, again very easy & straight forward.

WYSIWYG Web Builder gives you way more control over your websites than Word Press, It is not a hosted solution - it's a build-your-own solution like WebPlus. It's a different animal altogether.

Thanks Ali,

I did appreciate that.
For what I am trying to achieve overall at the moment I will stick with WordPlus for now as the page sizing is the only "restriction" and I can get around that another way.

Thanks for listening and offering advice.

However, I do have one more question.

This is where WebPlus falls down, and it's one of the reasons I stopped using it in December last year when I started building my new website. I now use WYSIWYG Web Builder 20 instead, which makes responsive websites nice and easy to do.

Whoops. Yes I did mean Windows 11.

What I would like to achieve is the effect that https://berkshirecricket.org/ has an example where their page/content resizes according to the window it is viewed with.

You seem to have created the effect on your website. smile

I can alter the size of my pages but they are fixed.

Thanks to help from the forum I have over the last 9 months successfully migrated my development platform from running on Windows 10 to a Windows 10 machine. What a difference smile

It has enabled me to put new life into our website.

What I would like to do now, but cannot find a way, is to not have a fixed page size, if that is possible.

The first task was to download and make a copy of the relevant install file, then install it (fingers crossed).
This worked without a hitch, including registering it with my original product key.

I then loaded the relevant *.wpp file then saved it as a copy.

Step 2 was, following advice from this forum, to step through each page ensuring that each graphic file was correctly linked.

Step 3 was to repeat the above for each link to internal pages or documents still worked. Correct if not. Fortunately, they all worked.

Step 4 was to repeat Step 2 for each link to external pages, documents or websites.

Step 5 Test the link to the Host Server.

Step 6 PUBLISH and have a large glass of wine.

IT WORKED

Migration from Windows 10 to 11

It looked to me as though the transition was going to be potentially very difficult as my prime reason for wanting to transfer to a Windows 11 Operating system as that my Windows 10 PC was starting to fail and needed more time spent on love and care than I did on the websites I look after.
Luckily I have the Windows 10 PC linked to my Windows 11 using One Drive and all the files that WebPlus uses reside on the Windows 11 PC.

The other plus was that for each website I produced a design specification not only detailing a basic colours and fonts but other important things like ftp user names, passwords, other login details plus the all important WebPlus Product Key.
These were vital.


See my next post for the install story

I am potentially at the start of this journey.
I have use WebPlus X8 in a Windows 10 PC for sometime. All the files are on One Drive.

Unfortunately my Windows 10 PC looks like it is at the end of life.

All my other PC's run Windows 11 and are linked on the same One Drive so that is the good news.

My first question is where can I download a copy of WebPlus X8 to install on one of my Windows 11 PC's
