Migrating wordpress site for Dreamweaver

It would be possible to transfer this layout? I transmormar this site from php to html.
The site is this: http://www.wrcriacaodesites.com.br

Hi Ricardoffjr,
I'm not an expert but I use WinHTTrack that is a software that "translates" the public webpage to HTML.
Then you can open with DW.
It is a bit tricky once the program is finished because you need some HTML knowledge. But nothing serious.
If you want to try and have any problem leave me a reply.
Take care

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.

How do I edit a WordPress site in Dreamweaver?

I found a pretty good article on how to install WordPress to a localhost and run a site made locally on a test server through Dreamweaver (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt1.html), but it leaves a lot unanswered. Like...
1. Okay, now I've built a WordPress site locally, how do I upload it to my webserver?
(When I upload it to my ftp, it's broken. I suspect that this is because the scripting is set to work on my localhost MySQL & phpMyAdmin and not my webserver's)
2. If I already have a WordPress site up on my webserver, can I download it to my localhost server so I can edit in Dreamweaver and my local machine, and then upload it later to my webserver?
Thank you everyone! Your help is highly appreciated!

i am only new at dreamweaver...however, i have spent quite some time with Wordpress and Joomla website building.
Plese note... In an effort to explain my thoughts (which if left in their original state...only make sense to me really) i use the term "articles" below very loosely as Wordpress is not just a blogg platform anymore.
The two platforms serve different purposes. Wordpress is a publishing platform...Dreamweaver is a design program. Dreamweaver on its own, would be a very slow and cumbersome way of publishing articles on a Wordpress site. Dreamweaver on its own, is oriented towards creating the entire Wordpress CMS itself...not the "dynamic content" that goes on the Wordpress Site (dynamic meaning published information that is regularly being added/edited/deleted) .
What you really should be asking is, "how can i edit/develop Wordpress themes in Dreamweaver?" Now that, Dreamweaver can do.
Just slightly off topic, have you thought about building your websites using Adobe Muse instead. Its much faster and a lot simpler to use than dreamweaver and a great drag and drop design interface! Almost no coding required. You wold not be using Wordpress of course, and the content isnt dynamic, but Muse is soooo easy to build sites with!
Could i make a suggestion that i myself have undertaken...Purchase a monthly Adobe Creative Cloud plan(to get access to a heap of Adobe CC programs) + $39US/month Lynda.com tutorial package.
Even if you just use the lynda training for a single month only (you only pay by the month as you go)...you will learn an enormous amount about the Dreamweaver, Muse, Wordpress...and a huge number of other programs.
Best money i have spent in Info Tech in a long time
kind regards

Migration a site for the portal

Hi,
I am migrating a site for the portal.
The size of the site is 30 MB.
I created a zip containing the whole site inside for unzip of the portal.
the problem is that the portal joins during the unzip.
does some exist restriction with relationship to that?
Thanks,

Converting my site into my wordpress site for my blog

Hi I'm having a lot of trouble converting my site www.dor2dor.com into a wordpress site so I can use it as my blog. To be honest I haven't got a clue what i'm doing here as I don't use wordpress.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

If you really want to transfer everything to WordPress, you will have to create new Pages (as opposed to new Posts) and transfer your copy and images from the current site to each of the corresponding WordPress Pages you create. Having taken a quick look at your website, however, why not keep your current set up? A much less time consuming solution is to make the blog link much more prominent throughout the current site. As it is now, it's buried at the end About Us.

Can I edit Wordpress site through Dreamweaver?

I've started a site on wordpress consultantdesignengineers.com and I was wondering is it possible to open wordpress template files in DW and do some customizing and be able to see the results in the design mode and if so, what exact files from WP need to be loaded in DW? cheers

WP Theme development requires really good coding skills in PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. If you're not a skilled coder and more specifically very familiar with how Child Themes work, I don't think DW's Design View will much help to you. It's all about working with code.
To work with PHP files locally, you need a local testing server.

