Does your site use Dreamweaver Template.dwt files?

Are the linked files contained in Templates or Child Pages?

  • Which version of Dreamweaver?
  • Which operating system?
  • Are your sites properly defined and residing in a read/writable folder on your primary hard drive?
  • Does this happen with ALL sites or just certain ones?

Up to date version of DreamWeaver on Mac Catalina. Occasionally a backup website root folder has been copied from another drive and replaced on the Mac, but DreamWeaver editing only on the Mac hard drive. Only working on this particular website currently.
