How to Resolve Publishing Issues in Sparkle

  1. Verify FTP Settings:
  • Ensure that your FTP settings in Sparkle are correctly configured.
  • Sometimes creating a new FTP user without sub-folder restrictions can solve the issue. This new user should have full access to navigate to the correct folder where the website needs to be published​
  1. Export and Manual Upload:
  • Export your website as “Save to Disk” in Sparkle.
  • Use an FTP client like FileZilla to manually upload the exported files to your web host.
  • Ensure that all necessary directories (like css, images, and js) are correctly uploaded and structured​​.
  1. Compress and Upload:
  • If your web host has limitations on the number of files that can be uploaded at once, compress the exported website files into a zip file.
  • Upload the zip file to your server and then use your web host’s file manager to unzip it​
  1. Check Web Address Configuration:
  • Verify that the web address entered in Sparkle matches the directory structure on your server.
  • Ensure that Sparkle is pointing to the correct subdomain or sub-folder​

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contacting Sparkle support directly with specific error messages and screenshots can provide more targeted assistance based on your hosting environment.
