Questions

I have been using Dreamweaver for more than 20 years and have over 2,000 webpages, all using templates. Suddenly, as all templates are present in the root directly and show up in the Files window, they do not show up in the Assets window anymore. I had DreamWeaver 2021 but uninstalled and reinstalled "DreamWeaver 2025", but it seems that the only thing that has changed is the copyright note on the startup. Does anyone have this problem with the unusable templates?

The only way I can test some of my links (stripe for instance) in my dreamweaver page is to open the page directly from the folder with chrome. Live view doesn't open any links and "Preview in browser, chrome" sometimes doesn't open them either. Also under preferences, there is no "Preview in browser" item on the left hand side. What can I do to make a web building software operate href links. Thanks

Hi,sometimes – a.g. now – Dreamweaver freezes during editing a new local file, just after I've opened it and tried to insert text from the clipboard:   ... having the latest version: "Ereignisanzeige":Das Programm Dreamweaver.exe Version 21.5.0.15662 hat aufgehört mit Windows zu interagieren und wurde geschlossen. Weitere Informationen zum Problem finden Sie im Problemverlauf in der Systemsteuerung „Sicherheit und Wartung“.  It's probably very difficult to find the cause of these crashes, isn't it? Thanks!mycc 

My nav bar on my website is not displaying correctly.  How do I expand the text?

Hello All,I was on the phone with GoDaddy for a couple of hours. I purhased hosting for a site that I built, but I am not able to connect by ftp and upload. Specifically, Go Daddy has said that it needs to upload to the public_html folder that is available as I witnessed on the cpanel. However, no matter how variations of public_html I put into the site seteup, it will not connect. The only way it connects is when I put in a /. But then, when I look at the remote server menu in DW, I don't see any of the files and folders I could see in cpanel including public_html. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am consistently seeing the dreaded Red X, but when I click on it, I get nothing to check or correct. Any clues on why this is happening?

I have this page I'm working on: https://www.bassett.net/pages/david.shtml - yes I know I need to redo my website to make it responsive, but no time at preset. What I want to do, is to have the items under each headline be collapsd unless they click on a plus or arrow to open the content. Example of what I have in mind: https://liquiddeath.com/pages/faq I tried following along https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgqbbg3EW7Q, that uses https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_accordion.asp, but had issues on exactly where the segments of code would go, in relation to the code already there. Is it even possible when using a page with shtml? I have a vague memory from year ago that there was a way to have my interior part of the page pull in an htm, but I'm not sure if it's my imagination or not. I WAS able to make an htm/html that worked from the YouTube. I'm using Dreamweaver 21.4 and Windows 10.

Dreamweaver really needs to come into the 21st Century. I created an arrow function, and Dreamweaver is saying that it's a "Syntax error".  Please see attached image. The function works, there is no syntax error.  Please fix this.

I'm curious if anyone else has come across this issue and what is everyone going to use when Dreamweaver is truly dead. I like the tools it provides for web specific site building. Modernize and bring it into the future!The "latest" version of Dreamweaver on Mac Sequoia has error when I try to Find Recently Modified Files:While executing onClick in SelectRecentlyModified.html, the followingJavaScript error(s) occurred:At line 370 of file "Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Dreamweaver 2021:Configuration:Menus:MM:SelectRecentlyModified.js":DWfile.getAttributes(listitem) has no properties/Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver 2021/configuration/Menus/MM/SelectRecentlyModified.js It is invoked here (See abnove) With the help of AI, I fixed this file:/Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver 2021/configuration/Menus/MM/SelectRecentlyModified.jsif (listItem && DWfile.exists(listItem) && DWfile.getAttributes(listItem).indexOf('D') != (-1)) {The error you are seeing:DWfile.getAttributes(listitem)

I have a dream that Adobe developed Dreamwear into a better app. What would this app have for features? First and foremost, all the features that are included in the current DW, but significantly updated and backwards compatible.New features built-in server side type WAMP and XAMP, AI controlled Validators for code and links and scripts. Genuine Design features, tied to Adobe's other range. Support for both independent and team development. Automated maintenance of finished web product with the help of validators on both the development side and client side. Also good support for third-party development of plugins and addons desirable.Support for other types of web applications type Rails, Aspnet, Sinatra, Lean etc. It would be the equivalent of the Swiss Army Knife for web programs.What do you think!

I've been a fan of DW since the Macromedia days, but development seems to have slowed, if not, stopped. Is this the case? Will there be any real, and proper, updates in the future? I'm thinking about updating support for PHP 8, and Bootstrap 5, along with keeping up with progress of SASS, LESS, and removal of Compass and Bourbon, both of which are no longer supported/discontinued. There are no real alternatives to DW that does everything DW does, in one place. Please Adobe, don't leave us behind.

