Hi All

I have a TW hosted on TiddlySpot that uses TW version 5.1.14. Now that version 5.1.15 has been released, I would like to upgrade.
I have followed the instructions at https://tiddlywiki.com/#Upgrading and now have an upgraded version of the TW saved on my local drive.

My problem is, how do I get my upgraded local TW onto TiddlySpot?
Or, can I avoid creating a local file and somehow upgrade TW on TiddlySpot directly?

Cheers
Andrew Mc

Hello, have you tried going to Control Panel >> Saving >> TiddlySpot Saver ? Just input your Wiki Name and Password there, and then save. That's how I did it.

Yes, I did try that, but was not successful. I will try again once I am back at my home computer.

I have upgraded a couple of my TW's on tiddlyspot, but it was not without difficulties. I had to try several times before success. When the upgraded TW finally was uploaded to tiddlyspot, I could not save. I am sure my password was entered correct, but got the mismatch message. I failed to see any logic in this.

I could open on my TW on tiddlyspot in firefox and save without any problems using the very same password.

I have entered my correct wiki name and password in the TiddlySpot Saver settings and then tried multiple times to save but just cannot save my upgraded TW to TiddlySpot.
After opening the TW on TiddlySpot, I saved a local copy (by removing the password). After opening the local copy, I was also unable to save this version back to TiddlySpot.
I am using Firefox 57 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Hi,

Try Chrome instead of Firefox.
Yesterday I upgraded all my guides at Tiddlyspot without a problem.

Linux Mint 17.3, Chrome 62

Hi Ton,

Interesting. I am also using Linux Mint 17.3 but Chromium Version 62.0.3202.89. Right after tiddlyspot was working again, I uploaded with no problem. I got an opdate to Chromium and since then it has been difficult.

Hi Birthe,

Strange. I use Chrome Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit) and a few minutes ago I tested it again.
I can update/upload/save my local TW to my Tiddlyspot TW.

Cheers,

Ton

Hi Ton

Good suggestion. I used Chrome and the local TW saved successfully to TiddlySpot.

Cheers

Hi Ton,

Thank you for testing this again. It made me realise that the problem I had probably had to do with my import of passwords from another browser. I had totally forgotten about that. The first upload success I experienced was a new TW ;-)- Thank you, everything works now as expected.

I'm having trouble uploading my upgraded TW5 (5.1.15) to TiddlySpot as well. I can enter the password in the "TiddlySpot Saver" tab, but whenever I leave the tab, the password vanishes, and saving to TiddlySpot fails. 

Any ideas why? I am using Chromium Version 63.0.3239.84 (Developer Build) on Debian 9.3 (64-bit).

Cheers,

Stef

Thank you for the feedback! However, saving still doesn't work here. Maybe I should mention that my TW is encrypted, does this matter somehow? 

Cheers,
