I've looked into both your suggestions now and realised I tried both when I was first learning to create the php pages. Converting Word to html creates a lot of its own html code which is useless for creating php pages and very confusing when it comes to editing them. I had to learn to use TNG's his...

Thank uou both - I'll look into your suggestions.

The 'save as a webpage' option doesn't work very well for me. It messes about with the formatting, moves the pictures and their captions and seems to overwrite some lines twice. I've added a snapshot (I hope) of part of the page to explain what I mean. I didn't know it could be embedded as html for ...

I have been using FH as my main database for my family research for years and I am now trying trying to tidy up the notes and various media files, with a view to updating my TNG website mainly with updated histories of some of my ancestors. I tend to create these 'histories' - mini life stories - in...

Yes thank you, I've read that. A quick test of the queries didn't bring up any errors on the Sample file. One or two of the custom facts appear to be missing - these were attributes, not events, but other attributes I added are there. It's not a huge problem as the missing attributes were only linke...

Well! That went so smoothly I can hardly believe it. :D :D :D Still looking at the sample project for now but I can see the upgrade has brought across my customised diagrams and icons which is where I have caused myself problems in the past and so far it is all looking good. All my custom queries an...

Thank you. I'm going to make some free time this afternoon and do the install then. I'll let you know how I get on.
Fingers crossed

I know - I'm sure the problem is with me. probably too keen to get it installed and not doing the preparation as well as I ought - hence spending a lot of time preparing this time and hopefully not missing anything. Does it look to you as though I have everything covered please?

Thank you,
Sharon

Yes that's one of the pages I've been following, together with the page on Installation at https://www.family-historian.co.uk/install7 and the one on Notes on Upgrading to Version 7 at https://www.family-historian.co.uk/help/fh7/hh_start.htm#notesforupgradingusers.html , as well as the Help and Advi...

I am just about to upgrade to v7 from v6.2.7. I have had awful problems in the apst when I have upgraded FH, so I have been reading all the help I can find to make sure I have backed up everything I need to to make sure I don’t lose any data, I can get the new version installed as smoothly as possib...

Ahh - I realise now I have used that button before when using a plugin for the first time.
Thank you both.
Sharon

Mike - where can I find the Help & Advice topic you refer to please?
Thank you,
Sharon

I've been looking at all the replies since I last logged on, and to the thread highlighted by capnkeith (which I found a little confusing though) It looks like I'm not the only one with this problem: namely to uplaod a gedcom with all details, so that those with access rights to see Living people ca...

Hi tatewise, I have spent most of the day working through the processes for 'Exporting to Website without Sensitive data' - mostly trying different scenarios in terms of Living/Dead flags and having n/k, (or not), in the Death Date field. The results look good, but it has just ocurred to me that a f...

Thank you Tatewise. I'll have a look at all of those things now.

@Colin - I don't have any place data for the records concerned, so hopefully that won't be an issue.

Thank you
Sharon

Yes I used the Export Gedcom file plugin and followed the steps in the Knowledge for TNG and Import details. I didn't use the Export without Sensitive Data section as that appears to be removing living or private people, and I want there to be at least a box in TNG to show someone exists. Consequent...

Thank you Tatewise. The reason I want to put n/k in date of death is because it is clear to me that an indivual must have died based on other information/dates I have available, but I don't know the death date, and in a lot of cases don't have a birth date either. I hoping in this way I can then tid...

I'm looking for some means - possible a plug-in or maybe a query - to change 'Date of Death', where it currently contains the word 'circa' plus a year to contain only the phrase 'n/k' . I tried the Search and Replace plugin, but it will only replace the actual word 'circa' and leaves the year untouc...

Thank you for your help Jane. I had seen the Knowledge Base page you gave me the link to but I was confused by the reference to v4/5 (which I stupidly thought was a version in itself). Thank you for clarifying this for me. I have read the page carefully and followed some of the links which seem to a...

Hi there. Two days ago my laptop crashed big-time and I could only get it up and running again after doing a reset. This essentially re-installed Windows (version 10), keeping all my personal data, but removing all applications. All my Family History files, folders etc look fine, but I would appreci...

AdrianBruce, tatewise,

Thank you - I'll look into both those suggestions.

Regards,
Sbaon

Once again tatewise, thank you very much. I have renamed my folders and gone through the steps you describe below, and hopefully I am now more 'standard' in the way I am set up. I do have some long media names so that I can see in an instance who the record relates to, date, what it is etc, but in t...

FWIW, early on, until I became familiar with FH's project structure, I did accidentally create a project 'folder within folder' a couple times which needless to say was confusing, with all files duplicated. The actual FH gedcom is a bit nested (e.g.- -DriveLetter:\Family Historian Projects\FH03\FH0...
