Using a 5.1.23 or earlier version of TiddlyWiki

You can use TiddlyWiki 5.1.23 instead of the 5.1.24 prerelease, but there's some extra steps needed.

Procedure

1. Download a 5.1.23 empty file. (Optional).
   • (Skip this if you have a existing TiddlyWiki file you want to upload.)
   • Click "Download" at GettingStarted, or use curl, e.g:

    curl -s https://tiddlywiki.com/empty.html -o newsite.html

2. Login to Tiddlyhost.

3. Create a new site as per usual. (Optional)

   • (Skip this step if you want to upload to an already existing Tiddlyhost site.)

4. From your (new or otherwise) site's "Actions" menu, select "Upload".

5. Click, "Choose file..." and find the empty you just downloaded, or the existing 5.1.23 or earlier TiddlyWiki file you want to upload.

6. Click "Upload" file, and you should be taken back to the sites list.

7. Click on the site to open it in a new tab, then click the gear icon to open the $:/ControlPanel tiddler.

8. Click on "Saving", then click on "TiddlySpot Saver".

9. Fill in something in the first two text fields, "Wiki Name" and "Password". It doesn't matter what you put there since the values won't be used, so just type literally anything in those two fields.

   • Actually your browser may give warnings about vulnerable passwords if it's "abc" or something like that, so it's better to type something longer and more password-y in the password field.

10. Click the 'Save changes' icon and you should see "Starting to save wiki" the "Saved wiki" notifications.

Explanation

Pull request #5455 is the reason steps 7, 8 and 9 aren't required for all newly created sites on Tiddlyhost. That change is in TiddlyWiki 5.1.24 prereleases, but not in 5.1.23, so that's the reason why Tiddlyhost uses a prerelease version currently.
