Edit Wordpress in DW CS5

I have tried multiple approaches including Brian Wood's method here on the Adobe site, using MAMP and not using it. All of them go along fine until I get to the "Discover" part and I always get the error that DW is unable to locate some resources and therefore I still cannot view the site

enough to edit. Any ideas what might be wrong?

High Sierra 10.13.2 on a Mac Mini (mid-2011)

    well, I agree that WP is a bit out oversized, but any way on an application which can be very simple at start, it is always coming to have to handle this and that, and security... and AJAX ... and metadata to filter images, and options... and so all the classes present in WP can be very usefull to be used...

    I think that for much small application needed by folks around... WP is a very good framework to be learned... instead of running directly with sypmphony, zend, laravel and so on...

    just in case I give back this link (already presented in an other thread) ... it's dated... but still in uptodate Building Web Apps with WordPress - O'Reilly Media

    What do you think you're going to see?

    WordPress is essentially 100's of PHP code fragments that get assembled on the fly by the server with content pulled in from the MySQL database.   There are no actual pages to edit in WP.   The only things you can edit safely in code view are select files in your Child Theme -- index.php, header.php, posts.php, pages.php footer.php.... and CSS.

    If dynamically related files cannot be found, look at your Permalink settings.

    Thanks Nancy, but I am not sure I fully understand you. I am not web design professional and maybe this is all above my head.

    I understand that they are multiple .php code fragments. That is why they are close to impossible to edit in Wordpress. The articles and You Tube videos about editing Wordpress themes in Dreamweaver show in the examples a WP theme in live/split view as one would see it in a browser with code and I cannot get that. I supposed it was because I wasn't getting all the dynamically related files as the error code states.

    I want to change the CSS so a header image has a cross fading effect (I have the code), move the logo and alter some of the layout. I am probably way above my head on this, but is using DW to edit WP themes a pointless venture?

    P.S. The Shirish Kadam article you reference was one I tried and still got the error.

    If you can't work manually with PHP & CSS code, this is all above your skill set. 

    The WP online dashboard offers options for changing Themes, colors, images, etc...  However, options vary depending on which Themes you use.   High end commercial themes usually provide more options and a good deal more site features, too.   If you're using a free Theme, your options may be limited.  Find a Theme you like.
