Ok, I am in the dangerous place of knowing enough to cause trouble but not enough to do things correctly; and yet still have to be the one who does the work.
When I edit a sharepoint site, I see one thing, users see something else.
I have SP2013 Enterprise, On premise, SQL 2012.
I have configured Excel Services, Analysis Services - and they work
I developed an excel workbook with PowerPivot and deployed to a Sharepoint site via Excel WebPart
Permissions are set correctly as users have to login to open the site
However...
When other users go to the site, they don't see the information I posted, they only see the default screen. By default it looks like a business intelligence site before I added anything.
In short - the content I have put on my SP site is not being seen by anyone else. WTF do I do now???
Thanks
Did you perform a check-in of your page ?
If publication feature is enabled, did you publish the page ?
A page has to be "checked in" for others to see your modifications.
And if publishing is enabled, it should be published.
If the content of your page references other sharepoint content (file,page,...) they should be checked-in also to be visible to others.

How can I change look and feel of a SharePoint site in SharePoint online. I want to be able to change the master page i.e remove left navigation and change layout and what is there in masterpage.
There are so many articles and samples in the web that provide information on changing the UI of a Sharepoint site,
Below are some- >

You can have custom css files and do changes to master pages using the SharePoint designer which can be downloaded using the below link.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35491
Still its preferred to go with out of the box themes as MS push updates to your sites which may break your customizations, even though there will be a notification in your Admin center it can only be seen by the admins and if the message is not passed it may break your customizations.
Is there any way to make a full backup of Sharepoint Online web site based on Office 365 without third-party tools? Tried to google it, but found only ways to manually backup list or libraries. I'm need to save user properties, permissions, webparts, etc.
Thanks for help!
Since it is SharePoint online, you won't be able to perform a full-backup as you'd be able to do with Backup-SPSite.
However, you can save your site as a template. If your publishing feature is enabled for this site, you'll need to enable saving the website as a template via SharePoint Designer. Under the "Site" tab, select “Site Options”, find "SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled" and set to "true". Then
add this to your site's url:
/_layouts/15/savetmpl.aspx
Fill out and submit the form. In my experience, that should take about 10 minutes, or the working on it screen might never change. If the later happens, you can check for your solution on this page:
/_catalogs/solutions/Forms/AllItems.aspx
This option might not work if your site is over 50MB, so you might need to forgo checking the option that allows including your list content in this backup.
I have restored a content database to SharePoint 2010 (which we completely broke after upgrading TFS to 2013).
When I open the content site, all the sub-sites are listed, but clicking one of these "sub-sites" goes to page not found. (The sub sites were created from TFS 2012 when new team projects were created).
How do I get the team project sites to work again?
You likley do not have a managed path configured for your SharePoint sites. If you look at the URL of the sites that you can't see you should be able to figure out the managed paths to add.

You are kinda defining mount points for site collections here. Without that mount point SharePoint will not render your sites.
I'm working on remolding my companies current exsisting Sharepoint site. I installed the SP ZAP Slideshow webpart and went to the sharepoint site to insert it, and absolutely no webparts were listed. I went into the provided Sharepoint 2010 central administration and realized that everything seems to be listed as
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sitepages/
When the website were hosting, and it should be listing is
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sites/
I went to the /sitepages website and all the webparts exsisted and worked, however i need to get them working on the /sites page. Is there some way to switch it so it will not default all the webparts and content i'm uploading to the wrong page? I feel as though the wrong default page is listed? sorry new to all this!
Web Parts, which you see listed and are able to insert on a page when you edit it, come from the Web Part Gallery in the site collection. They are usually installed to the gallery when you activate their site collection-scope feature. Check what features you didn't activate in the new site collection - I suspect that one of them is responsible for the installation of Web Parts you are looking for. (The scope of the feature can be site collection or site - check both.)
I use VS2010 on Server 2008 R2 with Sharepoint 2010 Foundation.
I have created a custom master page following instructions from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg447066.aspx (activating my custom page as feature), and was delighted with the results. But as soon as I changed the images and attempted to deploy them through VS2010, I noticed that my changes were not showing in the page (which was still showing the old images).
Useful observations:
It's a Sandboxed solution.
I checked that wsp is built with the new images, and so it was.
When I retract my solution, I also go to Master Page Gallery, and
delete my custom master page from there to make sure I start from
scratch. No difference.
My SP Designer does not give me an option to "revert to site
definition".
My "Look and Feel" section in central admin does not offer a
"reset to site definition" option.
Checking "CustomizedPageStatus" property of the SPFile for my master page shows that it's set to "none", and indeed, calling RevertContentStream throws an exception. This indicates it may not necessarily be the unghosting issue.
Does anybody know where my images get deployed to, and what the cause of this problem may be? The "Deployment Location" property does not lead to the correct location (in fact, I can't even see my Feature's folder). Could it be something to do with the way variables in the path - {SharePointRoot}\Template\Features{FeatureName}\StyleLibrary\Branding101\Images\ - are parsed?
I am new to Sharepoint, so all and any help would be much appreciated.
Since this is a Sandboxed solution, everything gets stored in the content database, accessible through SharePoint Designer 2010. In SP Designer, open the site you are working on, then look under "All Files" in Site Objects: that's where I found my masterpages, images, etc.
Deployment paths (displayed in module properties in VS2010) are just red herring, as no deployment to the file system itself takes place. Hope this helps somebody else!
