Thank you for bringing that up. I understand the concerns regarding economic sanctions.   My recommendation of LFTP was based on its strong functionality for file transfers, rather than its hosting origin. If Adobe prefers a different source or an alternative FTP solution that aligns with their policies, then they could explore other options. The goal is to improve Dreamweaver’s FTP capabilities for a better user experience.   ... View more

I couldn't find official confirmation on whether Dreamweaver is supported on macOS Ventura 13.7.6.    Error code 198 is a known issue when installing Dreamweaver, and it could indeed be related to your macOS Ventura 13.7.6 upgrade. While I couldn't find a direct confirmation that Ventura 13.7.6 is causing this, macOS updates sometimes introduce compatibility issues with third-party apps.   Here are a few things you can try: Run Creative Cloud as Admin – Open Adobe Creative Cloud and try installing Dreamweaver from there. Safe Mode Installation – Restart your Mac in Safe Mode and attempt the installation again. Check for macOS Updates – If Ventura 13.7.7 is available, updating might resolve the issue. Reinstall Creative Cloud – Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Creative Cloud before trying Dreamweaver again.   ... View more

Here’s a breakdown of the differences between Dreamweaver, Bubble.io, and Wappler:   Dreamweaver Developed by Adobe, Dreamweaver is a traditional code editor with WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) functionality. Primarily used for front-end web design, allowing users to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while previewing changes in real time. Requires coding knowledge, but offers visual tools to assist with layout and styling. Best suited for static websites or sites where developers want full control over the code.   Bubble.io A no-code platform designed for building web applications without writing code. Uses a visual editor to create both front-end and back-end functionality. Ideal for MVPs (Minimum Viable Products), startups, and business applications. Has limitations in performance and customization compared to traditional coding platforms. Users are locked into Bubble’s ecosystem, meaning they can’t export their code for use elsewhere - Bubble Forum.   Wappler A low-code/no-code hybrid platform that allows users to build web applications with drag-and-drop tools while also enabling custom coding. Unlike Bubble, Wappler lets users export their code, making it more flexible for developers who want control over their projects. Supports native mobile app development, making it a better choice for those looking to build mobile-friendly applications. Requires some understanding of coding, databases, and server architecture, but offers more scalability and performance compared to Bubble.   If you're looking for full control and coding flexibility, Dreamweaver is a solid choice. If you want quick development without coding, Bubble.io is great for MVPs. And if you need scalability with the option to code, Wappler offers the best of both worlds.   Having said that, Dreamweaver was once a powerhouse tool for creating websites, but with the rise of modern no-code and low-code platforms like Bubble.io and Wappler—along with powerful CMS options like WordPress—it’s not as commonly used today. Adobe still maintains it, but its relevance has declined, especially among new web developers who prefer more flexible or cloud-based solutions.   So, while Dreamweaver itself isn’t getting hospice care, the concept might loosely apply if you see it as a legacy tool that’s being kept alive with minimal updates. Kind of like an old but cherished veteran of web design! 😃 ... View more

Based on general web design practices, there are a few ways to update a website:   Offline Editing & File Swapping – You can modify your website files on your local computer and then upload the updated versions to your hosting server via FTP or a file manager. Content Management Systems (CMS) – If your site is built using a CMS like WordPress, you can make changes directly through an online dashboard without needing to swap files manually. Version Control & Staging Sites – Some developers use version control systems like Git or set up a staging site to test changes before deploying them live.   ... View more

This issue is likely due to the default behavior of Bluehost, where the primary domain is set to use the `public_html` directory for all website files. If the website is only working under `/public_html`, it suggests that the domain might not be correctly pointing to the right directory.   A possible fix involves modifying the `.htaccess` file in the `public_html` folder to ensure that requests for the primary domain are correctly redirected to the appropriate subdirectory. This can be done by adding specific rewrite rules to the `.htaccess` file.   Another approach is to check the document root settings in Bluehost's cPanel and ensure that the domain is correctly mapped to the right directory.   ...

You can connect your Wappler project to various databases, including MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server, whether running locally or on cloud services like Amazon RDS.   If you're setting up an AWS RDS database for production, you may need to adjust your server connection settings to ensure smooth transitions between development and live environments.   ...

Outlook mobile has been known to handle images and scaling differently from other email clients, which can lead to unexpected behavior like this.   One possible workaround is to use vector-based solutions like SVGs instead of image maps, as they tend to scale more reliably across different email clients. Another approach is to use CSS-based clickable areas rather than relying on traditional image maps. Some developers have also found success by explicitly defining the width and height of the image and ensuring that the image map coordinates are dynamically adjusted using JavaScript before sending the email.   If you're looking for more technical insights or potential fixes, you might find discussions on Stack Overflow and Microsoft Community helpful.   ...

Hi @MalibuEd , refreshing your website automatically every hour is achievable with a small addition of code to your site's <head> section in the index.htm . Here's a simple way to do it using HTML meta tags: <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3600"> </head> This line of code tells the browser to refresh the page after 3600 seconds (1 hour). You can adjust the content value to your desired time interval in seconds.   Alternatively, if you're using JavaScript and want more control, you could use a script like this: <script> setTimeout(function() { location.reload(); }, 3600000); // 3600000 milliseconds = 1 hour </script> You can place this <script> tag in the <head> or at the bottom of your page before the closing </body> tag. This approach gives you flexibility for adding conditions or specific functionality during the refresh.   ... View more
