Publishing, Backup File, Images Issue

[suomi48]

Ok, so I have published my website. However, because I had to buy a new PC (Windows 11), I had to reinstall WYSIWYG. Now, I want to edit my html coding, but I can't because my website's .wbs file won't allow to edit html coding, and neither will the autobackup file. Additionally, the autobackup file doesn't have any images that are on my published website.

Here's my issue: How do I edit my html coding? Do I have to redo my website and add images, or what? I'm at a standstill.

WYSIWYG Web Builder is not an HTML editor, so you cannot use it to edit HTML code directly.
If you have previously created your website with WWB. Then you will need to open the wbs file to make changes.

The purpose of the built-in backup functionality is not to make make a complete backup of all your files.
Instead it is to help you go back to a previous version of your website. Making backup of all the images and other assets would take a lot of extra time.
And those files are generally already back-upped by your system backup and on the server.

You do not edit the .wbs file itself, you open it with the software and make any and all changes you need, save and then republish all relevant html files, images scripts used.

Additionally, the autobackup file doesn't have any images that are on my published website.

Did you not backup the images first then transfer from your old PC to the "New" by using the likes of a external drive or pen drive?

If you have or had done the above then you can bring all images back into your project using the asset manager and as mentioned once you have then you simply republish your site.

If you create the .zip file backup (under the File menu in WWB) all of the assets will be included. And you can choose to upload your project to the server when you publish your website so it is recoverable from there.
