Dreamweaver Library items will not update on pages

I am having issues with the library items not updating on the pages that they are placed on.  I get this in the log:

files examined: 3 files updated: 0

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Proprietary Library Items and DW Templates work well for small sites.  But they don't work well on sites with a "ton of pages."   That's when things get corrupted.   Remove Library Items.  Save.  Validate code and fix reported errors.  Re-insert Library Items.

Try Restore Preferences.

I've got to be honest with you, there's not much to like about Library Items.  Server-side Includes are infinitely more efficient & flexible.

Hi Nancy,

Thank you!  I have tried to restore the preferences and I still have the same situation.  I would prefer to use the library items, this site has a ton of pages and I really do not want to convert them to php.  Just not understanding why the option for library items is availbe if it doesn't work.
