Dreamweaver 2021 won’t launch anymore, it always hangs on launch with ‘updating site cache’ message displaying, but the stop button is unresponsive. It’s always been fine previous to today.         I’m using Mac OS 10.15.1 iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i532 GB 2667 MHz DDR4No 3rd party antivirus software.I have restarted Mac, multiple times.I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Dreamweaver 2021.I've tried restoring prefs, using the instructions here:https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver.html(both manually and with the startup screen method).All my other Adobe CC apps are running fine, computer is behaving normally and all non Adobe apps behaving normally.On a second uninstall/reinstall it launched fine when I was logged out of CC and then when I logged into CC it was fine until I quit and relaunched and the problem came back again...But when I try swiching to another user account on

Dear Community, I downloaded the latest version of apache xampp phpmyadmin, but am unable to get it to work properly with dreamweaver. But when I use an older version of xampp 5.6.3 from nov 2014 the connection works fine. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks

I was wondering if any could help me, I've been trying to create a registration page for dreamweaver and following the tutorial here from Adobe; https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/dreamweaver/using/building-registration-page.htmlBut when following I've realised certain features are missing on my version of dreamweaver which is the latest version like when the tutorial says "In the Server Behaviors panel (Window > Server Behaviors), click the Plus (+) button and select User Authentication > Check New Username from the pop‑up menu." the user authentication option isn't appearing for me when selecting server behaviours. so how would I find this option on the newest version of dreamweaver or how would I do this step on the newest version of dreamweaver if there is a new method of adding user authentication? thanks for help in advance,

Hi All, I'm having the same issue, however I don't believe it is related to the solution above. I have multiple PHP pages all with the same database connection settings, although some work and some don't. The issue usually happens when I make a change to source code, for example changing a wrapper from being outside a form to being inside a form. Then that page has a spasm and goes blank, while the others remain fine. All of the content is still visible if I switch to design view. I've tried the recommendations above for validation etc. however no success.   If I do nothing, everything re-appears again 24 or 48 hours later, which makes me suspect it may be due to a refresh or update required on the server side???   I'm not sure, but if there is a way fix within Dreamweaver would be great so I don't have to wait 48 hours.   Any suggestions other than those already mentioned above would be much apprecatied. Also: using Dreamwaever 2021.   Thanks.  

Is there any way to turn off all the annoying popups that appear whilst I am coding? If I position my cursor at the beginning of a line of code and hit return, a menu pops up. This is extremely annoying if I am trying to add space between lines to make code more readable. I like the popups that show my defined variables but anything beyond that is just annoying. How can I turn this off?

Greetings!Since the last 2 updates my live view has changed to the view you see in the picture rather than the live view. Can someone help in how to get the actual live view back. I toggled before by accident and can't remember how I did it. Thanks! Just strating to use Dreamweaver and appreciate your help. Jeff

See the attached image, you can very clearly see the problem, I can solve it by fighting to expand all the boxes, then re-collapsing them all, just updated to 21.1 build 15413 but was also happening on the previous version I was running. Suggestions on how to fix this? Extremely frustrating and wastes a lot of dev time.

Yes, I know this is old I've use it about twice a year. My tower crashed could not recover the s/w. I read that I can have the s/w loaded on 2 pc's so I have been trying to load and reactive the s/w for days. I need help this is what I have completed so far.   went to www.adobe.com/go/activation (as per phone message). Instructed to go here Activation or connection error when starting CS3 or Acrobat 8 I signed in Entered my original serial number for CS3 Web Premium. Received a new number. followed instructions to download a downloader then extracted. No more instructions so I clicked on Dreamweaver and of course it prompted with register/re-register. So I'm in a loop.   I need this s/w to work please.   Thank you, Debra

I purchased the entire CS3 suite for Mac many years ago, and have more than one active websites created with Dreamweaver. Suddenly, when attempting to access any of the apps in CS3, I am faced with a popup that attempts to activate the program, but fails to verify. Notice says that it cannot connect to Adobe. This leaves me with no access to the apps, leaving me without access to my sites. I am aware that Adobe has discontinued support for CS3, but this goes way beyond support. Any of the CS3 forums I have found are old ones that provide no solutions to the situation, and many are locked, and unable to post any queries, hence my attempt to use this forum. Any insight offered here will be greatly appreciated.   [Topic edited by moderator.]  

Doe anyone else have problems with the code view colors?  I'm having problems reading large swaths of code when everything is monochromatic.  There are very few options and from the user guide you have to go into a main.less file which is far too complicated.I've been using DW 2015 because of smoother workflow.  DW 19 has too many problems.Does anyone have a better system for customizing the code view?Thanks in advance.Rick

Hi, I've just upgraded to the latest Dreamweaver with the purple icon (that's another discussion), how do I get a dark background code view again? I can't see any preferences to let me do this?? Thanks in advance

I'm trying to move an image and add padding and margins through css, but I can't  connect that command to the image. I'm basically putting a command and not moving any images.

This may be a feature request, so far I've been able to kinda get Dreamweaver to do this but not fully. I would like to be able to customize my workspace across multiple displays. Would like to have live view up full on one screen and be able to see the html and css in seperate pannels all at the same time so I don't have to toggle between views. Suprided this isn't a feature as far as I'm aware of as they have this capability within Premiere and After Effects.

When i start with a brand new open my Icons are there to upload files and down load files. As I edit files the icons keep inching up the page and after a 5th edit the icon to post to the website is no longer there...See the sequence of images... I have reset preferences. I have installed a fresh instance after deleting the current version.

Hi, I onstalled the Add-On Comment Script.  I read the instructions : If it says successful, please read the ‘Where to Find it’ tab on the add-on homepage (click on Add-on name) which will tell you where you can find the product after it has been installedNow in where to find it, it says : Using this script is very easy.Download the zip file, extract the files (.php, .css, etc) you just need to upload the files you receive inside a directory then in any of the pages on site include the comments script: Well where exactly do I download the zip files ?  It doesn't say. Thanks if you can provide me with better instructions !

Hey gang, No idea if I am even in the right place. I am looking to set up a gallery template on a Shopify Blog for my online comics. It looks like they want me to insert it as code. Does Adobe have a way to make that happen? And is Dreamweaver the right place to start? Thanks so much for your help. Just when I think I get a handle on what I can do with the Cloud, I find out that there is a whole new area to explore. 😄 Kenny P.S. If you are so talented, and want to help a brother out, please let me know too. 😄

I am struggling setting up preprocessors.  I am new to Dreamweaver 2020 and following lessons in Dreanweaver Classroom in a book.  I have followed the instructions but the program is not creating a Sass folder.  If I manually create a Ssss folder in the root folder, the stylesheet files do not save  in the Sass folder.  I am minus the _base .scss file, as well. Could someone advise the solution?
