Dreamweaver CS5.5 Can't update my site!

I just switched from a PC to a Mac. I exported one of my sites from the Windows PC and copied it over to the Mac. When I 'test' the connection it connects sucessfully, but when I try to upload using Dreamweaver it gives me a error related to permissions. Since it tested ok I know the password is correct - I even retyped it and retested it to be sure - but it still won't upload to the site via DW. (BTW using a Filezilla I can access and upload files to the site).
Any help appreciated!

I found the answer! It seems that with DW 5.5 there is a known issue that affects 'some' (according to Adobe) users. The solution is to delete the webformmailer.php file in the root directory of the site on the server. I have no idea why that works, but it seems to have fixed the problem for me.

Dreamweaver CS5 - Can't create new site ( SpryAssets)

Hi guys,
i tried starting a new site in Dreamweaver CS 5 but it's not possible because of needing a SpryAssets folder. No, i know how to create a site, but since Dreamweaver is installed on OS X Lion, i can't get it to work. I do every thing like I am supposed to do, but nothing helps. I've seen many people with that problem so there must be any help. Please dont just post links on how to create a site, i know that but my problem looks more like a bug and not like a problem because of myself.
Sorry for my bad english,
greetings
Peter Zwegat2

Hello Peter,
hope I understood you correctly: Please let's first talk about your directory structure. I for my part use something like that:
Now MY DW has no problems in finding my "SpryAssets" folder. Please control your pathes. In DW source code sometimes these ../ or ../../ can be helpful too.
... and better, please send a link to your webite in question, no matter how it looks like.

Moving from MX2004 to CS5 -can't update library items

I have upgraded from MX2004 to CS5 and at the same time upgraded laptops from a macbook to a macbook pro. Not sure how it happened, but the source for the two local views is diferent now (both files have the same name, but one is in lower case -so I know they are different). I think I 'loaded' the new one from a memory stick where I stored the site in case anything went wrong, but had named it differently.
This is causing me real problems trying to update library items on the new laptop, as I can only seem to do it on the old one (which means moving the whole site backwards and forwards).
On the old laptop I am asked if I want to update all files, but on the new one I get the message:
"Making this change would require chaging code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded"
How can right things or synchronize them so that I can ditch the MX2004 and old laptop?

Perhaps I have not been specific enough, it's not a single file, its the whole site that is drawn from different sources on the two different laptops.
Apologies if I have given an answer to the wrong question Murray and caused you to shout 'doh!'

Dreamweaver FTP error when updating BC site

Hi,
I recently changed by Adobe ID password due a possible security breach.
When trying to "put" some local Dreamweaver folders to update my test BC site i got the error message;
" An FTP error has occurred. Cannot make connection to the host your login or password is incorrect. Please check your connection information".
I know this must be straightforward to sort but I can't seem to work it out.
Can anyone remind me how to update connection information to reflect my new password ?
Kind Regards, Matt.

Hi Matt,
You have changed your password online but if this is a saved project in Dreamweaver you also need to go in and update your details in that saved project with your new password as well. Have you done this or entering your new password in DW?

Let's look at your stylesheet -
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image: url(assets/images/Business%20Men%20In%20Reception%20Col.2.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #003;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
It's a good idea not to use spaces or any punctuation in your filenames when working for the web.
#header {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
#heading {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 36px;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: normal;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
There's no need to specify the default values (font-variant:normal) or to specify auto margins for any block element without an explicitly defined width. And wouldn't it make more sense to put the font style on the body tag, where it will inherit into the rest of the page than to restate it as you have done in the next rule?
#bodytext {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 25px;
font-variant: normal;
width: 300px;
#container {
width: 960px;
position: relative;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
.rightimg {
float: right;
margin-left: auto;
padding-right: 40px;
#heading #navbar ul li {
padding: 30px;
</style>
Margin-left:auto can't work without knowing what the width of the element is.... Keep your CSS lean and targeted - it will help you to debug your layouts.

Updated a page and now the "Publish Site" stays gray and can't update the site. What's up?

Updated my iWeb page and now it won't publish. "Publish Site" stays gray. What to do now? I'm not using Mobil Me. FTP published. Workd before. Haven't a clue now.

Try making a minor change to that same page, like moving an object a couple of pixels one way or the other, and see if the File ➙ Publish Site Changes menu option will work for you.

I have OSX 10.7.4 but can't update "Google Sites"?