Can't get wordpress site displaying in Dreamweaver CC (xampp is setup)

Hello. I've been messing around with wordpress and I wanted to get it working in dreamweaver, haven't had much luck. I was present for the techlive conference for working with WP sites in dreamweaver and listened somewhat more casually knowing it will be uploaded to the archives later for me to go back and look at. Unfortunately, it was uploaded to youtube in 480p and is pretty much useless for anyone trying to follow along since the text is completely unreadable.
From what I can tell I have the site and server setup correctly.
I have xampp installed in the default location (C:\xampp).
I downloaded the latest wordpress and extracted the folder to C:\xampp\htdocs
The apache and mysql server in xampp are running
Created a new site in dreamweaver with the local site C:\xampp\htdocs\WPsite\
I set the connection to local/network
Under servers I have the server folder as C:\xampp\htdocs\
Web url as http://localhost
When I try to open the index.php file a dialogue box pops up asking me if I want to update the file on the testing server, I click yes and another dialogue box pops up asking if dependant files should be included in the transfer, I click yes.
After clicking live view I get these errors:
Warning: require_once(C:\xampp\htdocs/wp-includes/load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-load.php on line 48
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs/wp-includes/load.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-load.php on line 48
The forward and backslashes are odd. I have not touched absolutely anything in the wordpress folder or in xampp beyond what I listed. What am I doing wrong?
Any help or direction would be appreciated. I used wamp before and I could get the site working and displaying fine in the browser but I don't know how to do it with xampp. I switched over to xampp from wamp since I thought maybe I'd have more luck getting it to work in dreamweaver that way. I had some other errors in dreamweaver when I set it up using wamp.

I've gone through several of those threads and that is not the issue. The index.php file in the root directory is untouched. I have the index.php from the root folder of the WPsite and a clean wordpress download and both are identical.
I don't know if dreamweaver is doing something weird and creating files and folders locally but something weird is going on. I have a wp-content folder inside of htdocs (outside of WPsite folder) and I never created it there. It also seems to have placed or created several php files in the htdocs as well (index.php, wp-blog-header.php, wp-load.php).
I deleted them and opened the index.php file from the root folder, not themes, and it created the blog and index file again. Trying to open up the index.php from the twentytwelve theme folder seems to create the wp-content folder outside of the WPsite folder.
It doesn't seem to be copying all of the necessary files I'm assuming. The wp-content folder outside of the WPsite (htdocs/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve) only had 1 php file, index.php (guessing the one I tried to open) and nothing else inside of it.
The only thing pointing directly to htdocs is the server folder inside of the Server tab when managing a site. Should that be changed to C:\xampp\htdocs\WPsite as well or am I doing something else wrong?

Email no longer working for my WordPress site

Not sure when this happened, but my wordpress site will no longer send emails. The only time I get an error back of any help is when i try the password recovery utility. It displays
The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function...
Which is odd because this used to work just fine when I first set this all up 3 months ago. Do the shared sites have email disabled now? How can I get this working again? I tried looking through wordpress for email configuration and testing,
but didn't find anything there.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Chris

Oh wow, that's odd. It worked just fine when I initially setup the site. Never heard of having to install a plugin to get SMTP working for a wordpress site. I've always understood that you'd simply have to configure PHP to let it communicate
with the SMTP server, which naturally happened when I installed the WordPress site from your plugins. Which doesn't mean to say that it's impossible for it to be different than what I imagined. But really, I'd be surprised if this is "standard
wordpress practice".
As with all wordpress plugins, there's a worry about installing a malicious one in your site. Is there any that you all could suggest to "re-bridge" the gap in this functionality?
Also if this is the default behavior for the "website preview" which has been provided by running on shared instances, does this mean that if we were to decide to upgrade the site to be on our own instance, that we'd have to perform the same tasks to get
email working?

Does Firefox now "read a page ahead" for WordPress sites?

Hi there,
I've just noticed something odd in Firefox 26.0. Using Fiddler, I see that when I am browsing WordPress sites, the browser is requesting an additional page (only the source page, not the links on the page) to the one I am actually looking at. In effect it appears to be browsing "ahead" one page along the Wordpress menu, storing this page in case that happens to be the one I will look at next. This activity also happens in Safe Mode and does not happen with the latest version of Chrome.
Is this a new feature and, if so, how do I switch it off?

That did the trick cor-el, many thanks!
For anyone else reading this thread, the following article might prove useful: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/04/27/firefox-prefetching-what-you-need-to-know/
It appears that the WordPress page isn't using rel="prefetch" as described in the above article, but instead FF is prefetching the page indicated by rel="next".

Waiting for Dreamweaver CS4, OR migrating to another developer?

