I tried to update an email address on the website using Email Spalm Blocker and it produces an error.

 

Error:

"Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded"
What to do here?

 

Please advise

    Unsolicited advice: CS6 is woefully outdated and on life support.  It's time to replace your 13+ year old app with a modern code editor before you're forced to.

    Open the Template.dwt file to make changes.

    Save changes and populate to child pages.

    Upload all child pages to your remote server.

     

    Good luck.

    That error usually means your site used Dreamweaver Templates during development. In order to make changes to pages outside of the specified Editable Regions, the change will need to be made to one or more .DWT files located in the site's "templates" folder. You will then be asked to update all Child pages made from the .DWT. Once that's done each changed page will then need to be uploaded to your server. 

    If you are trying to add a script to a page that doesn't have an Editable Region in the <head></head> section, one will need to be added to your .DWT so you can modify the script for that page.

    Make the change in the template.

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
