Server definition goes suddenly wrong with Wordpress site and DW CS5

Let me explain this simply.
I install a worpdress site, normally, on my local server (xampp).
After setting up the site with the web-install thingy, I start DW.
I set a definition site with the new (not at all improved) site definition dialog-box.
// precision : i'm not new to wordpress and dreamweaver //
Setting up names, access via network/lan, select correct local root folder, set up correct site URL (http://localhost/wp).
Everything works just fine. Setting up "advanced" "server/technology" to "MySQL/PHP is not forgotten.
// I dislike not having the choice to set remote/testin server within th dialog-box, so i... //
I click on the appropriate checkbox (setting server as testing server).
Well, to that point, if I've made any mistake, this would surprise me.
Opening the index.php base file of my wordpress works just fine. It detects "dependant files" perfectly.
Everything is displayed in the bar. Live view, Inspect and Live code work all fine together. I'm able at this point
to start working. So going back and forth from the wp admin panel and DW I do my tunings (install themes within the admin panel,
modify their CSS inside DW, install extensions and so) everything is still just perfect. I can filter dependant files (for instance to just
have *widget* or *footer* related files.).
To that point, I'm ok. But suddenly (or when I close the main index.php file) and try to reopen it, I have a very funny message
in the bar that should display my dependant files : "well, i cannot display the files I previously displayed because there is a site configuration error,
would you like to reconfigure or to retry discovering files". Well clicking both of the options result in ... nothing...
Trying to reconfigure the server is also pointless (everything is the same). Redifining a site, setting alternate testing servers, anything :
it simply stay stuck to that silly error message.., silly in the sense that if I try to use live view, live code and inspection, the page would just display
fine. I can Alt-click on elements to have a view to the selectors that style the elements. So it works... partially... except for the files thet are no more discovered.
It's beens 5 times this "funny" event happened to me, I gave up last week. I reinstalled totally from scratch a new wp today. It crashed again 20 minutes ago.
Any idea ?
Any interest in retrieving the old site definition dialog box ? (I do have)

Jenni & James...
If your OS is Windows, why don't you try WAMP Server...

It's now also available in a 64 bit version.

What is wrong with icloud mail and how do I fix it?
I put the icloud mail login address in the browser, it brings up the login screen.
I put the login details in correctly, it says icloud has stopped responding, I always send to Apple.
It restarts and I get the right screen, below, but all of the icons are blurred out. If you hover over them they sometimes indicate what they are but won’t let me launch them.
I am using an Advent Laptop with a Celeron processor with Windows 7 and the browser is Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7. (I know I am expecting a lot of it). All of my software is up to date.
Any ideas? I a not very techy but I'm not afraid to have a go...it communit question. Thanks fr your help.

you should deactivate (help>deactivate) that installation on the old workstation. then download and install on your new work station using your serial number. (ie, make sure you can find your serial number - if you need help with this, let us know.)

What is wrong with the code and is it affecting the website?

Line 107 looks dodgy to me and it won't have any effect on your code. However, it is a good idea to post a complete link to your CSS for us to see it in full and to validate it using external tools. In fact, you could validate the CSS (and HTML) yourself..

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Itunes keeps telling my it can not read the contents of my iphone and that i need to reset it back to factory settings. I dont want to do that there is nothing wrong with my phone and my computer recongnizes that the phone is there.

I tunes keeps telling me that it can not read my phone and it wants me to reset to factory setting there is nothing wrong with my phone and my computer reads the phone. What should I do I already did the restart of the apple mpbile device service.

Do an iCloud-backup, reset the iPhone and restore is from the iCloud-backup.
Let me know if it works

Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.

Error with Wordpress site

I did the whole MAPM/MySQL deal as per the Adobe tutorial and it worked fine.
So then, I created a blank site folder with proper test server links & everything and then copied the Wordpress site I'm to work on in the directory.
Alas, I'm a very unhappy boy since I get, "An unkown error has occurred while discovering dynamically-related files. Retry".
Obviously, this is really bringing me down since I'm dead in the water.
Have I done something wrong?
Thanks,
jeff

That's usually due to something in the site definition. Is the testing server running and can you verify the path is correct (both local path and URL)?

Something going seriously wrong with my install of CC. The CC desktop app won't show what apps I have, and when I select that tab the wheel spins for a while and then the app quits. I am running Yosemite 10.

Something is seriously wrong with my install of CC desktop. The icon won't show up in the upper bar as it always has. When I start it from th finer it starts, but when I select the Apps tab is spins for a while and then quits. Tried re-installing it from Adobe downloads. Same behaviour. What's up?

Rdgates55 have you utilized the solutions listed in App doesn't open | Progress wheel spins continually? If so what version of the Creative Cloud Desktop application are you using?

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.
