    Your website files need to be uploaded to your public_html folder. Double click, “public_html” to open this folder.

If your website will be in a separate folder, then you need to look for the folder where your files will be saved and click it. For example, if you are publishing your website into a folder called “blog”, then the website path may look like https://document_root.com/blog.

    1. Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having. You should be able to use the standard FTP settings to upload your site, if you are still having trouble it may be easier to contact our Live Support team so they can walk you through in real-time and help troubleshoot any issues that may be occurring.

    1. Hello Mugisha,

      Thank you for contacting us. I found a post via online search that explains how to embed code in publisher 2007.

      The above guide will help you publish to your web host.

      You would have to custom code it to make it work as a smart phone app.

  3. Appreciate the article,

    Especially since I did not think it was possible to post from MS Publisher. However, I do use WordPress and can post a newsletter from MS Word. I noticed in the artcle it is for html site, so how could I post to a WordPress site?

    Thank you,

    1. Hello Rodwell Smith,

      You should be able to export the HTML like normal and put that HTML code in a post or page.

      Best Regards,
