Dreamweaver

The info on the web page is perfect but I cannot see the text in Dreamweaver.  I have a couple of pages in one site doing this which stareted about 3 months ago.

Hi, I've recently encountered a bug I can't fix. The font's size in Dreamweaver Code View has become illegibily small, appearing as if it's about 2pt when it's set to 16pt. I can increase this by setting it to something large like 48pt or 72pt in Preferences -> Fonts -> Code View but it appears like it is 12px, however this has many knock on side effects.  I have also checked zoom is at 100% (Ctrl + 0) and can fine tune this by making it a little larger or smaller  (Ctrl + '+/-') however each time I open a new document this resets.  Does anyone know why this is happening and have a fix? I was considering reinstalling Dreamweaver, but I don't want to lose all my presets, code snippets etc. Last time I did this getting them back was a bit of a palaver via support.  Any help greatly appreciated.  

I'm using Dreamweaver 2021, MacBook Pro 12.7.6, macOS Monterey. Yesterday, I uploaded a full website to DreamHost. No problems. Here's the site: wheelerblockpress.com. Today, I haven't been able to upload the site.css file at all. It uploads without error messages but I don't see the changes online, only on the local test browsers. For example, I made changes and checked with Dreamweaver's Safari and Chrome test features and the changes were made. I looked on line and no changes. I contacted DreamHost and they showed me screenshots of the test changes as I made them. This is a very strange problem and I'm totally stumped after 11 hours trying to figure it out. 

  Trying to change font: 100% to font:150%  The 150% is declared in the actual page as an internal style within a media query.  So why does the rule in the body supersede the internal style? https://higgsy.com/newroot/france/france.html  If I open developer tools and then reduce the size of the browser down to iphone size then my media style appears in the developer tools – I then, in Devolper Tools, untick the superseding rule in the body statement, (turning it off temporarily) then my font statement in my media query can be seen to become active and the we can see the font change in the browser Also I note ALL the rules in that media query are greyed out all comments appreciated...

Every time I click out of Dreamweaver, to check grammar in Word, or to F5 the offline browser of the page, or even to clean content code with a notepad, Dreamweaver crashes, and the spinning wheel pops up over a greyed out screen. It only lasts for a few seconds, but it happens EVERY TIME. I have tried cleaning out the cache and the preferences and settings. I have removed the app and reinstalled. Furthermore, I have run system cleaners like IOBIT Advanced System Care 19 Pro to clean out the system cache. I have also gone back a few generations of the app, but the issue persists.  

I'm using Dreamwever the the Mac.  The properties window has suddenly stopped working.  Whenever I highlight something in the html file, it goes blank. I've reinstalled the app. I've reset the workspace.  No matter what I do, the properties window goes blank every time.

Anyone elses Dreamweaver freeze every time they open it?

Spell check is a Design view feature only as far as I know. Tools > Spell check is greyed out in Live view. But when editing text in Live view, misspelled words are flagged with no options to ignore or replace.  I work with several languages, so this is a major annoyance.   I have tried resetting the preferences, and even an uninstall/reinstall. I tried renaming the Linguistics folder in C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Dreamweaver 2021\\ in the hope that this would disable spell check altogether, but it made no difference. This leads me to believe that this might be a Windows issue, but the Windows setting Highlight misspelled words is turned off. Also, the same words seem to get flagged no matter what language is set in Dw's preferences > Spelling dictionary.   Dw 21.6, Windows 11 Pro 25 H2. I also have a Windows 10 computer with the same version of Dw, where this doesn't happen.  

HiI have a new Mac Studio with macOS Sequoia 15.6 and Dreamweaver 21.6.  Dreamweaver crashes regularly / closing the program. I include the Dreamweaver problem report.  Is there a fix?Kind regardsSofie

Not sure what the cause is but my site header displays correctly on the Home page as below:            But on subpages appears like this:             The coding looks the same on both separate pages, wondering why it shows up more indented on subpages?

iMac Ventura 13.2Dreamweaver C.C.Bootstrap 4.4.1 Hi folks, I currently have my web rows set to  .  .  .   class="col-lg-4"> I have 4 fluid columns which reduce in size as the site narrows but when they reach a "mid point" they break from 4 columns to 1 column. Is it a relatively easy fix to get things to go from 4 columns to 2 columns to 1 column instead of jumping from 4 to 1  ? I'm not really very technically minded so hopefully this is not beyond my understanding Any advice and assistance greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Garry.   