Hi:
Not long time ago when DWMX came out I got very excited. At
last something real came out. I tried Codecharge, some coffeecup
tools and many many other programs that claimed that they could
help us develop websites with less coding and more thinking. But it
was only DW and just DW which could make things right. Golive was
there, trying to compete with DW but it was a joke comparing to DW.
Golive was just a design tool but DW was a real developer tool.
Many great books about DWMX came out and showed us new ways of
making best websites ever. DWMX2004 came out with good improvements
and then DW8 with some good fixes. But most of the major options
where the same as MX. I got worried when Adobe's acquisition came
out and after seeing what happened to DW in version CS3 I really
panicked. It is going to become a newer version of Golive!!!
I'm not the only one who is worried. look at this open letter
at
http://stringfoo.com/2007/05/08/an-open-letter-to-adobe/
and you will see even PHP developers (I am a CF developer) loved DW
but the new version is so disappointing that we all believe it
might be the end of DW for developers.
I ask Adobe people:
Should I migrate to another tool? Should we all forget about
next version of DW (I assume it will be CS4) and go for some tools
that do things 50% less effective than DW and 200% more messy?
Is there any hope that CS4 becomes a new hope for us who love
"less coding and more ideas?"
Or we are just waiting for a newer version of DW as an
upgrade for Golive?
Please help us decide and not to wait if there is no hope and
no help for us developers.
Thanks
Benign

That open letter is full of excellent suggestions. Although I
don't
agree that Dreamweaver is just becoming a newer version of
GoLive, I,
too, would have liked to see more done on the server side in
this
version. The way to influence the direction of CS4 is to
submit feature
requests through the Adobe website:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Now that CS3 is out of the door, the development team will be
drawing up
its initial plans for the next release. Now is the time to
tell the team
what you would like to see in CS4.

Using Lion Server as a web server for Wordpress sites?

Is anyone doing this? I have a few low traffic Wordpress sites I'd like to move to a Lion server I already have at MacMiniColo to try and reduce my costs.
Obviously I'll have to install MySQL and MySQL Workbench for the databases, which I'm fairly comfortable with, however I'm not sure what the best route for FTP access to the WP directories is. I've looked at Rumpus but it's just a little too pricy for my needs.
Does anyone have any advice?

John, I guess you did install MySQL and got Wordpress running? I use the default location for web sites on Lion server. So my site is in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/wordpress/. Since the directory is owned by _www I use root to retrieve and put files under this directory. My own user account would not have sufficient rights. It is not safe to use root with ssh with a password, so you will have to make sure you can only login as root with an ssh key. Therefore edit /etc/sshd_config and make sure that a line with 'PermitRootLogin without-password' is present. sshd or your server should be restarted then.
On you local mac you can use the terminal to generate a key. Use 'ssh-keygen'. Here (and on various other web pages) you can find how to do this:
http://coolestguyplanettech.com/secure-ssh-keys-connection-with-remote-passwords -osx-10-6-linux/
On the server you will have to put the authorized_keys file in /var/root/.ssh/
Now you can use cyberduck and let it authenticate with the key you have generated (id_rsa if you use the web page I pointed to). Then you can go to the wordpress directory and upload or edit files.

A question regarding using a Dreamweaver site to manage a WordPress site?

Using Mac OS X I have installed and configured MAMP to edit a WordPress site.
I have setup a DW CC site to help with this editing, and all files are behaving as expected.
I would now like to take this to the next level.
As I develop the site plan for the future, I am unsure of the local folder structure I need to use if I want to use the capability of the SQL database to manage logins and landing pages.
In other words, do I put the root folders for other html sites in the same root directory level as the WordPress folder?
Can I then (with some individual tweaking of php files and the database(s), use this organization method to author a number of standalone sites with unique logins?
I hope this question is not too vague.
Thanks

Sounds to me you want to use the multi-site option in Wordpress. That way you can setup a network of (related or unrelated) sites in Wordpress, and assign different logins, themes, and so on, to each site as well.
Study the official documentation before you begin:
Create A Network « WordPress Codex
In this case you should stay away from any manual mysql tinkering - no need for that with multisites in Wordpress. Of course, you can still use DW to edit the theme files, if you so wish.
For more multisite user control, check out plugins like:
http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/7-plugins-for-easier-wordpress-multisite-user-management/
If you need ultimate control over user management, payment options, and so on, you may want to install S2 User Management (but it is a complex one to learn).

