External CSS Changes Unaffected

HelloThe pages under development are all transcribed audios.One page with formatted text that I did a Word import.I am using an external style sheet.  A basic text style sheet.Paragraphs and H tags.To see how the page loads – I have different colors to test the header tags. For h4 (orange), h5 (green) , h6 (blue). The header tags do not show up in any browsers.  If I adjust the paragraphs those changes show up.I have my teststyles at the root and in folder …css<link rel="textstyles" type="text/css"  src="textstyles.css"/><link href="../../../css/textstyles.css" rel="textstyles"  src="textstyles.css"/> Last week I noticed this behavior thinking that the saved as textstyles.css needed to settle into the Server. Here is one of the transcription pages that I am working on.  I will have eventually over a 100 transcription pages – all uncomplicated word document – using this simply css file to establish uniformity.Let me know what can be done to

Hello again.  I am using server side includes for the header and footer in Dreamweaver.  I am using Bootstrap 4. header.shtml and footer.shtml. Many SEO techniques have changed in the past several years when I was designing - been out of the loop for 6 years. If I use a SSI header and include the proper meta data will the search engines pick up on them?  Title and description, etc.   Also when I build each page I am thinking I should leave all the <head></head> data out as it will be inserted from the header.shtml file. Am I correct? If anyone has an idea of where I can find new pertainent info on SEO now that would really help me.  I have found some but thought I would ask all of you as well as many of you have been using it recently. As usual, thanks for all of your help.

Page won't display

I've done some new pages & have done nothing to existing pages, but did modify 2 css files.  Now the pages that were fine 2 days ago don't show at all - no error messages, nothing - just blank page.  I have restored earlier versions of the 2 css files, but that didn't help.  Does anyone have a clue about where I should look?  Parsing every bit of code when you don't know what you're looking for is pretty daunting.Thanks,Gail

Bootstrap causes display problems

I had a web page that worked fine. Then I added a table. The table displayed fine in Dreamweaver Design mode, but in Live mode the cell spacing was missing. Also horizontal rules did not display. The same display problems existed in a browser. I slowly deleted parts of my page and while I found that deleting the dropdown menu did not solve the problem, deleting the three lines of code needed for bootstrap implementation of dropdown menu did solve the cell spacing and horizontal rule problem. The lines deleted from the "head" were: <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"><script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script><script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> This is the first time I had used bootstrap. I used it because it appeared that the very old method I had used in the past to create

Image Insert Problem

Images when inserted into web page go in with incorect addressing.Current method - place cursor in document where image is to be located - click on "Insert" --> "Image" --> Select Image. Image arrives with complete address back to root. Need it to be the same as the directory with image. Both files need to be in same directory. Problem only started recently. Worked good before. Files created locally, then manually uploaded to site.

Need help with DW V20 to https secure

We have a web site launched in 1996 that needs someone familiar with DW v20.   Making it https secure. The site is about 700 pages.  I realize this is not a job-posting platform, but we'd love to have someone available for this project, and a host of other issues that need ongoing attention.    Charles Prowell [Link and email removed by moderator, per forum policy.]

If you had read and interpreted the OP's question properly, you would have noticed that they did not want a font that was larger than the desktop version; they wanted a font that was larger than what they were seeing in their handheld device. From that, I deducted that the page/site was not mobile optimised. The best way to solve that problem is to properly optimize the site. Not having access to the code, I thought that one way to solve the problem is to use the viewport meta tag. Right or wrong, who is to say? Sorry I could NOT reply to the original thread as someone has seen fit to lock that for some peculiar reason, because a debatable and polite discusion was in flow.....hummm. Well its obviously wrong IF you beleive in the concensors of opinion from those of us that contribute regularly around here (including yourself) is to teach good practices? Creating a horizontal scroll bar on a mobile device (which is what 'shrink-to-fit=no' is going to do IF the OPs website

How to activate the Properties Tab Group

Been using Dreamweaver CS5.5 for years and now switched to CC.  Missing the HTML properties tab at the bottom of the Classic desktop view.  For those who don't recall, it's a tab that includes some basic HTML formatting, link management, etc.  Appears I have to use menu dropdowns now for the same functions.  How do I add it back?

I wanted to enlarge my text so that people using their cell phones could read it easily. I had already added code <meta name=" "viewport”" content="”width=device-width," initial-scale="1?" />so that users could see a more mobile-friendly version, but still, I wanted the users to see a much bigger font when they opened the pages. I dragged over text and chose XXL size, but the more I did that, the longer and longer it took for my program to respond, and it was taxing the processor because my laptop fan was running all the time. Any reasons and solutions?

Import XML into template option greyed out

I'm using Adobe Dreamweaver 2021 and my collegue is using an older version.  When following the same exact steps, she is able to go to File>Import>XML into Template to create an htm file from the xml.  When I follow the same steps, the XML into Template option is greyed out/not enabled.  We both have an htm file open, which used to be the ony prerequisite for this option to be enabled.I've tried having an htm file open, an xml, no files open, etc but the Import>XML into Template is always greyed out.  The user guide doesn't seem to offer a solution for if the option is greyed out. Anyone know what I need to do to get the File>Import>XML into Template feature enabled in DW 2021?

I have a local server defined. I cant use the CSS designer, and I can't edit anything because it's everything is greyed out.Like the DOM and the selectors, any ideas?   What's the best way to do a theme with Dreamweaver? Like should I code the HTML and CSS  with the CSS designer and then import the site to WordPress?

Can't see full file names in Files Panel

This is driving me mad. I am using Dreamweaver 2020 and have lost the ability to see full file names in the files panel. I used to be able to read them. When I descend a tree and file/folder info shifts right the column remains the main width so all but a few letters are available to the eye. I click “expand the file panel” and yes, the panel expands but not the column which is now hard left, but just as narrow. I have manually dragged the panel edge but the same things happens. I am sure what to do is easy – when you know how, But how? (I have reset the Standard workspace but no dice).   [Topic edited by moderator]

looking for Dreamweaver web developer

I maintain a website that was designed in Dreamweaver in 2001.  Its in dire need of updating.  I've been told by more than one person that I should abandon Dreamweaver and integrate my site into WordPress.  Before I make that leap, I wanted to do a quick search for anyone that might be interested in doing some updates for me in the current Dreamweaver format.  I need an eCommerce page and some interactive forms.  The coding required is above my pay-grade.[Moderator moved from inactive Web Design to Dreamweaver Forum.]

FTP Error using SFTP in Dreamweaver 21.0

I keep getting this error message. My Dreamweaver is up to date (21.0). The server administrator's logs are showing that Dreamweaver is using an outdated version of OpenSSH, specifically 4.6. Any ideas? This is my first time using Dreamweaver, so I'm not sure whether or not this is an issue with the new 2021 version.

Clicking HTML Tags won't allow me to edit tag

Hi I have just installed Dreamweaver and when I clean a HTML tag it does not allow me to edit the tag itself.  All that occurs is the start and end of the tag is highlighted.   If I place mouse before / after the html tag and then arrow cursor into the html tag region, it simply highlights the entire tag same as above.   I have never experienced this before in Dreamweaver.   Is there some preference setting that needs to be changed?   regards Claude    [Edited by moderator for clarity.]

Bug when saving template

I open a template and then save it as a new file, e.g. new_file.htm. When I go to save this file again after editing the editable regions the popup window is asks me to save it as a template. But I want to save it as new_file.htm. There are two ways to save it.(1) Try to close new_file.htm without saving and you will get the normal save window.(2) Use "save as" and the normal save window will appear. But there is no way to simply click "save" and get new_file.htm to resave. I think that this is a bug.
