I purposely saved a couple templates from Facer creator and replaced #DMMM# #DdL# (which gives error) with #DMMM# #Dd# and every one of them will not save with all 3 formats. Someone screwed something up somewhere. I have yet to create a successful face today. Come one Facer, get your shit together already!!!
Once it fails you almost have to totally rebuild the watchface from scratch. Just fixing the problem areas won’t fix it for some reason. It’s almost easier to start a new watchface and make it look like the one you’re trying to fix. It’s almost like Facer Creator is holding a grudge against the failed WFF face.

I’ve never known that to be the case. I have in fact never had to start over when a face failed WFF conversion. Many many times I’ve simply edited a failed WFF face to fix the issue and it’s gone through fine.
As for the OP’s point, something definitely happened starting Friday where WFF are not publishing. It’s been reported by many. It’s the weekend so I guess we wait till tomorrow.

Ive been unable to publish to WFF since Friday. Something is broken. Hopefully Facer will get it fixed on Monday. I even tried creating it from scratch but with just a few elements to no avail. Publishing to legacy platform options is working ok
Nope - that’s not the problem because EVERYTHING FAILS
Same here
Are we talking making WFF in Facer Creator? Or, importing .AAB’s into Facer Creator not working?
For me its Creator that is failing - even the simplest faces - image and digital time fails.
Tried to upload a face… Nothing! With Beta, without Beta, cleaning the browser cage, try three different browser, tried it on the phone and the tablet but no success… I’m definitely ready to delete my account… maybe that would solve the problem
Yeah that has been some sort of glitch with publishing since Friday. Fingers crossed the team is able to get it sorted soon.
I agree, and a quick message from Facer here with some information would be appreciated.
Looks like the problem is solved! Just synced a new wff face without problems. Thanks Facer Team!
That’s great news - but two things…
- A Facer noification that there is a problem
- A Facer notification that the problem is resolved.
Would have been good…
Facer has a lot to learn about communication
Partners who are active here can relay anything that is allowed to be shared in the community. There may be an announcement soon.

You are right of course but Facer should not be relying on partners to inform. Prior to the latest tranche of new partners, partner involvement was almost zero (apart from yourself and one or two others). By the way does anyone know how many partners there are?
Also I am quite sure that the Facer user base is bigger than those who participate or even just read - my comment still stands.
I must say Facer communication has improved though
WFF publishing on Facer is now working.

I think you are right, there is always room for improvement. But in the grand scheme of things I think they do pretty well compared to other similar sized apps. This particular instance it seems the weekend played a role in the slower than usual response to this kind of sitewide issue.

- Not all partners have English as their first language so they would have to use a translator. The problem there is that forum banter can be misconstrued in translation - even in communities that use AI built-in translators.
- Some partners cannot devote as much time to community as the team of regulars here because of other full-time responsibilities.
- There may be some new partners who are not as dedicated to supporting Facer as others are. An example would be anyone who has been implying on social media that designs using imported features are somewhat better.
- As for the number of partners, I would need permission to share that information.

I made this on the Facer Creator WFF Category on a Blank Template . Published it and synced it to my updated watch from Fresh Faces. Well done Facer . Still a few things that are sticky . Syntax stuff . I found I could not use - to separate date elements . Also Z works for tags that use it for leading zero but L does not and one has to use the well known ( Now ) Jiggery Pokery .

Isn’t Partner participation a requirement? Nobody here expects perfect English - the Facer translator seems to function well and levels of English are also varied but we seem to manage. I understand that partners can be busy. As far as the question about the number of partners I can understand that you need permission to say how many partners there are.
ALL the partners who appear here are doing amazing work in helping others , along with many, many non-partners who do the same. This community forum is unique in every way and is by far the best out there. Please forgive me if you think my comments have been only critical - that was not my intention. Facer is great and can only be even greater!
