I had DW cs5, upgraded to CC and made a new site, used the same website folder as before

why did it it not smoothly transition? Now i have every file, document, includes content and all with this ? mark.

Correct answer ozdave

Is it when you preview the page in browser or live view or are the question marks in the file panel, I think that's what Jon is getting at.

If its when you are previewing the page then its a special character(s) encoding issue


i did a look around and i see that the question marks are not normal, they indicate no availability to an apache server fir testing php in DW. so, you guys are just off on a tangent aren’t you.

i fix this myself.

Could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing, is it diamonds with question marks in?

yes, it is, as you describe it seems to be anything related to php.

i am looking in design view. i am looking on local site not the remote server or testing server. it’s just when i open cc edition i see everything but for those <.?> marks

Are you talking about these question marks, in the Files window...

If so, it's normal. That's the new icon for .php files.

The newer versions of Dw are very dependant on the correct site definitions.

Have you checked for duplicate files, supported file extensions, .temp files, unusual or multiple file extensions (eg .inc.php.temp).

well, i truly have no idea what you are referring to. Can it really be this hard??

it is simply not recognising any of my pages. When I click off and go back to cs5 all is ok.

my file extensions are .php but i dont see why this should matter. if cs5 seen it.

ive been on this all day!! its doing my head in. If Im going to pay a monthly fee is there not someone on help desk who can help me? is there a number to call.

There is a customer support number, which I hope Preran​ or someone else can supply you with.
