Dreamweaver CS6: desktop interface is now abnormal. Irreversibly?

Hello to all:
    In Dreamweaver CS6, my desktop interface is now abnormal.   I fiddled with the Mobile Apps development features and now the Files section (usually to the far right) insists upon covering up the right portion of the website.   It's mobile when I want to return it to its (right-side) portion of the screen without covering up the website, too.
Might there be some sort of "default settings" button that I could find and click, to get things back to normal please?
Thanks and happy Autumn to all...   :-)

You can rearrange your workspace to set it up any way you like by clicking and dragging the named tabs of any window to the edges of the application frame, or the edges of other windows ,until you see a highlight. Once the highlight appears, release the tab to make the window stick to that location. You can also drag the tabs out to the center of the monitor and release them to create free floating windows.
Once you have everything the way you like, go to Window > Workspace Layout > New Workspace to give your custom workspace a name. From there on out you can Go to Window > Workspace Layout > Reset (name) to bring anything that gets inadvertently moved back to your custom setup.

My SSD with a running Dreamweaver CS6 version crashed. Now a new SSD is installed and every time I try to reinstall DW CS6 the error " inconsistency in the installation programm database" (in german terms) occurs. I tried to delete everything concerning to CS6, rebootet and so on - nothing worked. Two hours later I tried to install DW 5.5 - that worked. Afterwards I tried again to install 6.0 - without success. Can anybody help?

Thank you for your answer. I could not find caps.db.
Meanwhile I solved the problem as follows: I searched for "dreamweaver" everywhere an deleted everything I could find. Then I searched for "CS6" and did the same. I guess there were around 20 or more places where I deleted directorys or files. Suddenly the installation did not stop at 2 % what it always did before and the installation was a success :-) It cost me more than 4 hours to figure that out and I did not find a really helping hint somewhere. Adobe itself I could not contact because I could not find an email adress or a phone number - poor support for such an expensive software. For luck I did not have to deliver something just in time. Lacking a useful support is a really poor, poor attitude of Adobe... I think I will not buy anymore Adobe products - it could cost too much of my time... :-(

Hi Guenter
Just so you know. You should remove the download trial link from the official addt page on this site. It is there for download, but nothing happens. I was expecting a notification as promised on email, when addt was released. But no such email.
I have after a total reinstall of all my system MAC OSX 10.5.6 finally succeeded in installing all of Design Premium CS4. (Shame on adobe for making this such a hastle!!!).
But when i install ADDT 1.0.1 downloaded today it appears in my extensionmanager, but nowhere to be found in DW CS4. I have restarted DW before checking and all seems to appear ok in Extension Manager.
What could this be and are others having same issues

Graphic Noise in Dreamweaver CS6 Interface

I've got this weird graphic noise issue that appears quite often in Dreamweaver CS6. Anyone else have this issue, or know a fix for it? Doesn't effect functionality, but its quite annoying considering I paid so much for the software.

Does it happen only in the area you have shown in screenshot for DW Interface or is it in any of the Panels as well?
This issue also randomly scrambles images that are in the Split and Design views.

How to edit fluid grid layout in Dreamweaver CS6

Hi all
I am a designer at the company I work for and we've been building repsonsive designs for the past 12months. I've decided that it would be good for me to try out the new fluid grid layout tool in Dreamweaver CS6 to see if we can improve the design process by using dreamweaver to allow us to quickly prototype my designs for mobile, tablet and desktop.
However I have 2 problems so far.
1) I've created my first fluid grid layout and saved all the files into a new folder. I set grid widths and gutter but now want to edit the values as I am not happy with the gutter. Can this be done? I can't seem to find the file that does this so can anyone point me in the right direction?
2) We have traditionally used pixels to define our grids. I normally produce a grid with a fixed pixel gutter, overall width and column size. It seems that Dreamweaver only has the option to use percentages. Can anyone tell me if this can be changed and again where I can do this?
Thanks for your help
Trevor

In Code View, open your FluidGrid.css file (or whatever you named it) when you created the layout.
FluidGrid Layouts are not perfect and the interface could use a lot of improvement. That said, I think they can be used as a starting point for simple layout projects providing you understand their limitations and are willing to manually tweak the FluidGrid.css code.
If you've been doing Responsive Layouts for 12 months, you're probably building desktop to mobile whereas FluidGrids build from mobile to desktop. It takes a little adjustment in thinking.
Keep FluidGrid.css for layout only. Use a seperate stylesheet for your content styles.

Creative Cloud pops up with trail will expire in 0 days when I run Dreamweaver CS6

When I click on the icon for Dreamweaver CS6 a panel for Dreamweaver CC pops up with the message “Your trial will expire in 0 days” “00 days remaining. It offers “Buy Now” and “Continue Trial”. When I click the red x to close out I am returned to Dreamweaver CS6.
I reinstalled Dreamweaver CS6 but the problem persists. I do not want Dreamweaver CDC.
I tried to follow the instructions In http://helpx.adobe.com/dreative-suite ... "Creative Cloud Help/Creative Cloud applications unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CC ..." but I lost the thread.
I am at a loss at to what to do now. Please help.