Unsure about preparing a Dreamweaver Site for use with Contribute

Recently I designed a small Dreamweaver Website (DW CS2) for
a friend and it is already successfully online. So that my friend
can manage her own website, I`ve decided to prepare this DW site
for use with Contribute, but I'm unsure about the steps involved
and what files I will need to store on the server. Is the following
roughly correct?
Step 1: Define editable regions in these html files and save
these as html files.
Step 2: Enable Contribute Compatibility in DW before I upload
to the server.
Step 3: Is setting up a Connection Key necessary for my
friend`s access?
Step 4: Upload these. Do these completely overwrite the
existing Dreamweaver html files on the server? Or should I be
saving in another file format?
Many thanks to anyone who can advise me!

I sugggest these steps:
A: Dreamweaver:
1. build you site based on (a) template(s) with editable
regions
2. upload the website to the server
B: Contribute
1. create a connection
2. administer the website ( and create an admin password )
3. set the proper settings for your users (administrators,
publishers, writers), enable rollbacks
4. create a connection key fot you user with the proper role
and save that to disk
C: Dreamweaver
1. manage the site in dreamweaver
2. enable contribute compatibility (this way files get
checked in and out, so you know who is editing what)
D:
1. Sent the connection key to your user

How to work with an EXISTING wordpress site in side DW CS5 (yahoo hosted)

Have and existing Wordpress site that is hosted by Yahoo. Recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5. Was really excited about working with my Wordpress files inside of DW CS5 with all of it's new capabilities, bells and wistles. I can't seem to get it set up right.
Is Dreamweaver CS5 ABLE to display existing wordpress sites with dynamic content? And can anyone please help me figure out how.
I have been thru several lynda.com video tutorials including:
Dreamweaver CS5 and Wordpress 3 by Joseph Lowery (over the last month)
Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and MySQL by David Gassner (over the last month)
PHP with MySQL essetial training by Kevin Skoglund (about a year ago when trying to learn php)
Self-hosting a Wordpress site (about a year ago when I set up the site)
I have also been scouring this forum and the web trying to find the answer to what seems to be a very common problem.
Using Mac OSX 10.6.6
MAMP
Dreamweaver CS5
Wordpress 3
Yahoo web hosting
Everything works fine with the exercise files but as soon as I try my existing site files it gives me one of several errors
cannot establish a connection to the database
I set up my site thur the DW site manager with the
Local Site Folder set to: /applications/MAMP/htdocs/nate
server set to:
name: testing
connection using: local/network
server folder: /applications/MAMP/htdocs/nate
web url: http://localhost/nate
under the advanced tab i have set the server model to: php mysql
and have the testing box checked in the site set up dialog box
I also set a remote server:
name: remote
connect using: ftp
ftp address: ftp.MY_SITE_NAME.com
username: myusername@MY_SITE_NAME.com
password: mypassword
under the advanced tab i have the server model set to: php mysql
and have the remote box checked in the site set up dialog box
when tested connection was made. I also downloaded all of my site files using this connections (it took hours).
I installed MAMP and set the ports to the defauls (80, 3306) host: localhost username: root password: root
If i change the database settings in the wordpress wp-config.php file to: localhost, root, root it works and displays my page as I would expect in live view or browser but without the main content area or posts - displays a 404 error where the content should beI have exported my wp database and imported back into my local testing server thru phpmyadmin.
I have also gotten this error at various tries in the set ups: "dynamically-related files could not be resolved because of an internal server error"
I am currently getting this error: "Dynamically related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server"
It is not asking me if I want to save files to the server when I hit live view.
Everything works fine with the lynda.com exercise files and with the generic wordpress files. I can open any page - live view or view in browser - can access and modify the imported database thur dreamweaver and phpmyadmin. I am only having these problems with my existing site files. I have done the complete set up at least 5 times from scratch going thru the videos and various tutorials step by step. I dont want to use the starter files that come with wordpress installations I want to use my highly modified pages/themes/database

DW does not work with a WP installation that has anything other than the default (numeric) permalinks. Apparently no-one ever tested this case during the development and prerelease phase, which is a shame, because very few WP installations use default permalinks. It's a point that Joseph Lowery doesn't touch in his tutorial, and of course the tutorial WP installation works perfectly.
Hope that helps, although it may disappoint (as it did me, and a lot of other folks). Here's hoping this is addressed in a dot release.
