I am new to Family Historian6. I completed a family tree and printed it in a tree format. However, when I went to publish the tree as a website, all I can get is an index with a list of names that can be referenced individually, getting only a few direct relatives. I would like to generate a web site in the same tree format that I printed. I am also technologically challenged, so the simpler the answer, the more helpful. I am using Windows 10, although I had the same problem before upgrading.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Re: web publication in family tree format
Welcome to the FHUG Barry.
Unfortunately, the FH Create a Website wizard does not offer fully interactive Diagram trees.
What it does offer is the ability to include a static copy of any Diagram like the one that you printed.
At Step 4 – Add Items for Table of Contents you can include any image file, such as a Diagram saved in JPEG format.
i.e. With the Diagram displayed use Diagram > Save Diagram As > JPEG File (.jpg)
Then in the wizard Step 4 use the Picture Image option and <<Select that saved Diagram JPEG file.
See how_to:make_family_tree:step_4_add_items_for_table_of_contents|> Family Tree Wizard ~ Step 4 – Add Items for Table of Contents for details.
If you need more detailed advice then please ask.

If you have very large diagram a good option is to use the Save As PDF option and add the PDF to your web site as a file using the same page Mike suggested.
