Hello,
I'm working on a project with a professor of mine and we are using LabVIEW to monitor the system. We want to turn our Vi into a website so that we can remotely monitor the system instead of having to go out to the system. We are currently using LabVIEW 2019 and tried the Web Publishing Tool that is available. We ran into an issue where it says that a plugin is blocked when we view the webpage and the front panel doesn't appear. Is there a solution to this problem or is it simply because webpages and how they operate has changed since LabVIEW 2019 was released. If it is the case that it simply doesn't work anymore what are some good alternatives to publish our Vi with the same end result.
Thank you for any help you are able to provide.

This is because the plugins are deprecated in most browsers.

As was mentioned by ZYOng the plugin needed by the web publishing tool doesn't work in modern browsers.
An alternative is to create a separate Web Application that can communicate with the LabVIEW application. G Web Development Software gives you the tools to create a web application and the services to connect it to the LabVIEW application. If you're interested in that alternative the How to Build a Web UI for Your LabVIEW-Based Test System presentation goes step-by-step through options for web-enabling an exisiting LabVIEW application with G Web Development Software.
