Hi Page Plus Users
Has anyone ever encountered this issue?
I use the software for about 15 minutes and then it crashes and I lose unsaved information. It's happening every time in the last 2 days and has never happened before that.
Any ideas on what might cause this? Because Serif doesn't exist now, there's nowhere to send the error reports etc.
I'm at a place of having to abandon the software if I can't rectify this.
Thanks for any advice

No, designing for mobile sites is not my main concern about using WebPlus X8 now. The bigger issue that should inform your choice of software is that WebPlus produces code that was up-to-date when Serif stopped developing that software. Browser architecture and security has changed in the meantime, and you would be far better advised to use software that is still in active development and keeping up with modern HTML rather than something that is stuck in the past and generating outdated code.
Ali, could I ask where you got that information about the coding changes? I asked my brother who is a programmer of a large company website and he said the programming language hasn't changed that much and should not be an impediment.
That's a pretty decent function Joe

Ok, Thanks. I appreciate your candour.
I used to use WPX8, but decided it was time to move on just over a year ago.
I now use WYSIWYG Web Builder 20, which allows you to build a responsive site that will adapt for all devices. There's a learning curve, but there is an active support forum.
If you stick with WPX8, you have to build a mobile-friendly version of your site and then set parameters for the desktop site to recognise mobile devices and switch to the mobile version - it's two sites, effectively, that would both need maintaining.

Hi Web Plus Users
I haven't used Web Plus for a number of years and trying to refresh my memory.
I would like to take my band camp home page and display that in a frame on my Web Plus site.
I recall (Hopefully correctly) this is possible, but can't remember the protocol to do it.
Can anyone help refresh my memory?
Very grateful
Thanks
Troy
Using Web Plus X8
Hi there
I haven't created a mobile site before and don't really understand how to do it. Could someone give me a basic explanation of the process to help me get started?
I have created my desktop site and now looking at how to do the mobile one.
Is there an option where all the objects from the pages on my desktop site can be utilised and re-placed on the mobile site to reduce the amount of extra work required?
Or do I have to build the site again from scratch?
Would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks
Troy
If you’re happy to use a solution hosted somewhere other than your own website — and why wouldn’t you be, if you were happy to use Serif Web Resources (SWR)? — then Cognito Forms is worth a look. It’s free for individual users.
Hi Afred
I'm looking at that option for my forms at the moment. I'm not entirely sure what that option entails. Are you putting a link on your site that the customer goes to the Cognito Site to complete the form, or can you make the form appear on your web plus site and then be sent to your email?
Thanks for clarifying
Troy
Hi everyone.
I'm a past user of Web Plus from 2010 - 2017 so I have a very good grasp of the software. I've just gone back to Web Plus after having 8 years in Wix and I'm half way through re-creating my site in Web Plus X8.
This time I'm wanting to include a store on the site. Some of the things I'll be selling include:
- Bamboo Flutes
- Tracks / Albums for download
- Downloadable Music Lesson Videos on different topics
- Prepaying music lesson fees
I have a paypal account, plus stipe and square, so have a few options to receive payments already in place.
I would love some feedback on different options to create a store on Web Plus and what people are doing successfully.
Many thanks
