you can set the global cover from the world config styling tab, and also page by page in the article/catagory display tab

where has the export world function gone?
Feb 17, 2020 02:34

export world is a higher level feature, its in the 'utilities' tab in world config if you have access to the feature

Looks like the export functionality has been removed.

According to this article, the export should be available to all creators. How does one go about exporting if they don't have the option in the Utilities tab? https://blog.worldanvil.com/2018/09/30/new-feature-world-exporting/

if you're a freemen you can still download your pages, but you have to do it per page. It will be in the 'additinal actions' section when editing an article. i've been told that the reason whole world download at once isn't avalible is becasue the massive resources it takes up when used, plus that its not finished as a feature. the site is still in beta and usually they wait for a feature to be more complete before releasing it to everyone fully

Any plans to return this feature to free users? Call me paranoid, but I like having a local copy of all the time and effort I've put into writing...

free users can still download each page individually, this hasn't changed. and the never could do the whole world at once (and as resource intensive as it is i doubt they will get whole world at once)
here's were to find the per page one (screenshot taken from a freemen account)

Where do I upload the cover image?

a quick line explaining where to find each feature might not be a bad idea

For my world I can't get the current date to appear on the home page and it will only let me enter a number.

how do you rename your profile? I accidentally misspelled it
Apr 22, 2020 00:39
I worked out how to add co-authors to a world on my phone, then I tried it on my computer and couldn't find the option. So I went back to my phone and tried to find it again but now I'm unable to find it there. Was I hallucinating this option before?

Hi, How do you set your authors profile to display on the world homepage?

Where do I configure the world map? I want to attach a newly uploaded map to the world as a whole. Do I need to create an article?

how can I set a word count goal
Aug 21, 2020 08:25
You'll find the "Word goal" box in World configuration -> Settings -> Advanced. This guide is a bit outdated (but already in my to-do list to update).

Small heads up that for Master+, there is also the global header as well. (Thanks for the article, I'm glad to know it's onhand to send users in the Help channels) https://discord.com/channels/348060277989965844/378865780768374784/810028919277355008

I've been trying to read to private comments people send me and I can't manage to find how to access them. Help?
Feb 27, 2021 11:48
Hi! Comments to articles should appear in the article itself, regardless of their visibility. Are you sure you're going to the article they've left a comment in and looking at the comment box?

The person left the comment on my profile, not on a specific article. (Sorry for the time it took me to answer)
Mar 13, 2021 12:26
Hi! I can see a comment on your profile, in the Guestbook tab. It's where you should see all comments left to your profile. If you can't see any comments there, that a bug and should be reported!

How does one remove maps from the the coverpage? I don't want every map visible right away.
Apr 28, 2021 14:11
Hi! It looks like maps can only be set to appear in a different position. But you still have two options: edit the map, go to the "Map Settings" -> "Display & Privacy" tab and uncheck the first checkbox. Do this for all maps and they won't be displayed. Alternatively, if you know CSS, you can remove the section by setting it to "display: none;" (feel free to ask in the #guild-css-help channel on Discord if you need help with this!). Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions!

How does one give access to a co-author to edit the meta data of a world? For some reason a person can have Subscriber and Author access to everything about articles and timelines and such but not the meta data.
Jul 12, 2021 20:29
Hi! Yes, the meta is currently editable by the original world creator only.

I have a question about the genres setting. It says not to choose more than 5 but it seems to let you do it, so is it alright if you do? Will it break your world if you do?

You can do it, it won't break anything. It's just that the world index only looks at 5 genres, so people won't be able to find your worlds if they browse the other genres.

I'm trying to find where to change my word count goal. However, it doesn't appear under Config>Settings>Advanced, despite all instructions saying it should. Has it been moved somewhere else, or is it just me?
Jan 13, 2022 15:21
Hi! You should still be able to see it under the Advanced settings. It's the "Word Goal" box, right under "Tags" (fourth section from the top). Hope this helps!

Jan 13, 2022 23:15
Nope. It goes language, genres, tags, then worlds profile display weight and storage status. Looks like I've just got it weird or something??? Thanks for your help, anyway!
Jan 14, 2022 12:12
Sorry, I didn't see you were using a free account. I'm afraid the word goal is for Guild members only!

how do you add a picture to a world homepage? Is it available to freeman?
Feb 7, 2022 09:37
It is! The text box to edit the homepage content accepts all BBCode options, so just insert the image as you would in any other article.

Feb 9, 2022 07:19
I mean where do you go to add an image to the top of the page
Feb 9, 2022 10:01
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. Click the palette icon at the bottom of the left sidebar ("Styling") and use the "Global cover" drop-down!

Since the article doesn’t mention it, how do you reactivate a stored world? I can’t seem to figure it out.
Nov 2, 2022 09:05
If you click on the World Anvil logo on the top left, you'll access the global dashboard. There, click the "Your Worlds" tab at the top. Scroll down, click on "Stored worlds", and you'll find them there.

Hello, somehow my World Codex is showing up in the right sidebar in every article I have. How do I remove this? I have tried removing all CSS but it didn't help. I can't remember if there is a box I check or what. Thank you, Ryan
Nov 28, 2022 09:41
Hi! It's possible you added it to the global announcement block. Go to the world configuration page, go to Display -> Global Content and check if there's anything under "global article announcement block (sidebar top)" or "global article additional block (sidebar bottom)".

Thank you Ondo, that was it.
"Delete World If you really wish to delete your world, you can do so here. This process is irreversible." Where?
In your world configuration, scroll all the way down and it's on the right hand side at the bottom.
Follow me on Bluesky for more pixel art :D
tanks!
UPDATE: This was not at all straightforward for me, it may have been moved or not, but anyway, NOW: World > Configuration > "UTILITIES TAB" > Then the "Delete This World" button is there. :)
Thank you for this you really helped me.
Where might you go now to delete a world things have moved again?
