New Video Widget features
EverWeb 1.9.5 adds a number of highly requested features to the Video Widget:
- Video Volume Settings: You can set the Default Volume Level for a video, or choose to Mute the video’s sound altogether
- Video Settings: ‘Autoplay’ plays the video automatically once the page has been loaded, ‘Loop’ plays the video continuously and ‘Show Video Controls’ let’s you remove the video player’s control panel.
- Video Poster Image: This option puts a default picture of your choice at the front of the video. The ‘Poster’ helps video download speeds as the video won’t have to downloaded first to supply the Poster Image as it’s there already. The Video Poster Image is not supported when Autoplay is checked.

When using the new Video Widget features please bear in mind the following.
- Downloading a video can take up a lot of bandwidth, especially on a mobile device. We recommend that you warn your visitors of this possibility so they can decide to play the video or not. It’s also recommended that Autoplay is set OFF.
- Playing video or audio with sound on is not a good user experience. If a website starts playing a video or audio clip in a public place it probably wouldn’t be appreciated.
How To Update To EverWeb 1.9.5
You can easily update to EverWeb 1.9.5 by
- Launching EverWeb and going to the EverWeb menu at the top of the screen and selecting ‘Check for Update’ or by
- Downloading EverWeb from the EverWeb website.
Remember, you won’t lose any previous data when updating since your website project files are stored elsewhere on your computer.
Important! If you purchased EverWeb as a standalone product the upgrade will not be free if your license has expired. You can check your license expiry date at any time using the EverWeb-> Preferences…menu. The ‘Next Due Date’ in the ‘Account’ tab shows the date your license is due for renewal.
If your EverWeb license has expired you can easily renew it by clicking on the ‘Manage Account’ button. This will take you to the EverWeb ‘Client Area’. Select the Services-> My Services menu. On the ‘My Products & Services’ page, double click on the EverWeb product that has expired. The ‘Manage Product’ page is where you renew your license. Once you have renewed your license, use one of the above ways to update to the new 1.9.5 version.
If you do not want to renew your EverWeb license but have already downloaded EverWeb version 1.9.5 you will not be able to publish your website(s). In this case, you can easily re-download EverWeb version 1.9.0. Follow the instructions in the above paragraph to get to the ‘Manage Product’ page. On the left of this page, select ‘Downloads’ and choose the version of 1.9.0 that you need either the OS X 10.6 version or OS X 10.7 and later version.

This is a great feature for creating a members only or private section on your website. This feature requires EverWeb One-Click Publishing.
404 Not Found Page and 301 Redirects
This new feature may sound advanced but it is extremely easy to use and very powerful.
This new feature may sound advanced but it is extremely easy to use and very powerful.
404 Not Found pages let you assign a page that should appear if a user tries to visit a non existing page on your website. For example, they could be following an outdated link or they could have mistyped your page in their browser. With this feature you can make sure they see an actual page and not a cryptic error message.
This feature requires EverWeb One-Click Publishing and can be accessed from the Site Publishing Settings screen.
301 redirects lets you completely migrate an old website to EverWeb while keeping your current search engine rankings. Lets say you had an old iWeb site and you wanted to transfer it over to EverWeb. The page URL may be different so this feature lets you forward a specific iWeb page to a specific EverWeb page.
Simply copy and paste your old iWeb URL (visit it in your browser and copy the URL from your browser) into the Redirect field (at the bottom of Inspector->Page Options) and EverWeb takes care of the rest. Now whenever someone goes to visit your old iWeb page, they will be redirected to your EverWeb page.
