Remote file template not updating on website

Hello I am very very new to dreamweaver and have been handed a website that I have to maintain and make changes to.
The website uses a template called index with further nested templates as shown
The index template contains the code for the Menu Bar and footer and although I have been able to make other updates and changes I am finding that any changes to the code on this template do not show up on the site. The strange thing is that both the local and remote code has updated as I would like it is just the website itself that is not changing. When I view the website source code it is different to the remote file code. I assume that the link between the two is somehow broken but I do not know how to fix it. Is there a trick to fixing such a problem or am I wrong about this being the problem?
Here is the remote file code which is that same as the local code - I have out the code that is not updating in bold and underlined it:

Thanks to this geographical position UNIVPM has many collaborations with these companies and it has matured a vast skill on research topics related to the household appliances field. UNIVPM has 5 faculties, 550 professors (the largest is the Engineering Faculty with 180 professors), 12 technical Departments and 17,000 students; it participates to 23 academic spin-off. The central administration of UNIVPM has a management department which gives support to technical departments in European project set up, negotiation and administration of the grant agreement, draft and negotiation of the consortium agreement as well as project financial reporting. In this project will be involved the Department of Mechanics that has a remarkable experience on European Projects since it has been coordinator of 6th and 7th FP projects and it is involved in 9 active European projects. In particular, UNIVPM coordinates the G.EN.ESI project from an administrative and technical point of view.</p>

Thank you in advance for your help

Jon Fritz that did actually work for some of the pages but not others. I upadted each invidivual page, except the main page as I have not finished the content and now some of the pages are acting strangely.
Here is the website http://www.genesi-fp7.eu/index.html
As you can see every page except the 'Contacts' and 'Links' page is now reading the correct code when you click on the 'Consortium' tab. The strange thing however is that the footer has updated on the 'Links' page suggesting that this part of the template has updated. Both these pages are based on the Index-misc nested template. The code is copied here:

      <h1>Introduction to the G.EN.ESI Project</h1>
      <p>The sustainability of industrial products, particularly household appliances, is an important issue today. Energy consumption in the residential/domestic sector is about 20% of world consumption, and associated greenhouse gas emissions exceed 35%.   Household appliances contribute greatly to these values and thus require particular attention as far as sustainability is concerned.</p>
      <p>It is well known that decisions taken during the early design of products are very important in determining total product cost. It is possible to hypothesize the same for environmental impacts – i.e. the sustainability of a product is largely determined during the early design stage. In order to allow designers to make well-informed decisions, new design methods and tools are needed to provide the basis for determining the degree of sustainability of a given product or process. Many eco-design procedures and tools have been developed but they are often far from a practical day-by-day application in company engineering departments, and they are not well integrated with computer-aided design tools.   This project wants to make up for this limitation and to develop an eco-design methodology (called G.EN.ESI) and a related software design tool (called the G.EN.ESI platform) able to help product designers in ecological design choices, without losing sight of cost and typical practicalities of industry. The software platform will propose a guided process towards eco-design among several design choices based on the different scenarios of product lifecycle. The proposed approach will be applied to the household appliance field but it can be easily extended to other mechatronic products.</p>
      <p>The project started in February 2012 and will continue until January 2015.</p>

Murray do you suggest that I try and get rid of the nested templates or am I biting off more than I can chew after two days of self training?
Thank you

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer
First i install CS6 on the new computer
copy the projects
import the websites
Now, when i change any template the pages do not update any more. New pages working correct. Also manuell updating works.
Any Idea?
Where are the info about the join template and the pages. Seems on the old computer - but where?
Thx

hm?
now I made a new page from the template on the new machine - and find one difference:
New Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>....
Old Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>...
The slash / after template=" is not there on the new machine. If i remove the slash on the copied pages and restart dreamweaver then it works. A lot of work, but i can solve my problem this way.
Maybe there is some checkbox for path handling...?

Error message: file was skipped because the old remote file could not be deleted.. Later it will up

Error message: file was skipped because the old remote file could not be deleted.. Later it will upload after i try a few more times. Not at my size quota for website (I have lots of room) , have toggled Passive FTP ...keeps happening. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks! I am using DW CS5 on Windows 7 platform. This does not happen when I upload otherwise on my computer - only when using DW.
It also only happens with the html files - it does not happen with my jpeg files

Do you have notes in your site? DW's local and remote site synching might be off. Try clearing your cache.

