   I am again on that friend's site (Shou Bo). I made the BaseLayer with all necessary, and used it to make new pages. Very strange the way it acts. After I made the "new page from layer" and named the page as I need, it doesn't show all the elements I've included into the Base Layer so I don't have an exact view. I had to change handly all links to a font they asked for (Papyrus LET) including it in WEFiles/Fonts, 'cause looks the css doesn't save it with the path and the next time I open the page, it is not shown. Also I had to change manually all logos 'cause the program recorded the old one and doesn't change with the new. I tied many times to refresh the page and the BaseLayer, but I'm afraid I'll have to start again from BaseLayer and made new pages... is it possible correct it?

	Hi, It is very strange. Did you try Ctrl+F5 in the browser? You still cannot publish online anywhere? It is the only efficient way to see where problems are. Good day D

	Thanks Dmit. I downloaded and installed the latest version. I have tried to refresh the entire site, but problem still there. So I had to remake all pages, using the BaseLayer as beginning. One thing I don't understand: why certain pages are linked to the BaseLayer and others not? Those linked contains double code; I mean the page is doubled in the code, but shows only one, the last worked. So, if I delete part of the code I lose also part of graphic datas (both). And there, I have two datas: one coming from BaseLayer and one of the page I am preparing. Avoiding that, I decided to remake them, but it would be interesting understand the why of that.

	Using "Copy layer to page" creates a copy of the layer and transforms it into a page (all content is there exactly as in the original layer, but this copy it not in the list of the layers and is not in the Templates folder. If you then make this new page inherit the original layer, the content will be "doubled" as the content of the page adds to the content of the layer (which is visually identical being the origin of its "clone"). Why do you want to copy a layer to a page?

	Well, for me the Layer is as a simple style.css used to give same and first informations to a number of pages, so I can use it for the page and I can add elements in relation to that page. The layer is the base of all pages (logo, header, buttons etc), and only after I will add other elements for ending the page, but it should add only the primary code giving chance to the user for adding others. If I tell to Oe "add new page" it gives me an empty one" and I have to prepare it again... well this is what happened to me time ago, and for that I used the BaseLayer repeated...

	A layer is much more than "information". It is like layers in graphical editors - it provides a layer of content, which is a part of the whole content. Base layer provides elemens and certain styles that are "inherited" by other pages. If you inherit an empty page from a layer, you get all that the layer contains. And of course if you put a "main menu" to a layer and inherit all pages from this layer, and then you want to change a link or a text in the menu, you only need to do this in the layer - all the 250 pages inheriting it will get the update, so you don't need to go change each of them (imagine changing something like this each 5 minutes).
