you know i have been happily using dreamweaver with my wp site for ever. i bough the cs5 version when it came out. my problems all started when i upgraded to DW CC. now all of a sudden nothing works, everything is complicated.

design view doesn’t work you tell him, use a browser. this is bullshit. DW CC comes with zero tech support and a bunch of bored ex DW guys who are negative and useless as tits on a bull.

and not not all wp sites are just blogs. like mine they have a blog and pages in php like a normal website. you know, static pages, you upload them and forget them.

thint’s like web pages, programs like DW CC are all getting much harder to use fir normal everyday small business who are forced by greedy web developers to DIY the entire thing.

all of of a sudden i can’t see my php pages properly. well, [vulgarity removed by moderator], ive been seeing them just fine for years, now i can’t.

    I've branched this to a new discussion for you. 

    I also work with PHP files and have no trouble seeing them in DW CC.

    What's different about my set-up from yours? 

    • My files containing PHP code are saved with a .php file extension.
    • I have a local testing server (Wamp) installed and running on my computer.
    • My testing server is defined in DW site settings.
    • My local site folder is in my testing server's default web directory.  See screenshots.