Here are two additional items that may be helpful:
1.    I reported that Under Step 3 “Check Your Host Files – Still Have Problems? Reset Host Files” I did not find entries that reference activate.adobe.com. On further checking I found the Notepad file. It contained the following information:
Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
For example:
    102.54.94.97    rhino.acme.com          # source server
      38.25.63.10    x.acme.com              # x client host
localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
        127.0.0.1      localhost
        ::1            localhost
2.    On Saturday, 23 August 2014 I received an e-mail from Adobe Creative Cloud [email protected] that said
Welcome. We’re glad you’ve joined us.
Thanks for joining Creative Cloud. We thought we’d send along a few ideas to help you get started.

This is odd. What made them think I joined Creative Cloud? The Creative Cloud program is not installed on the computer and I have not downloaded Creative Cloud trial version or a paid version.
GOAL: My goal is to eliminate the CC pop up that occurs every time I access Dreamweaver CS6. I am satisfied with Dreamweaver CS6. I do not want to lose the CS6 capability. I do not want Creative Cloud trial version or the paid version.
So far I have been unable to remove the pop up and I can’t find a way to phone or e-mail Adobe Technical Support. When I received the CC Welcome message, I considered the following approach:
1.    Accept the invitation to Get Started and install the 30-day trial version
2.    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to uninstall Creative Cloud.
This approach might work. It is equally possible it would further complicate the problem.
Should I accept the CC invitation to Get Started with CC and then use CC Cleaner to uninstall the Creative Cloud program? Is there an alternative approach that will work?
Thank you.

Need details on how to move existing website to Dreamweaver CS6 and to Business Catalyst web hosting

Hi All,
     I need assistance with transferring an existing website - imagessays.com - (designed with Dreamweaver CS4) to my Creative Cloud CS6 account - and to web hosting by CS6 Business Catalyst.
   … step-by-step instructions would be most useful. I've got the Dreamweaver CS6 onDemand book, etc., ... I guess I’m just not enough of a geek to work my way through the steps and to get my site back moving ahead online.
    Beyond that, need advice as to how to repair a couple of non-funcitonal links on the site (check out imagessays.com to see a couple of pics that don't work). I'm looking forward to uploading more content and to do major upgrade to the site, but am unable to do so ... need technical support re how to do these simple (should be) things.
    Since setting up the website over 5 years ago, I have migrated from Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4 .... and now to CS6 ... and from a Dell XPS 450 running Windows XP to a Mac Pro desktop running Mac OS X.
These changes of version / machine / OS have separated me from the ability to do the one simple thing that I need to do with this straightforward website, that is: upload new pitchers and writins .
I look forward to assistance and support for this.
Thanks,
Jim

Dreamweaver CS6: font size in menus too small on 1920 x 1080 screen. [was: Dreamweaver]

Hi,
I am using adobe Dreamweaver cs6 and my Laptop screen size 15.5 (39.4 cms) wide (1920 x 1080). My Dreamweaver software top tab menus like File, Edit, View, Insert, Modify, Format etc. these are menus font size too small in my laptop display so i am facing problem in development. I have try to resolve this issue through change to desktop resolution but after change the resolution of window property i have get only little bit change in font size of tab menus but i am not satisfied with this change if you have any other solution for this problem please reply me or email me on [personal information deleted by moderator]
Thanks
Parveen Kumar

Unfortunately, the only way to change the font size in the Dreamweaver interface is by changing the display settings of your computer. On Windows, you can change the size of text and other items without changing the resolution by selecting Start > Control Panel > Display. I don't think there is an equivalent on a Mac.
If you find the size of the menu items a problem, I suggest that you submit a feature request through the form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

Dreamweaver CS6 uses old, deleted files: How can I get rid of them?

Hi Everyone,
this is my first posting... I have a problem that is really annoying. Using Dreamweaver CS6 on a Win-7-64bit desktop computer, I had external help for transferring a website into html5 and CSS3. When the site was nearly done, I imported the whole site and worked on it by myself using Dreamweaver CS6. This worked well, until I had external help again in the index.html file. I imported the new index.html file that was worked on externally, but dreamweaver does not allow this: It keeps showing the old index.html file that I had deleted before, even when I try to re-import the site etc. In the web, I found that it might be helpful to remove the file history using regedit. I did that, and also tried my very best to remove every remnant from the old version, aftzer that, used CCleaner and Tuneup Utilities 2014, and again, this did not help. I then thought the only way would be de-installing Dreamweaver CS6, again cleaning my whole computer for any probably remaining filed or .bak files, and then after several re-starts and cleaning processes, I re-installed Dreamweaver CS6, in the hope it would work now. However, Dreamweaver again came up with the same problem. Somewhere in the mists of the harddisk, dramweaver still must have access to long deleted files, and again does not allow me to work on the new corrected index.html file. Does anyone of you have an idea how I can get this working properly? Thanks sincerely in advance, and best regards from the Salzburg Lake District, Giraldus

Something seriously strange is happening on your system.
You deleted the index.html file from your machine and DW is somehow still opening it?
Can you have both the new and old one open at the same time within Dreamweaver?
If so, go into Source View and copy all the code from the new one. Highlight and delete the code from the old file and paste the new code in. Hit Save on the old file.
If that doesn't fix the issue, you'll need to contact your IT guy to have the wombats cleared out of your system. DW only works with the files on your hard drive, it doesn't store them, so if you've tried to delete something and DW can still see it, it's still on your system (the deletion attempt failed). You may have some kind of permissions issue or something more serious going wrong with your OS.

