Disabling your website at startup

Contribute alerts you if it detects a problem with any of your website connections when it launches. Contribute displays the alert after the first website connection problem it encounters.

You can have Contribute try to connect again. If Contribute still can’t connect, you can choose to disable the website connection and try to connect to your other websites, if any. If you disable a website, you can enable it after you resolve your network connection problem.

Note: You can choose to disable a website at any time--not just at startup--when there’s a problem. If you have multiple websites, you might choose to disable websites that you aren’t currently working on so that Contribute does not maintain the connection for an extended period of time. For more information, see Disabling a website connection.

To disable a website when your network connection fails:

  1. Start Contribute.
  2. The Connection Failure dialog box appears.

  3. Select Try to Connect Anyway to force Contribute to continue checking for a network connection.
  4. If Contribute still fails to connect, Contribute displays an error message with two options:
  5. Click OK.

To enable a disabled website:

  1. Select Edit > My Connections (Windows) or Contribute > My Connections (Macintosh).
  2. The My Connections dialog box appears.

  3. Select a disabled website from the list, and then click the Enable button.
  4. Click Close.
