Question

unable to discover wordpress file in CS5

Hello everyone,

This is the first time I have dabbled with wordpress for CS5.

I have XAMPP set up and have created my wordpress log in to view the dashboard.  I went in and activated a theme and it is in my file structure under my website name in the files section in CS5. 

This is my file structure to the theme:

C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\design-notes

I have this listed as my local site folder and my local server address in CS5

When I try to discover the index.php for the "design-notes" theme CS 5 shows and error and asks to retry.

I am to the point of desperation to fiure out what I am doing wrong.  I feel like I am close to a solution but I just can't get there.....Thank you all for any suggestions.

Another question.....How flexible are wordpress themes with editing?

Have you disabled mod-rewrite/friendly URLs in the Wordpress web admin page?  If not, log into your admin via a web browser and go to permalinks and use the default with the "?p=123".  Dreamweaver is currently unable to process other server directives thus this option may be different than it is on your live server.

I don't understand your question about how flexible are editing wordpress themes.  What DW gives you is code hinting and live view so that you don't have to remembr all Wordpress PHP functions when you custom code Wordpress in code view, and then the live view allows you to preview using the Webkit engine (Safari, Chrome, iOS, Android) without needing a browser.
