NEED 1 mobile version in the fluid grid layout created in DW

Hello Dreamweaver Community!

How do I create only 1 mobile version for my entire website? or link back to the same exact mobile version from every page?

I'm sure this question has been answered so I hope it's an easy fix for me and I don't have to start all over but I've missed a step in the process. Currently I have to update every single page of the website if I make a change to the mobile version. I thought when I create the fluid grid layout that it would automatically link back to the same mobile version I created from the index page. It is very time consuming for me to have to update the mobile code for each page. Please help!

Thanks,

No easy answer for this.  You need to re-build your site in a responsive layout that works on mobile, tablet and desktops.  Once your layout is created, add content.    Maintaining 2 separate web sites is grossly inefficient as you're finding. 

Legacy Fluid Grid Layouts are a thing of the past.  Adobe removed that feature from CC 2017 for a reason. 

And FGLayouts were never a magic bullet for connecting an existing desktop site to a separate mobile site.  That's not what it was designed for.

My advice is to start over with Bootstrap to build your layout.  See related discussion below.