Intergrating wordpress with Dreamweaver CS6

I am new to Dreamweaver CS6 and trying to do a website for a charity . They require to update and add photos to their website. Some one suggested wordpress.I want to design it in dreamweaver but can anyone suggest how to intergrate wordpress with Dreamweaver. There will be only 2 pages at the most the client will have to update every month.I tried to download word press but it automatically opens Dreamweaver CS6 and displays an error saying
WordPress
Error: PHP is not running
WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.
i have it on the uniserver which has PHP already but what do I need to do for editable pages and secondly the error above, Please advice.

OK, there are several issues here:
Firstly, WordPress is a complete Content Management System. ALL of what you put up on that website will be done in WordPress, period.
Here's how Dreamweaver can help:
Dreamweaver can assist you in editing the stylesheet(s) for your WP page. But you'll need to add content using the WordPress interface, as all of your content will be located in a database and supplied from that Database.
What Dreamweaver is complaining about is that you do not have a server set up as a testing server so that Dreamweaver can show you what is happening with the server-side code (php). In order to do this, you will have to install WAMP or MAMP on your computer.
Or you could do what I did: Simply install WordPress on your remote host and don't use a testing server or designate that remote host as the testing server in Dreamweaver. (I have to confess, I never got MAMP to work correctly.)
Many hosting providers give you "Softalicious" that will automate the installation of WordPress on your server. If you have that, simply run it and you're all set.
If you don't, here are the steps to install WordPress on your server:
Requirements:
FTP Access
An available MySQL Database
The php software you wish to install
Create the MySQL Database:
Log into your Control Panel using the username and password provided by your Hosting Provider.
Go to your "MySQL Databases" in your Control Panel (CPanel) and create a database
Right below where you created the database, create a new user and password
Underneath where you created the user, you'll see two dropdown boxes, one with the user and the other with the database name. Add that user to the database, giving it "ALL" permissions.
*Note that the database and username has two parts: yourusername_databasename, and yourusername_username. For example, tester5_php1 and tester5_admin. You will need this for the software configuration.
Upload files:
Download WordPress from their site. Make sure you have the latest version.
Locate the folder on your computer that contains all the files for WordPress. Create a new defined site in Dreamweaver, and drag the entire WordPress site into that defined website in Dreamweaver.
Use Dreamweaver's FTP client to upload WordPress from your local computer to your remote host. On standard Linux/Apache webservers, you'll need to make sure that the Root Directory is set to /public_html/ or consult with your hosting provider to determine what the root directory is supposed to be.
Run the installation:
Typically accessing the installation folder directly in your web browser will lead you to the install page, otherwise you will need to refer to the documentation or README file for the location. Most of the installations are self explanatory and configure automatically. Either way, you will eventually need to provide the database information:
Hostname: localhost
db name: tester5_php1 (as you created in step 1)
db username: tester5_admin (as you created in step 1)
password: whatever password you created for the user in the database
You may also me prompted to specify Administrative login information. This information is in no way related to your CPanel or hosting provider, but is the information you will need to log in to the software's administrative control panel.
Once the installation is complete, WordPress will remove all installation directories so that nobody can mess up your installation by hacking in and re-running them.
Log in.
Now that you software is installed, it should give you a link to log in to the administrative control panel. This is where you will continue to develop this part of your website.

Stable updates to Dreamweaver CS6 build 5842 (Was: Simple Questions)

I'm using creative suite 6 design & web premiun. Question: Using Dreamweaver cs6 version 12.0 build 5842 and I'm wondering if there are any version updates I need to do and if they are stable? I see updates 12.0.1 and 12.0.2 and 12.03 listed and see there have been issues. Question: Are these now clean for updating and do you need to install all of them or just the newest update?. Question: I do updates within dreamweaver but wondering if these are separate stand alone updates?

There are several versions of DW CS6 for perpetual license holders & Cloud subscribers.
Perpetual Licensed 12.0 was the ORIGINAL release. 2 subsequent updates, 12.01 and 12.02, were made available to fix some early bugs. In my experience, they were both stable. If you don't have them already, get the last update 12.02 in DW's Help menu, by clicking on Updates.
Additional CS6 updates were made available to Cloud subscribers only: 12.1 & 12.2. These included some significant changes to the interface. Among them, changes to the Insert Menu with the removal of some features and the addition of others. See link below for details.
