Question

Template controls cannot be activated, DW2021

I have imported my large but unsophisticated website into a new DW2021 and connected it to my host server. All of my files are visible in the local root files panel, including my Template folder of dwt files, also visible under Assets. But I cannot get the Template controls, Insert>Template or Tools>Templates, to be active; they are shaded out and I cannot Apply Template to pages. Is there a solution to that problem?

    Which operating system?

    Did you restart your computer after installing Dreamweaver?

    Yes, I did; it's a new Windows 11. It's a bit more complicated now, though, as not long after my posting, after three days of fretting about this, both Insert>Template and Tools>Templates were magically active -- but shortly afterward they were gone again. I think it has to do with the way I was working with my pages, and probably I just need to spend some more time learning the different way of working with them -- I'm transitioning from the 2008 Dreamweaver, and so far there's a lot that's different but so far it's all there, and I mangled a copy of trial pages into good form. Thanks indeed for your reply; I'll be back if necessary, but I hope not.
