Something isn't adding up. The Wordpress structure dictates that the path is in the "wp-content/themes" folder unless you have modified the source. Then your local site folder where the files are is "htdocs" but the Testing Server you have located at "theme1533". What you are telling DW is that you are testing the site within the site. That doesn't make any sense.

If the Wordpress installation is in "htdocs" and you are editing the files in "htdocs" and you want to serve the files from there, then the Local Site Folder and Server Folder should be the same path. Not 2 different paths.
