Template not updating child files

I have been updating websites from 2012 with DW 2021    Some of the websites are updating properly when I make changes on templates, but this one website is  not.  No prompt is appearing.  I also note that the images folder isn't the one within the website folder on multiple sites. . It is like DW is confused as to which image folder links to which site.  The only thing that may confuse it is that the sites have similar names.

So  I had to download into a different folder,  import that as a new site and finally got it to work  after adding in the servers info. 

Thanks

This implies that your site definition is corrupted or not pointing to the proper local site folder on your primary hard drive.

Re-define the problem site by going to Site > New Site. 

And then delete the old site definition.  See screenshots.

 

 

 

Hope that helps.

I had a look at the template as well as the website of the offender, but could not see a problem.

 

Does the problem exist locally? I.e, when using Dreamweaver? If so, make a backup copy of the local site and download (get) the remote site and see if that helps. The cause may be a corrupted local file somewhere.

Please supply a link to the working and failing sites. That way we can see what is going wrong.