FTP help! - "skipped because the old remote file could not be deleted."

I have been using Dreamweaver to administer a dedicated
server for a large client running 6 copies of Contribute and an ASP
CMS on the same server. For some reason, out of the blue with no
changes on the server side or on my side, Dreamweaver refused to
put files (any type of file) to the server. Permissions haven't
changed on the box, all is as it was. Here's a copy of the end of
the FTP Log. The file default_new.asp that it refers to has never
existed on the server before now, but the same is happening for all
files (pre-existing or otherwise). Any help would be appreciated...

The file "default_new.asp" was skipped because the old remote
file could not be deleted.

Apparently you get this because the remote disk you are
trying to write to is full. Try deleting some files on the server
and do it again. Otherwise, if it's a hosted account, contact your
host and ask them to check available disk space on your server.
This was exactly my problem. Logged on to the remote machine
using RDC and cleaned out some of the clients archive files.

SQL 2008 R2 - Mirror sys.master_files data file size not updating

Hi,
I have an odd issue where the primary server is SQL 2008 R2 SP1 and the secondary is SQL 2008 R2 SP2. I have databases mirroring between these servers. We recently moved the log file on the secondary to a different drive. The file sizes match and are updating
exactly the same between both servers. The mirror monitor shows the mirroring successful and everything is up to date. When we check the sys.master_files tables on the mirror, the size of the data file has not updated since moving the log file. Tried restarting
SQL but not joy.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Rob

Hi,
I would say you wait for some time it would get reflected I have seen this with sys.master_files they are updated late. Like when you delete heavy data, data would be gone but space captured by data would be released slowly due to internal ghost operation
cleaning and after this operation completes sys.master_files catalog is updated I guess this is what happening here as well , this is pure speculation. I will stick to this thread please look for a day and then update again

Template Not Updating Files

I am helping someone with implementing CSS on a website. She
created the entire site in Dreamweaver MX using one dreamweaver
template. I did a remote get of all the files from her ftp site,
including the template file. So now I have the entire directory
structure on my local computer as is what is on the server.
I opened her template file and added a link to the style
sheet I created. However when I went to save the template file,
dreamweaver didn't ask me if I wanted to update the files that were
created previously with this same template. What could be causing
the template to not update all of the HTML files associated with
it? Is it because they weren't created on my local machine?
Please help a VERY FRUSTRATED guy :-)

this is a child

Dreamweaver templates not updating *.php file

Hello everyone,
I have been given an exisiting website to update that uses
Dreamweaver templates.
I have made the changes successfully within the content.dwt
file, saved it, and then uploaded both the new content.dwt file and
the related *.htm pages that were linked to it.
After going to the website to double check the new pages I
found a *.php file that uses the same template, content.dwt, but it
never asked to update that particular file.
So, I opened the *.php file in Dreamweaver and tried to apply
changes from the content.dwt file to it using: Templates - Update
current page, but no such luck. Since there is no code at the start
of this file like the other *.htm files how do I "connect" it with
the newly updated template. I tried making a small change on the
content.dwt file so see what files would come up in the "do you
wish to update..." list but for some reason the *.php file is not
there.
Perhaps the answer is fairly obvious to someone who has
worked with Templates a lot but since I have just started working
with templates I still have a large knowledge gap in this area.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Mr Zedd

Can you post a link to the PHP page, please? This will allow
me to see the
HTML markup on it....

in his home computer is not updating in office computer. what ever he creates, he is attaching them through email and come back to office and working.when he uses his home PC and logs on via Terminal Server it isn't showing the changes he made when he is in
the office.Terminal Server isn't syncing between logons.

Files using template not updating after moving

On this site "C" (see link) site I want to move the Template&Library folder and get them inside the local root folder, which is actually "Os". When I move it in DW the links are updated nice - but when I change the template, the files using it are not updated. Anyone care to tell me how to move these two folders to Os folder and not experiencing this problem?

You should never had a folder named "public_html" in a properly defined site.
And "Os" is not the root folder of the C site. You would need a NEW site definition with Os as the root for the Templates to work properly.

