DW CS6 Fluid-grid to Wordpress theme

I have the standard files for wordpress to have a very plain theme. It works on it's own, but I can't figure out how to get the fluid-grid layout to interact with the index.php file. The index.php file contains the contentWrapper that displays new blog posts on the page, but I'm having a problem integrating the layout into the files.
I copied out the following code from index.php to paste in the "content" div shown on the screenshot below as well. Now, if I am correct in my code, what should be recommended for the file name of the .css and .html files created by DW in the fluidgrid layout?
<div id"contentWrap">
    <div id="content">
        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
            <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                <article <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
                    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?><a/></h2>
                    <div class="meta>
                        <em>Posted on:</em> <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>
                    </div>
                    <div class="entry">
                        <?php the_content(); ?>
                    </div>
                    <div class="postmetadata">
                        <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »','%                                   Comments &#187:'); ?>
                        </div>
                </article>
            <?php endwhile; ?>
            <?php else : ?>
            <h2>Not found</h2>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
Thanks for your time!

I've never used FGLayouts for WP theme development and most likely never will. But maybe this tutorial will help get you going in the right direction.

Centering a page in Dreamweaver CS6 Fluid grid

Centering a page in Dreamweaver CS6 Fluid grid.
I figured this would be an easy task and have saved it to last. After watching videos, scanning the web and this forum I have found many answers but none of them seem to work in CS6. I currently have an extra 1-2% margin on the left to get the page closer to the middle but this doesn't work well with all screen sizes and its still not in the middle.
Page can be found here
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like you've nested the rest of content within your #header DIV. And header div's width is 94.4% - this results in everything on the site have a ~5% margin on right.
You may want to fix this first to see if it helps you with the result you intend to get. If not, do post back.

Dreamweaver CS6 fluid grid with slideshow

I am trying to create a slideshow page for my DW CS6 fluid grid site, preferably with previews.
I want the images to scale with the width of the browser.
I checked out different plugin's and apps but one does not integrate with DW, the other can't combine Landscape and Portrait pictures ect....
After looking in the forums I could only find 1 discussion about this resulting in there is no solution.
But a year has past and...... does anyone know a good solution?
Don't want to use Flash.
thx.

Fluid grid for Wordpress: insert PHP code into DW or DW code into Wordpress?

This may be a stupid question but it's a dilemma for me. Here's the problem. I want to create a mobile first, fluid grid Wordpress website in Dreamweaver CS6 based on an existing Wordpress theme. I can see two ways of doing that:
1) Create a fluid grid layout in DW, then insert the Wordpress PHP code into the right places in DW
Pro: the fluid grid layout is set up by DW and therefore can be easily edited with DW (I imagine)
Con: It is beyond my coding skills to make a fully functional WP template
2) Take an existing responsive Wordpress template with media queries and edit that in Dreamweaver
Pro: I start with a fully functional WP template and only have to make changes (mostly in CSS) to customise it
Con: When I start with an existing template (like Skeleton) I run into trouble using DW
For example: I click a navigation button to get at the CSS but it's not clear to me from DW's interface in which media query I have to make changes. I did a tutorial on creating a fluid grid layout with DW so I can do that. But DW doesn't work the same way with an existing WP template like Skeleton. I searched the web but all I can find is help on creating a fluid layout with DW, not editing an existing one.
By the way, I am experienced with HTML/CSS but not PHP and I have a local Wordpress server running on my Mac so I can work in Dreamweaver's Live View.
The problem may be that I am only just starting with responsive web design and need some more experience with media queries, css rules and DW CS6. Could anyone comment on this problem or point me towards more information on the subject?
TIA!

You can certainly use DW to customize a 3rd party WP Theme. However, you must be throughly familliar with how WordPress Themes work and have a good working knowledge of HTML, CSS and PHP code. Design View will not be much help to you.
WP Themes are a sum of their various parts: header.php, footer,php, sidebar.php, page.php, index.php, archive.php, etc... The web server parses code from the various parts and creates whole pages on the fly. Once WP is deployed on your server, you cannot use DW to edit content. You must use the WP Admin Panel (CMS) to manage content, Themes, plugins and backup data.
For simple static sites, the FluidGrid Layout feature in DW is a nice starting point. But these layouts have definite limitations which, IMO would not be a good fit with WordPress.

Dreamweaver CS6 Fluid Grid Layout

I fear there may not be a solution to this issue! I have placed several hotspots on an image in a Fluid Grid Layout div in DW CS6 and the problem is quite straightforward. Whilst the "image" reduces perfectly when viewed in Tablet and Smartphone screens the "hotspots" remain in the same position they were at in the Desktop view! The result is the same irrespective of which view you set the hotspots in. Is there a solution to this problem or is it insurmountable?

OK. Let's just paste the script into your HTML page and see if that works.
Open your page in code view.
Replace this:

<script src="fancybox/maphighlight.js"></script>

With all of this:

<script>
// map highlight JavaScript Document

CS6 Fluid Grid 960px wide

I'm just getting started with the fluid grid in CS6 but need a bit of help. I'm set up with 12 columns and the default desktop width is 1232px according to the options box. I don't want the grid to be 100% wide. In fact I want it no bigger than 960px at its max width. That works out to be approximately 78% (77.9) of 1232px. However, if I choose 78% as my width and drop in a DIV to span the whole 12 columns, it is far greater than 960px wide. What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do in order to have a starting width of as close to 960px as possible.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok, that was easy. I was trying to avoid making any changes to the default CSS file but I haven't broken anything which is good Thanks.

