Deleted text still exists in published html, but not wbs

[ShadowMakerSdR]

Hi,

Today I googled a site that I created and in the search result it shows the title text from a previous version of the site.
When I actually view the site, this title doesn't show up visually, because the published html contains
This is in the first row and column of my layout grid. But when I open the wbs file of this published site, the first row and column do not contain any objects. Even when I turn on 'show hidden objects'.

The generated html stll contains this:

<div id="wb_SanderTitelSmal">
<span style="color:#DCDCDC;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:24px;"><strong>Sander de Regt - scenarioschrijver</strong></span>
</div>

Even though there is no object in the wbs that should be able to generate this.

This is in build 18.4.1

Is this something that's known? And is it something that I can fix without having to go into the generated html? I feel that deleting an object should delete it, not render it invisble to the user.

First note that if you remove an object then it will also be removed from the HTML, the next time you publish.
But it may take some time before Google updates it cache.

If you need further assistance then please share a DEMO project (.wbs file) so I can see all your settings.

I do not need the complete project because that will only take more time to figure out what you have done.
Basically, I just need a small project with one page and object(s) that are relevant to your question.

Hi Pablo,

Thank your for replying. The example can be found here.

To see the issue, just go to the first colum, first row of the MP_HME page. There is no object in there that I can see. But viewing the created html (Ctrl+h) shows a title that's not visible, not selectable, that is published.

A similar issue can be seen when previewing the page and viewing the source in the browser. The entries for keuzemenu contain:

Code: Select all

<li role="menuitem"><a href="./index.html" title="Home" class="nav-link Menu_v_320-effect">home</a></li>
<li role="menuitem"><a href="#" title="Over" class="nav-link Menu_v_320-effect">over</a></li>
<li role="menuitem"><a href="#" title="Scenario&apos;s" class="nav-link Menu_v_320-effect">scenario&apos;s</a></li>
<li role="menuitem"><a href="#" title="Columns" class="nav-link Menu_v_320-effect">columns</a></li>
<li role="menuitem"><a href="#" title="Liedteksten" class="nav-link Menu_v_320-effect">liedjes</a></li>
<li role="menuitem"><a href="#" title="Contact" class="nav-link Menu_v_320-effect">contact</a></li>

but the actual object in the wbs file only has links to abstract, realistisch, ruimtelijk en video and contact. So why is it creating this in the html if there are no objects to drive it?

I've just downloaded the wbs file. It appears to have 1 page - index - with one object in it - IND_PG - which is a photo gallery.

I have looked at your project but there is an object name 'SanderTitelSmal' in the first column. It is hidden.
You can view this via the Object Manager

[ShadowMakerSdR]

Thank you for taking a look. That is indeed the culprit. I didn't remember that the object manager was a seperate view option.

You mention it's a hidden object. I can't remember hiding it, but that's fine.
Shouldn't it appear then when selecting 'hidden objects' in the Render section of the view tab in the ribbon?
Or is that a diferent setting.

[Pablo]

Hidden objects will not take up space in floating layouts. So, even if you render it then it will not be visible because its size is zero.
