Thanks, Luri, for such a quick response. Now that I understand about the GEDCOM uploading and THEN being able to edit that, I'm well on my way. I didn't realize that you can't edit the FTB format. Unfortunately, it still didn't solve my problem with linking the child with his parents. I even re-linked him in my FTB file, but no change. He's obviously linked in the FTB file. I'll keep trying to re-do it in the FTB file and then upload again until I get it right.
Imagine, I got help from someone in Brasil. Isn't the internet amazing? This would not have happened 15 years ago.
Please, Is it possible to translate the "View full article" button from English to Portuguese, i.e., "Ver artigo integral"? We know it´s a challenge to maintain a software in many languages, but our good old relatives only speak Portuguese. Therefore, the English button mislead them.
Can you please write to support@myheritage.com describing your problem in as much detail as possible. Including which steps you follow what error messages you get and screenshots if possible?
When we add a news article to the front page, sometimes the full article is displayed on front page and sometimes only the first part of the article is displayed on front page.
I have an article which is 3.110 words long. It is too long to be fully displayed on front page. It would take much space of front page. So, I would like to display only its first part on front page. To view the full article, viewers would have to click the "View full article" button. However, I don't how to do this. I have already tried many ways, but nothing works. The article was typed in Microsoft Word, copied and then pasted into Family Pages news article editor. In the other hand, some other small articles typed or pasted into Family Pages display only their beginning on front page.
How can I control how many words or characters of a long news article are displayed on front page?
then my guests visit my family tree, they see name of not dead family members as <privacy>. and don't see photos, dates, etc. can i edit this privacy settings? i want my friends can see my family tree,comment this, but dont want doing all them members. thank you! sorry my terrible english
You raise a good point. You are not the only person to request the ability to add documents to your family site, there are other members who are requesting the same capability. We certainly take your suggestions into consideration and will do our best to add the function as soon as we can.
Currently, you can add photos and video to your family site in the Albums section.
If you’d like to add documents, the best thing to do would be to create a News article and copy the text from your document there. The advantage of this is that the News article will be displayed on the front page of your site so everyone that comes to visit your site will see it right away. You can also attach photos to the article if you wish.I hope this advice is useful to you.
I had to delete a tree, and then re upload it. When I was uploading and it finished I got a message: Warning 2 photos could not be uploaded or something like that. My question is: How do I know what photos didn't upload. I've got a couple hundred pics and I don't want to go through every pic. Is there an easy way of knowing which pics didn't work? I thought if I did it all over again it might fix it but that didn't do it, same message: Warning 2 photos...yadayadayada. There was no other message and I looked all over to see if there was a message telling me which photos didn't work. No.
You are right there is no message saying which photos are left out but thanks for the suggestion!
What I can suggest is though to check if all the attachments that you put in were in fact photos.
Doc., xl., or pdf. files that were attached to the tree are not supported on the site so if you attached them to your tree they will be left out on the site and you will still get a message saying that not all the photos were imported.
Are you asking about adding weeding dates in FTB (family tree builder) or on the site?
If it is on FTB, then when you add a spouse to a person it shows the marriage link between them and another window appears below showing that they are married with the family’s edit button. From that edit button choose `Edit details` where you will find the option to enter marriage date also.
If it is on the family site then again when you add a spouse on the left hand side in facts part you see marriage as a fact. If you select it you will see the option to edit the fact where you can enter the marriage date.
In my new small site souzauchoa.myheritage.com, I added a news article with the "Display this article in front page" checkbox selected, but the article is not displayed in front page. This problem does not occur in my regular site paulacolares.myheritage.com. It seems to be a software or database problem. How can I display articles in front page in my new site?
Did you try attaching any other article on this page?
Can it be that there is something in the article itself that is causing the problem? Maybe it has pictures that are not supported or it's exceptionally long?
Can you please try attaching another article with the word test in it and check the box for it to be displayed on the front page. Then go look and see if the article shows up or not.
I don't want to invite every person to this tree because they would not want that. How can I add an email to a person in the tree without inviting him/her?
I am the webmaster of our family website. I have added news articles. I always turn on the checkbox to "Allow others to post comments on article". Nevertheless, when members click on "Add comment" on the article on the front page, the box "Comments" does not appear to them. The box "Comments" only appear to webmasters.
How can I allow others to post comments on articles? I have already checked all website settings and have not found any setting pertinent to this. It seems there is a software problem. May you please help me?
In order to download your family tree as a Gedcom, go to Family Trees>Manage Your Trees.
There you will see a list of all your trees with the option to download on the right!

Hi
I am trying to download/import from the site to family tree builder as well, and when I go in to manage trees the only action option I am given is to view the tree. Please help; I have put heaps of info onto the tree online, and just downloaded family tree builder. Am I going to have to go through and input everything again, and have it keep telling me to create a family site when I just want to get the tree from the already existing site onto my computer?
Of my page, everything looks good again! No problems anymore! Nice of you to ask!
