I am using version 2.1 at the suggestion of support until they get the bugs out. I am Mac. I am sure the time I invested in learning BootStrap will pay off, but not today! The "Cards featue" I liked an be manually coded, and that may be best!!! I hope the get it working soon. 

I don't know. how to get a more up to date version, but will call Monday. Sso... disiregard the online tutorials. Theyare not for  the latest version? or not for Mac. 

Good luck everyone.

    A more up-to-date version of what?

     

    The last stable release of DW was version 21.4. 

    21.5 has been problematic for some users. 

    Dreamweaver development is static. No new features have been added since 2021, except minimal security updates. 

     

    If you're looking for Bootstrap ver. 5.3.3, you'll need to source that directly from the Bootstrap CDN and code with it manually. Current Dreamweaver doesn't support anything beyond Bootstrap 4.

    https://www.bootstrapcdn.com/

     

    Cards require valid HTML & Bootstrap classes plus the supporting Bootstrap 5.3 libraries. See below for examples.

    https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/components/card/

     

    Basic Card:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
      <title>Bootstrap 5.3.3 Example</title>
      <meta charset="utf-8">
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
      <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
      <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.3/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
    
    <div class="container mt-3">
      <h2>Basic Card</h2>
      <div class="card">
        <div class="card-body">Basic card</div>
      </div>
    </div>
    
    </body>
    </html>

     

    Hope that helps.
