Dreamweaver CS6 - Dynamically-related files could not be resolved

I have the MAMP Server running. And a Wordpress database defined and running. I set the file up yesterday...and it worked fine all day as I edited the Wordpress site files in Dreamweaver in a Local environment.

I went back again to Dreamweaver today and when I have the index.php file open in Dreamweaver and click on the Discover link, I get the message "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server."

When I go back to check the Site Setup...everything appears correct.

In the Basic Window I have -- Connect using: Local/Network... and the correct Server folder and Web URL

In the Advanced window the Server Model is PHP MySQL

And the Testing Server box is checked.

So why would it work fine and then not work?

What am I missing?

Thanks

Correct answer dcarlsondesign1

I discovered the answer...so I thought I would post it for anyone else experiencing the same "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved" message.

Dreamweaver has a bug, where the Discovering Dynamic files feature will not work with Wordpress, unless you leave the Wordpress Permalink Settings at their default.

If you have changed your Permalink settings to the more search-friendly Post-name setting (for example), you will have to set it back the Default setting.

      I was having this same issue, setting up locally using XAMPP on Windows, i changed the permalink structure but Dreamweaver still had issues.

      I followed this post, which cleared it up:

      Skip to the good part:

      Defining a PHP site in Dreamweaver CS5

      Problem solved, hopefully this will save someone the trouble of trying to contact Adobe technical support on the weekend like i tried.
