Robohelp 2020 webhelp output headed with old project title

I renamed the project, in FrameMaker and changed the title in Project Settings.  I believe I have correctly modified presets.

The old title continues to display, while everything else looks good.

A string search shows this title in the generated toc.new.js file in the whxdata folder, but I can’t figure out where it is coming from.  I deleted the !SSL! folder and recreated - still no change.  Where can it be coming from?

Thank you,

Barbara

    So if you’re importing the FM content each time, you’re creating a brand-new RH project each time it’s time to create new output. So your new RH project would have the new name. Then when you generate the output, the Preset holds the output name you want to see - see https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2020/outputs/outputs_responsive.htm 

    So I’m finding it hard to see where it could still be “using” the old name.

    @Jeff_Coatsworth is the person to help with this issue and I see he has responded. This is just to make you aware that whatever your preset is called, it is no longer really webhelp. When you upgraded to 2020, it became an HTML5 Responsive Output. That is explained here. https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2020/introduction/upgrading.htm

    I’ll leave you with ​@Jeff_Coatsworth on the root problelm.

    So, you have a FM project that you renamed and then did what to get it into RH? Are you importing the FM book or linking an existing RH project to the FM content?

    The project was renamed in both FM and RH.  The project has been maintained in FM for years, I started working with it about 2 years ago - I confess that I had little experience with either Framemaker or RH.  

    I make changes in FM, and then import changes into RH.  Everything seemed to work well, after making the project changes - with the exception of the title in the webhelp.  I can’t figure out where it is set or still set.

    In response to the message from Peter: I inherited this project (FM/RH documentation) after the 2020 upgrade.  There are many things that just don’t work well -- but after 2 years, I suspect there is no going back.  Whatever you can do to assist in changing the name will be appreciated.