DW CS6 fluid grid insert menu options

I'm using Dreamweaver CS6, purchased via Adobe Creative Cloud Suite. I've created a new site and fluid grid. I want to begin inserting fluid grid divs, however, my Insert>Layout menu does not have a menu pick for "insert fluid grid layout div tag"?

The 12.2 update added improvements to the Fluid Grid interface. You no longer need to insert FluidGrid Div. Just insert Div and DW will know what you need.

Cs6 fluid grid layout wide-screen resolution issue

Hi all, I've done some poking around but have not found anything that answers this question - if I missed something please pass me the link!
So I'm doing a new site in cs6 with fluid grid layouts. It's fine in terms of screen sizes, that is, small medium large, but different resolutions make the content appear differently. Specifically on desktop size screens with wide-screen resolutions (eg 1600X1200) the content is squeezed up towards the top of the page. The background image is fine on all resolutions - fills the screen - but the content on top changes according to the resolution. On my screen (1600X900) there's a nice distribution of content vertically. Is there any way to make it so that the content adjusts for resolution, not just size? Thanks in advance.

What I'd like is for the widescreen view not to change the vertical distribution. That is, on my screen the content fills about 3/4 of the screen, which looks fine. On widescreen resolution, it barely covers 2/3 and it looks top-heavy - users I've asked with widescreen resolutions have said "it looks squished towards the top, why don't you move it down?". I guess I don't understand, if height as well as width is determined in percentage, why this happens (that lack of understanding could reveal my fundamental lack of understanding of aspect ratio/mathematics in general ).
I suppose I could give a bigger margin at the top to move the content down the page in all cases, but on my screen, not widescreen, that's not ideal. And I'm hoping there's a way to adjust for widescreen without affecting all resolutions.

CS6 Fluid Grid Layouts - opening CSSTransitions panel crashes program

Hi there, I'm on my second web page and this old problem has come up again.
I've asked about this before but I'm afraid I never got to the end of it, I just worked around it.
After I open the transitions panel, I then press the + button, then it crashes. Here are the error messages:
Does CSS Transitions work in Fluid Grid Layout? Thank you.

This aging mind gets very easily confused, so please bear with me.
In reply #3, I gave you an answer to you not being able to find the file to delete as in reply #2. Ticking the box next to 'Hidden Items' will allow you to find that file. By default it would be hidden. Ticking the box will not delete the cache file. For that to happen, you need to follow the process as set out in the link supplied in reply #1.

CS6, Fluid Grid Layouts, and Spry Menu - sizing issues

Hi. I am a full-fledged nubie to Dreamweaver, so please forgive my ignorance. But I really need to build a new site, and I really like DW so far (much better than what I was using).
I am building a site with fluid grid layouts so it is properly sized across all decices. I have inserted a spry horizontal menu as my primary navigation. I got the menu to look like I want it as far as formatting goes.
But when I view the page live and change the size of my browser, the menu wraps around to the next row, even with fairly large browser windows.
Can anyone tell me how to scale the spry menu bar the same as an image does in a fluid grid layout?
Thanks,
Steven

Don't use Spry Menus. #1 they're not Responsive. #2 They don't work all that well on Touch Screen devices. #3 Adobe abandoned the Spry framework last year. Is that enough to convince you? See links below for alternatives.

CS6 Fluid Grids Can you use a sliced images?

I sliced to pictures and was hoping that I could some how figure a way to make it work with fluid grids but no luck.
I tried slicing it both ways but I guess it will always fall apart: http://www.lavishvegas.com/las_vegas_barsx.html

What does "make it work with fluid grid" means? What exactly are you trying to do and how much do you know about HTML and CSS?
To make things work as you want it requires working with the code and so some knowledge is required.
Good luck.

Adobe has made upgrades with the Dreamweaver CS6 fluid grids. Is there a better tutorial than this?

It there a better tutorial than this anywhere http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/02/updated-fluid-grids-in-dreamweaver.html ? I can't seem to understand this guy. I know he means well. I really want to learn fluid grids. Thanks any reconmandations?

If you want to learn to make responsive Web pages, do not rely on
Adobe's fluid grid system. Learn CSS yourself. If you need to rely on a
grid framework, then you are barking up the wrong tree. I can absolutely
guarantee that if you do not fully understand the theories behind
responsive design and you use the Adobe fluid grid (or the open source
frameworks/scripts that Adobe uses) your site will eventually break.
Study and learn. If you are sharp enough, you will quickly come to
understand that nearly every article and tutorial on the subject is
plain wrong. The essence of responsive design is very easy and does not
require anyone's code but your own.

Background images in fluid grid layouts Dreamweaver CS6

How can I get a background image png or jpg original size 1040w by 840h to scale down in the tablet and mobile layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 fluid grid layout?

Adding one of these in your CSS should do the trick...
background-size:contain;
or
background-size:cover;
Depending on the layout of your background image, one may work better than the other.
