Hello, From High Serra 10.13.6 in Mac sometimes Dreamweaver (20.0 15196 compilation) wont recognize a tag is propperly closed. The only way to fix it is closing the program and opening it again. I get the red alert claiming "Tag must be paired" but it is paired and the file saved ok. When I reopen it the closing tag i tryed to save the file with is gone. Normally when reopening the program it lets me pair the tag ok.

If the error goes away on close/reopen, I would definitely try restoring preferences as Nancy suggests in her most recent post.

If that doesn't take care of the issue, you may have a corrupt installation and need to (after restoring prefs) uninstall and reinstall DW from the CC Desktop App.

You probably have code errors elsewhere in the document that preclude you from closing that particular tag.

I encountered this myself on Windows 10 a little while ago.

SOLUTION: Validate code and fix all reported errors.

Go to Window > Results > Validation. Check document.

Or open the Output panel.

Hope that helps.

If there is a code error somewhere else, why it gets fixed just closing and re opening Dreamweaver? Same code. The program just wont recognize the </a> untill i close and reopen it.

Did you check for code errors as recommended?

If not, you don't know until you try. 😉

Failing that, you can Restore Preferences but that won't fix your document's underlying code issues if there are any.

Also, the latest version of DW is 21.2, not 20.
