  • 1.  event website

    Posted 06-06-2025 09:12

    Hi all,

    I am currently working on my first event website and have some questions. It is the simplest website possible. The website itself shows a picture of a chef and the details of the event. The guest should click on register and insert their information and if their email is in the guest list then they receive a confirmation.

    The first one is that when I open the site designer everything is as I designed. But when I go on preview all texts are changed to the template default one. The event is published and still does not update... I have cleared my cache and nothing. 

    2) I have created the weblink under marketing but when I access the link it mentions the site is not ready

    Hi Denise! 

    Simple question, did you just save your changes or did you publish your changes for your event website? I would make sure that the changes were published.

    Did you update the theme for the website? If not, I might check to make sure that the theme is updated with the font you are wanting to use. 

    When you cleared your cache and temporary internet files, did you close and reopen your browser? 

    Regarding the website link you created for Marketing, is your site active or live to accept registrations? If not, the link will not work until the site is active/live. That has been one of my most requested changes over the years as there should be a way to test the links and ensure that they work. Best recommendation I can give is to test all the links immediately following going live before you send out invitations. 

    Good luck!

    Thanks Lindsay!

    Yes, I have published the website but now that I made more changes I keep getting the following red errors:

    • Your theme has been applied to the site, but it's not saved to your Theme Library.Go to issue
    • Image Alt Text is requiredGo to issue

    I have no idea where and how to save the theme to the library and I also have no idea what a alt text is. I click on go to issue and just takes me to these topics page but I do know how to make those changes.

    If you look at the right-hand navigation or options, you will see Build, Sections, Theme, Settings. Click on Theme. You should see a "Save As" button. Give the theme a name. Click Save.

    To add the "Alt Text" for the Image, click on the images on your page. Once the window appears on the right-hand portion of your screen, scroll down in the sub window. You should see "Alt Text" field box. It has a red "asterisk", you will need to add whatever text you want to be displayed with the picture. 

    Once you have addressed both of these, save and publish your website.

    Just to elaborate, "alt text" is an accessibility feature most commonly associated with screen readers for individuals with vision impairments.  It allows you to put in a few words that describe in text what an image on the page represents.  For example, your alt text might be 'a chef with a white uniform is chopping vegetables.'
