Question

Dreamweaver pages will NOT load when I upload them.

When I attempt to edit my web pages in Dreamweaver, and upload them to my site, they WILL NOT load at all. The old page remains, and even  AFTER I delete the old page off the server entirely. When I reload the edited page, the OLD page is STILL THERE. NOTHING WORKS. My web host company cannot find the problem! This glitch is costing me money and making me angry. It needs to be fixed. I have no idea what to do. I've tested it in several browsers, and it's the same thing.

Does your server's root directory name, the highlighted information in Nancy's screenshot, (usually it will be a folder called www, htdocs or public_html) appear anywhere within your local site, within DW's Files window?

For example...

To confirm it's not a probelm on the server, can you upload files with a dedicated S/FTP client like FileZilla?

What's weird is it kept trying to upload EVERYTHING to my ftp server. I had
to stop it, go and delete a bunch of files from my public_html folder, then
it crashed and vanished off my computer. I have to re-download it, because
now the only way I can access Dreamweaver is via Adobe Cloud. This is
becoming a never-ending nightmare with this program! And..It STILL will not
refresh the pages!!

Yes, everything is precisely where it should be. I've gone through multiple
forums and have learned there are a great many others who have experienced
this same glitch. Dreamweaver, itself, is the culprit. I will be searching
for another html editor and uninstalling this very soon, because it's
costing me a LOT of business I can't afford to lose!!

No! This IS a frikkin DREAMWEAVER issue! I've cleaned my cache and have checked this problem in multiple browsers and have the exact same problem!!! Adobe needs to FIX THIS PROBLEM or they're going to lose a LOT of business, and soon! I'm mad as Hell right now. I have everything set up the way it should be with my FTP server, password, etc.. and it WILL NOT LOAD THE UPDATED PAGES!!!! I've read about 50 comments from other users about this same thing. Don't blame it on the browser. It's DREAMWEAVER itself!

    Did you clear your browser's cached data (F5 or Ctrl+R)?

    Did you test with a different browser?

    1. Did you create a site definition from Site > New Site?
    2. Did you enter your server's correct log-in credentials and Remote Directory?  See screenshot below.
    3. Did you hit the TEST button to confirm the connection? 

     

    Hope that helps.  Post back if you need more help.

    I have the ftp address, etc. correct, but it still will not refresh the
    new pages at all. Then, it suddenly stopped working. I had it downloaded,
    and now it's gone. I can only access it through Adobe Cloud. I have no idea
    how to RE-download it. Can't find the link to do so.
