Why do changes I make in Evernote not always show up in my blog?

Put simply, things can get lost in translation as content from Evernote gets sent to Postach.io, especially during high volumes. If you are effected by this, the first thing to do is check to make sure your notes are tagged with "published" and that you've synced Evernote. Lastly, go to your Postach.io dashboard and do a ‘manual sync’ (click the sync icon on your site), then refresh your browser.

For big notebooks (200+ notes, regardless of tags) please allow up to 20 minutes for the synchronization to complete.

Can I create a post archive page?

We do not support an archiving function at this time though we have mention of one on our roadmap at some point. All themes support pagination so as your posts grow, there will be "more posts/previous posts" buttons at the bottom of themes. Hope that answers your question.

Can I run out of bandwidth?

All bandwidth used is from our CDN and from the main site. None of it comes from Evernote.

For example: when you upload 70 hi-resolution, 8MB RAW images to your note in Evernote, you're using up your Evernote bandwidth which you are provided for free, or if you're Premium you have a lot more space. On our end, when we receive the webhook of an updated note, we use our own bandwidth to upload the images to our CDN and display them on your site from there.

In the future we may impose bandwidth limiting, but for now everything is free :)

Why doesn’t the content in my web clipped notes show up in my post?

Unfortunately there is no way to show the content that is clipped as there are legality issues in displaying the content of a clipped note verbatim on a site in the way that Evernote clips the content. There are also styling issues of the clipped content that we just cannot account for when designing themes. So we've made a design decision to display the source URL and the comment (if added) of the clipped note in place of this to also allow commenting on the post of the article that was clipped. Hopefully that makes sense, let us know if you run into any issues.

Why don’t checklists in Evernote show up in my posts?