Here is my ideal Dreamweaver interface workspace:Things of note:Fiels panel on the left, and the snippets next to that. Both are "sticky" and persistent in their space.Same with the search/properties panel on the bottom.When a file opens, it opens in the available space.This is perfect.  Two days ago, Dreamweaver forced a reinstallation on me. In the process of reinstallation, I lost my worspace saves and my snippets. With some great tech support, I was able to get my snippets restored. Now that I'm in it and working, I see that I am also missing my workspace layout that I love. I have this instead, the default Developer view: as you can see, Snippets is hiding behind Files. I can bring it forward, but then Files is hidden behind Snippets. I want both panels always visible.  Also, Properties is gone. When I bring it out, it's a floating window, which I can't stand.  With some fooling around, I can bring snippets out as a floating panel so that I can see Fi

Dreamweaver isn't installing on my Mac and is  giving me error code 198 "There is a problem installing Dreamweaver". Unable to install the product. Click retry to download and install it again.  I have clicked retry, have tried installing a previous version, and have been restarting my machine between attempts. This seems to have started after my computer, a mac, was upgraded to Ventura 13.7.6 Could this be related to the problem that I'm having? Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

There have been many complaints surrounding the Dreamweaver FTP functionality. One very easy to implement imporovement would be to replace the current FTP module with LFTP.   LFTP stands out among file transfer tools for its robust command-line capabilities, multi-protocol support, and reliable error handling. Compared to GUI-based clients like FileZilla, LFTP is scriptable, making it ideal for automated transfers and batch processing. It also supports parallel transfers, mirroring, and FXP, which allows direct server-to-server transfers.   Other CLI tools like Wget and cURL focus more on HTTP-based downloads, whereas LFTP excels in FTP, SFTP, and BitTorrent transfers. Additionally, LFTP’s resume functionality ensures interrupted downloads restart seamlessly, unlike some basic FTP clients.   Please consider!!!  

This morning, I tried to open Dreamweaver. It wouldn't open. When I went to the application icon, it had turned itself into a folder. Weird.  I went to the Creative Cloud app, looked up Apps, found Dreamweaver, hit Install. Went and got a coffee. Came back, truned on Dreamweaver. Turned on just fine, but I noticed my snippets panel was set back to the default.  I have fifteen years of snippets in Dreamwever. I've had them synced with Creative Cloud so that I don't have to worry about them being lost if my machine crashes or gets wet or stolen. But they are not pulling down from Creative Cloud. Why not?  I can't find any option to toggle to tell Dreamweaver to pull down the snippets from Creative Cloud.  Here's a Dreamweaver screenshot I took a couple years ago for something else which happened to capture the snippets. Most of the folders are unexpanded but you can get a sense of the universe of snippets I use: Just to be clear, these were cl

I am a beginner in web design and I just uploaded my first site. I was wondering how I would make changes to it going foward? Do I modify offline and just swap files or is there another way?

Various Dreamweaver web pages and the app page on the creative cloud app show multuple tutorials. If you click on them, you're end up on the Adobe Learn page of Dreamweaver, but this one only shows one tutorial (understand the anatomy of a website). https://www.adobe.com/be_nl/learn/dreamweaver?locale=nl-BE&learnIn=1  Anyone an idea where I can find the other tutorials?

Some of you old timers may remember me from my heyday with Dreamweaver in the late 90s and early naughts. And I even see some names here that I remember. Well, anyhow, I am in the process of re-hosting a very small site built in the mid 90s using one of Project Seven's wonderful extensions. At this point I can't remember what it was called but it implemented a linear array of thumbnail images that would enlarge when clicked. Now, to test my ability to get this site going again, I uploaded it to a subdirectory on another site, browsed to it, and it worked perfectly. Now I have uploaded it to a "holding" location on the new host site, and the images are there but they don't expand when clicked, instead they just shudder annoyingly. So, it works in one place and doesn't in another. I'm sure that Gerry Jacobsen could diagnose the problem immediately. Does anyone know how to contact him?

I would love it if my custom elements would pop-up as I'm opening a tag this would significantly speed my coding. Just to clarify, I type:<custom-eAnd it offers as a choice:<custom-element>

Hi everyone,right after the 21.5 update, DW can't sync files anymore.I've tried everything, including deleting dwsync.xml files and even preferences files.Nothing: it just can't sync with remote server.Got back to 21.4, but I think this is a huge problem to fix asap.