Template not updating online files

I use one template for 62 files which I have already
uploaded. I made a change to the template which updated my files
offline but do I have to re-upload all these files again? When I
just upload the template, none of the other files online
automatically updated. This is my first use of templates and I
assumed that if you modify the template then the change will carry
over to each associated file that already resides on the server
which would be great. What should I do to keep from having to
re-upload each file after I make a change to the template?
Thanks, Steve

>>do I have to re-upload all these files again?
Yup. That's hw Templates work.
>>What should I do to keep from having to re-upload

Nothing you can do, again it's just how Templates work. You
can however read
about server side includes (ssi) in DW Help and other places
(Google) and
use them to replace some pieces of your Template. For example
put your menu
(navigation) in an Include file. Change just that file when
you need to
modify your menu. Then upload just that Include file and it
will be (what
else?) *included* in all your pages.

Dreamweaver templates not updating on second installation

I have just purchased the new Dreamweaver CS5.5. I installed it on my laptop first and it is working fine. However the package is not working correctly on my husband's laptop. He is finding that the templates are not updating the files despite going through the process. I am the 'techie' in our partnership and I did make sure both installations were identical.
Updates we are trying to make are outside of the editable regions.
It has taken me years to get him to accept an update for this programme, and now it doesn't work for him, he is not well pleased at me spending hundreds of pounds, when the Dreamweaver MX2004 worked well for him.
Please can someone point me in the right direction to put this right.
Jean

We are not working on the same templates. In our partnership, I build the templates and then turn them over to my husband to input the content. The particular problem we are incurring at the moment is on a fully functioning website. We noticed that on changeover from Dreamweaver MX2004 to CS5.5, the css file wasn't being read, the difference being:
from <link type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" href="/styles/style.css" />
to <link type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/style.css" />
don't really understand this, but having updated the template, the dialogue box came up asking if you want to update all files connected to template, said ok, and the finish dialogue box says 211 files updated. But when you open the file it hasn't actually updated at all.
Website looks ok online now as he has went back to MX2004 to upload a new page.

File window not updating modif. dates – and mysterious parallel universe discovered

The day started innocently enough when I tried to edit some <meta> content on a site I'm building and then saved my work. Little did I know...
DW's "File" window refused to update the "Modified" column of the files I worked on. Open and closing the files shows that my changes have been recognized and incorporated into the HTML, and the files show up with correct modification dates in Finder (I'm on a Mac). They just won't change date in DW.
When I upload the modified-but-not-redated-in-DreamWeaver files to my remote site, they appear with the incorrect dates on the server, but a text comparison in DW shows that my local and remote files are synched.
Now for the truly weird part: when I run the site in Safari (after flushing its cache), a Source check shows the old code is still operational. (I also changed the titles of the pages in question to quickly confirm which version was being displayed. This check shows the old title displayed.)
Here's the site address: http://www.bearriverbooks.com/index.html
Now for the truly, truly wierd part. I have a parallel site ( http://www.queen-of-the-northern-mines.com/index.html ) which contains copies of the bearriverbooks.com files. These files, too, show the wrong modification dates in DW's "Files" window and on the remote server – but they display correctly. Anyone who wants to check can compare page titles, which are longer in the later pages with correct code.
I checked the remote site addresses in the "Manage Sites..." center. I have not crossed my wires there (though I can smell a few arcing badly in my brain.).

I am having the same issue on a Mac 3.4Ghz i7 running Mac OS 10.7. I have Dreamweaver CS 5.5 v.11.5 Build 5344.
I have a linux webserver, running ProFTPD v.1.3.1
Both my mac and my linux server are set to the correct date and time.
And ls on the linux servers tells me the files have the correct modified date and time, but this is getting lost in translation to dreamweaver when I view the remove server in the File tab.
Any help appreciated.

Templates not updating other documents

Help please. my site that has three templates - 1 main and two nested are not updating the children pages. what could possible cause this?

PLEASE - don't use nested templates! Why have you? They are and will be trouble for you.
Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes not propagating from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in the site other than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the Template (which will not propagate)
5. Assume that Template changes will be effected by just uploading the changed Template file to the server without also uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between Template and child page is broken
7. Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the Template, adding page specific content, and resaving the Template with an *.html extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if this is the case by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything like <!-- TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done). If you *have done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DWCS3) using FILE | New > Page from Template, select the Template and click CREATE.
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced > Recreate Site Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing them. Have you done any of those?
