I'm using and recommending the Mobirise automatic website creator to others.
I have a question about the proper way to publish and save the website to just one specific folder.
When publishing the mobile friendly website to a folder, it gave repeated notifications that images were missing and located elsewhere and
gave me the opportunity to cancel, ignore or continue.

One I placed the old folder back where it said the images were, it exported correctly to a new folder.
I want to know the correct way to publish (and backup) the entire website to a new folder.
Many thanks for a great software.
I'm looking forward to an answer as I want to be sure I'm publishing and backing up to the specific folder I'm publishing to
without the worry that part of the project (images under assets, etc.) is saved in a different folder.
What is the correct way to publish (and backup) the entire website to a new folder without having to worry about previous folders you
published to may contain images, etc.?
I save routinely new versions of the website in a new folder name; and want the entire project (images, etc.) saved to a new folder
every time without images left behind in a previous folder where the project was saved.
As i understood your main problem is the loosing of the project images while you publishing your site?
I don't lose images. Images are lost when I try to restore database from a published folder and software looks to another folder for images. that was deleted.
There is no easy way to backup entire website to any folder you choose to because the software looks to the original folder when you first created the website for the images; and maybe more information, not sure.
Solution: Provide a BACKUP option that backups the entire website to any folder of your choosing; and when you might need to restore the entire website in the future; every item would be completely restored from the folder. Or, when you publish to a folder, have the entire website published to that folder; to copy to website and/or restore entire website from.
For instance, as software is now, say you created the website on the C drive and after that published the folder to an external drive. Your C hard drive crashes; and you only have backed up what's on your external drive; which in essence, you've lost your web site.
I think the best and easiest solution on your part would be to:
When you publish to a local folder, the entire website (including images, etc) is published and backed up to that local folder as well. If your drive letter changes in the future, the backup should still be able to be restored for the folder you published to. In the event you need to restore your entire website (if original folder website created in was deleted, lost to hard drive crash, corrupted, drive letter changes, etc.,) the only folder you need to restore the website is the last folder you published to.
I actually thought that was the way it was, that the entire website was backed up to the folder you published to, and almost lost a website; but was able to get the folder images, etc. by restoring the original folder out of my recycle bin.
So, I'd suggest the best and easiest solution would be to:
During the Publishing Process, back up entire web site (assets folder, images, etc.) to users choice of any local folder and restore would not be dependent on drive letter (in case drive letter changes). The entire website would be able to be restored from the one local folder you last published to.
If users wanted to use same local folder each time, they just overwrite same named files that original folder during the publish process. I like to use a different local folder each time for backup; just so files will be clean each time with only the must have files the website needs.
Your software is great and I enjoy using it; but must have a foolproof way to reliably backup (to one local folder of my choosing) and restore websites regardless if drive letter changed. From reading the forum, your users would also like the same ability to easily backup and restore the entire website.
Thanks for all your efforts in making such a great software and your willingness to keep making it better.
PS: I've purchased all your addons, and like very much the drop down bootstrap menu feature and ability to code html.
Thank you very much for the feedback. We will share your thoughts with our developers.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
In future, we will improve the publishing of the sites. Also, don't forget to update your app to the 3.12.1 version.