I was given permission to update my groups google site, but I cannot get my MAC to even show the edit screens on google. It works on my Iphone (runs IOS) but I don't know what to do to get my MAC to work with google sites????

Scrap it and re-download it. Be sure you have a fast Ethernet connection.

IWeb8 - can I update 1 site with 2 computers (desktop & laptop)

I am up and running OK but more by good luck than judgement. I don't begin to understand the 'domain' concept.
I have iWeb on 2 machines and assumed that I could use either to update my website on the assumption that iWeb is making use of the same iDisk.
I'm probably trying the impossible - it would be helpful to learn a little about why.
Ta

It's not impossible:
You can store your domain file in a remote location, such as a file on your iDisk, so that iWeb accesses that domain file from each computer that you use. The secret is to double-click the domain file from each computer, so that the iWeb software then looks to that location. I haven't tried it, but here's the scoop from the experts:

Dreamweaver CS5: Impossible d'enregistrer un site

Menu behind spry slideshow dreamweaver cs5?

Using Dreamweaver CS5
Hi. I have a site with a css3 dropdown menu that seems to work fine on all of my pages except my photo gallery page. The menu appears behind the Spry Slideshow with Filmstrip that I got from the Widget Browser.
The site is not live and only on my local machine but here is the page html in a text doc: http://www.210usa.com/index.txt
Here is the main css: http://www.210usa.com/css_prob.txt
Here is the slideshow css: http://www.210usa.com/css_slideshow.txt
I have changed the z index but that is not helping at all. I found this for problems with flash docs but I am a real novice and do not know how to even put these tags in my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Grüss Dich sailor,
in my opinion "SpryTabbedPanels" actually only do what they should to do and so it inevitably leads to the covered menu items. I played a little bit around with the width from your "css3menu1/style.css"
height:22px;line-height:22px;border-width:0 0 3px 0;border-style:none;border-color:#009900;border-radius:10px;-moz-border-radius:10px;-webk it-border-radius:10px;padding:3px 10px; width: 650px;}
and I got this:
so you can see what I mean. To correct this you had to put down your "photo gallery for Mystic Pizza II" so far, till there is enough space for the panel. And therefore I would prefer a solution by using a "SpryMenuBarVertical" leftmost on your page (if you mean it's necessary so too on the right).
Glück auf!

Dreamweaver cs6 does not update links when moving files.

Dreamweaver cs6 does not update links when moving files. I've tried changing my general > settings for "Update links when moving files" to "prompt", and Ive tried "always". Neither work for me. The files are moved fine, but the links don't change. When it's set to "prompt" - I'm never prompted. Is this a bug or is there another setting somewhere?

I haven't define a site. I've opened an index.htm file within a folder structure that I have on my MAC. When I moved a file called art.htm (within the files tab) from a subfolder into the root folder with the index.htm file, it didn't update the image links in art.htm.
In order for DW to manage links, you absolutely MUST Define a Site...

Also, you MUST use the Files tab within DW to move files around within your Defined Site in order for DW to know it needs to update links.

Advice on Dreamweaver CS5.5

I have spent 35 minutes attempting to purchase Dreamweaver CS5.5 from the Adobe site. The main page would not allow a change of country from USA and when I found an Australian download page Dreamweaver CS5.5 was not listed. I used the 'Send an email" option without success.
Please advise my best next move.
Many thanks,

Hi
Adobe has never allowed the correct exchange rate to be applied to product purchases outside the US, and it is one of the major reason that many people outside the US look for alternatives, (even microsoft stopped this type of policy years ago), and if you look at the UK purchase site, downloads cost more than the boxed version!
Macromedia did allow the correct exchange rate to be applied when one purchase from their site, so in my opinion this is just an Adobe profiteering scam, But that's just my opinion.

Hi,
In addition to what Ken said, I would suggest that you give Edge Animate a shot as well.
Creative Cloud is available as trial version for 30 days and almost all creative software is bundled with the Creative Cloud. Tutorials are included for each of the products on the respective sections of the website. For instance, this site Website builder | Download free Adobe Dreamweaver CC trial gives you access to the trial version as well as tutorials.
I suggest that you go to http://creative.adobe.com and explore the various options available.
For any purchase related information, feel free to send me a private message if you need further clarification. Click on my picture and use the message option. The experts on this forum can help you with other questions you have on using Creative Cloud.
Thanks,

Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

Hello! New to the forums, here.
I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW. That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for. Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders. Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code. In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site. If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder. See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
lol your not wrong there!
For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'. Edit CSS on screen. Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server. No testing server required.
Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.
