Question

Using Wordpress with Dreamweaver

I have a local server defined. I cant use the CSS designer, and I can't edit anything because it's everything is greyed out.

Like the DOM and the selectors, any ideas?

 

 

 What's the best way to do a theme with Dreamweaver? Like should I code the HTML and CSS  with the CSS designer and then import the site to WordPress?

    The ONLY files you can safely edit are WP Child Theme files.

    Avoid CSS designer panels with WordPress. If you can't work directly with code (HTML, CSS and PHP), you should probably find a commercial theme that allows you to customize your site from the WordPress dashboard online.

    So if I make a  Child Theme, all the stuff that was once greyed out will be editable?

    No offense intended but based on your questions so far, I don't think you're ready for this project.  Take some stuctured courses online at LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com).  The first month is free.
