Question categories:  Guest Book

I am still using the old guestbook. is there a way to edit or delete its entries?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Yes, you can modify the old Guestbook entries exactly as you wish. In order to do this you have to edit manually the file guestbook.html. This file is created during installation and you can locate it in your {home} folder - /html for Unix-based accounts or WWWROOT for Windows-based accounts.

Here’re step-by-step instructions on how to modify your Guestbook entries:

  1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
  2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
  3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
  4. Select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
  5. You’ll be directed to the Setup section. Click the File Manager icon.
  6. Enter the /html folder for Unix-based accounts or the WWWROOT folder for Windows-based accounts.
  7. Find the guestbook.html file and click the Edit button ().
  8. Now, find the entry you wish to modify. If you want to delete a given entry, remove the whole paragraph (the paragraph starts with <b> and ends with <hr>.
Important: You shouldn't remove or edit the line containing <!--begin--> or your Guestbook will stop working.
  1. Click Save & Quit to finish.