Hi, I've been attempting to fix Dreamweaver CC 2021 issues for a bit and I have been unable to find a permanent solution and was trying to figure out if this was a Dreamweaver issue, or an issue with Windows 11 as these started after upgrading. I have been having issues trying to add a link to a file as it opens file explorer which then is VERY buggy and distorted. I am not sure if this has been resolved yet, but I am not sure how to fix that if it happens again as any fix I've tried is not permanent and issues arise again. Another issue that definitely sounds more like an OS issue is the sharing violation error message that keeps popping up and is preventing saving to the website. Have tried to disable "Reopen documents on startup" but this just gets undone. This issue needs to be resolved as it is preventing work from being done but I am at my wit's end trying to find a permanent solution so any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Dreamweaver 21.6 - Browser preview not working after Tahoe 26.0.1 update on Macbook Pro 16".  Edit Browser List doesn't help, no browser shows up, whether I use the mouse or keyboard shortcuts.

Today is not a good day to get work done.  😝    

What are other people using instead of Adobe Dreamweaver? My 2021 program has messages that popup saying it is using insecure code. Addtionally, I have been using it for many years and recently it has not been putting photos in Tables, that it had no problem doing a year ago. Is Adobe ever going to update Dreamweaver. I create my own websites and use Dreamweaver to create content. Is there a more modern program that is as easy to use as Dreamweaver? 

I’m really stuck here. I’m trying to add my live WordPress site lewisestimating.com to Dreamweaver so I can edit files directly, but nothing seems to work. I set up the local site folder and tried connecting via FTP, but…Dreamweaver isn’t showing my WordPress files properly.Opening PHP files sometimes just gives me errors or blank pages.I have no idea if I’m supposed to work directly in the WordPress folder or download everything first.And some CSS changes don’t even show up when I preview.Honestly, I’m feeling a bit lost. Has anyone done this before? How do you get a live WordPress site into Dreamweaver without breaking everything?Really appreciate any guidance, thanks!

Hello, After replacing my desktop with a new machine, due to a recent crash, I worked with my host unsuccessfully for hours to regain my ability to edit my DW site, matthewjablonski.com. In the past, if any revisions were made, I would be prompted before publication - it worked great. Now, no matter what, I get a window, saying that no edits were made. Shown on the screen shot, below, halfway down, I've added an h2 tag, showing the text, "TEST 1," in the html area. On my right-hand side, I included the published site showing it in visual form. Notice that the "TEST 1" is not present, anywhere, but I would assume it would probably be somewhere under the "COLOR on the Rails" text, if it had worked correctly.On the bottom left-hand side, I included DW's window, after I tried to publish the page. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Matthew

The screenshot is from main.less file, where I have managed to customize the column with the row numbers, editing those two default values. However I need one more fine-touch: As you can see, the code is too close to the right-border of the column. Is there a way to add a 2-3px gap in between?Thanks  

For many years, Adobe Dreamweaver was a reference point for web designers and front-end developers. It successfully combined visual (WYSIWYG) and code editing, offering support for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server-side connections—all within the Adobe ecosystem.However, in recent years, Dreamweaver has shown signs of stagnation, receiving only minor updates and maintenance patches.Adobe’s “What’s New” page shows that the August 2025 (21.6) release only included bug fixes and library updates, with no major new features.User communities have long noted that “the last significant update was years ago” and that Adobe is no longer adding major innovations—just OS compatibility, security fixes, and minor dependency updates.A TechRadar review recently summarized: “It would be easier to recommend Dreamweaver if it weren’t for the lack of meaningful updates in recent years.”This means that if you’re looking for a tool that keeps pace with modern web technologies—frameworks, integrated workflow

I've been working on a file functions file for months.  All the tests are going well.  Now that I'm finally ready to take it site-wide and overwrite the old file, everything is going wonky. First, when I "save as" and overwrite the new file, visually, the new file is messed up.  I can copy/paste individual functions from the new file to the newly overwritten file and that kind of helps but then it creates other problems.  Some functions can be minimized visually, but others can't (but everything works in the identical other file that I copied this one from).So I tried just copy/pasting it manually in windows explorer, going outside of dreamweaver.  But still when I open the file it's all wonky, and when I try to upload it to the server it says:File Transfer failed due to following reasons:- Internal data error, possibly because of failure to start the upload.(other files upload fine).It seems like dreamweaver might have some weird caching around this older

Hi there!  I have the physical software for Dreamweaver CS5 but, due to the software having been on old computer (which I no longer have access to), I constantly am being asked for a serial number.  When I put in the one I have, it says it's already used on 2 computers.  So, there's nothing I can do right now to access this software and support said there's nothing they can provide.  Any ideas on how to handle this?  Thank you!

Hi everyone, Does anyone know what's happened to Project Seven? Their site is down. Has Gerry pulled the plug and moved on to something else? What a shame. I migrated a few sites over to WP using Bricks Builder, which I like, but nothing compares to P7's addons. I keep waiting for something from Adobe — a follow-up to Dreamweaver — but nothing. I hope everyone is doing well.Kind regards, Mark
