    Dave,

    This can be caused by a number of factors, namely a problem with servers, .htaccess rules, coding, software versions etc etc.

    One thing is for sure, the problem is not caused by Dreamweaver, hence we need to have a look at the ambient.

    When you open the file from the server, do you mean the local server or a remote server? Also please elaborate on the framework (if any) that you are using.

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

    I dont think 'live view' can handle php files if DW 2017 is anything like the Brackets editor version that its based on. You need to open the page in your browser by setting the path in the browsers url box to where it is located and view 'dynamic' pages that way.

    That's just not true.

    Your testing server must be defined in your DW Site Definition.

    See screenshots.

    Servers:

    Basic Tab:

    Advanced Tab:

    Real-Time Preview is not the same as Live View.  2 completely different things.

    In DW Live/Design View allows you to edit in a visual panel -- just like it always has.

    Real-Time Preview does not allow you to edit your page.  It's merely a new-fangled Preview in Browser, for which I have no love.   I still use the old Preview in Browser to check my work in browsers.

    Any reason why? Now I have it set up so no alien code gets injected and I can use the inspection tools it acts just as if I was opening the page directly in Chrome or Firefox, plus you get live updates to edits, not that it always works 100% but then when it sticks you just hit refresh.
