Edit an existing Site with Dreamweaver
Im sure this question has been asked 100 times, but how do I edit an existing site (published and on the web) with Dreamweaver CS5.5? I took over as webmaster month last in a company and want to change the companys Web site. How to download files on the web? I can do it with Contribute but not Dreamweaver.
Create a local site folder in DW. Site > Manage Sites > new.
Go to Advanced > remote info and enter your log in details (FTP, URL host, username, password).
Test the connection to the server.
Then GET the files from the server.

I was editing my Web site with Contribute CS4, but apparently it's not compatible with Yosemite 10.10. Should I upgrade to CS6 help or go to Dreamweaver?
As far as I KNOW, no version of Contribute is entirely compatible with the Mavericks or Yosemite.
I think that Contribute days are numbered...

New to Dreamweaver - students, working in the Windows environment (w.CS4), trying to bring to an existing website (made in the pagespinner/mac). I have set up a new local site in Dreamweaver and want to confirm that the files of 'Getting' from the remote site is next step. I want to only copy files to work with them on the spot. Later I'll upload to the Web server.
Yes, this is your next step

Is it possible to edit the pages WordPress with Dreamweaver?
I heard that it can cause errors, but I wanted to confirm before that not excluded. Does anyone else have experience with Dreamweaver, used in conjunction with WordPress? My site is http://www.boskyoptics.com
Thank you!

Can't answer your question unless you're somewhat specific as to what exactly you want to edit in WP.
If you are talking about writing content in DW and then sticking in WP then it is possible, but the amount of work required is so you will better write the content yourself in WP editor itself.
However, if you are talking about tweaking WP theme then Yes you can do as much as your experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and php is at a very advanced stage. Whereas as you explore your options, I suggest stick to WP exclusively or stick to DW exclusively until you are sufficiently confident to try something different without bodging anything on your site.
If you want an introduction to these things, I suggest looking for the power of David tutorial in which he discusses in detail.
I don't know why you thought a link to your site is useful for this discussion. Some moderators would consider it as spam.

Adding "User Registration System" on my site with DreamWeaver...
I did some reading and watching YouTube videos on how to go about this process and it is rather confusing. Does anyone have a description on how will this process for Dreamweaver 2014.1.1 the 'proper' way to build/system of registration of the user to add to their Web sites via? Below my "sync settings" at the top right I don't have that CSS designer, files, active, Insert, checked. In all the video tutorials I looked there was much more so than :-(
In a batch which I read and watched, I feel that I have a generator that is "test server" PHP Script for a database. That being the case, Adobe has all - or any specific PHP software suggestions - as to what we should use with Dreamweaver? I guess we certainly with regard to the registration of the user due to the gross amount of the names/emails/etc., that can be collected.
I know I'm wide enough right now, but I'm looking to be guided in the right direction. I know insert a simple model of the user registration system would be easy, but I don't know if this is how it's done for everyone in this case. As well, I'd like to at least make a unique in a certain measurement, that's why I love Dreamweaver!. It's my third site and I'm looking to improve each!
Thanks for any help/links.

DW alone cannot do that.
Simple way:
If your hosting plan gives you a server C-Panel, you can connect to it and create password on your server folders. A folder with the same user name and password.
If that fails, contact your webhost and ask their password protect a folder on your server for you.
Lasts:
If your server is Linux and not Windows, you can use the .htaccess and .htpasswd files to protect a folder on your server. See below for more details.
Protection of password with .htaccess and .htpasswd
Harder, more advanced medium:
Create a MySQL database with phpMyAdmin on your remote server.
Create files CRUD with PHP scripts.

Creation of Web site with Dreamweaver
Hello
I have dreamweaver CS3 (I know this is old but I have an original license, so I need to continue to use) and I usually update my sites using the Dreamweaver FTP. It is great because I can change my Web site and must not commit whenever I change a file.
Said that, today, I have my Fireworks openen and when it validates the changes it displays the error:
Binary mode on sitepor500.com.br does not support the file "Criação - site.css".
I change the CSS files and it do not download! My FTP is operating normally, there are no major changes in the last days. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Can I change a site with Dreamweaver Weebly?
I occupy a site that sells clothing for dogs and accessories for my wife (www.pawpoint.co.uk) who told me has about 200 errors html in there. This must have been caused by the Weebly drag and drop Editor. Can I change the html on the site errors to improve performance or will Weebly just re - insert errors when I then download my Web site? Can anyone help on this please?
Don't waste time trying to solve this site. It is what it is.
Put your efforts in the construction of a new Web site that you can maintain in DW.
With regard to performance. Find the best accommodation.
Currently, the IP address of your pawpoint is shared with 1 496 other sites. It is appalling.

How to use BusinessCatalyst with dreamweaver 2015
I use Dreamweaver 2015 CC and Business Catalyst
I understand how to connect to an existing site with Dreamweaver, it seems that the previous functionality to use BC modules in DW has disappeared. Is my only option to go beck to an older version?
Effective in 2015 CC, Adobe dropped the Manager extensions and stopped further development of the Extension of the BC. To proceed you must now log in to the servers of BC with sFTP.
"Partners use superior (at 2014.1.1) versions can continue to change sites Business Catalyst by Dreamweaver using standard sFTP connections rather than the interfaces for Management Business Catalyst Panel and the location."
"For information about how to configure your server sFTP in Dreamweaver for your sites Business Catalyst , please follow the link above for documentation that explains the installation and the workflow to follow in the future."

I have a site made with dreamweaver, but I want to change it to the sensitive site
Hello
I designed a Web site with Dreamweaver, but it's a non-reactive site. so I would change to a sensitive site. could someone help to change? Thank you
Best wishes
Mark
Be reactive does not necessarily easy to mobile. Mobile users interact differently with their devices. Your new site should have tap & user-friendly menus by scanning, forms and other interactive elements to facilitate a mobile user good experience. Then, there is a content mobile and considerations of bandwidth to be reckoned with. Mobile users don't need to see a lot of content, or they like the heavy websites that feed on their use of data plans. In short, there is no magic button for this. It takes planning and execution.
Some people like to jump start their mobile page layouts using a sensitive framework as Bootstrap or an add-on commercial magically generator presentation of the seven project.

There is nothing to import. Go to Site > new Site and say DW where your local site folder is located on your hard drive. Example: C:\yourSiteName (see screenshot).

Creating an Ecommerce site in dreamweaver
Hello
I want to create a webshop (such as a subdomain of my main website) and after the creation of several sites with Dreamweaver, I go with that. The only problem I have is to find what I need...
I downloaded opencart but if I try to open the index.php I just mistakes (maybe I'm not creating things correctly). I'm pretty good in themselves teaching and using online guides, so if someone could help me with the basics I can take it from there.
I'm mainly after the chips do I need or a map how all this fits into the picture.
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I can't seem to get my head it round at the moment and continuous conflicting info on the net is not helping...
PS I use v6 but BusinessCatalyst does not work so it's on :-(
Thanks in advance for any help!
To properly use the script within DW, such as php server, you will need to have a local test installed MAMP or XAMPP server. Once you install the testing server, you will need to add it to your site settings, and then turn on the server so that DW to show what is happening with your php files.

I have Dreamweaver CS6 and want to know if I can edit an existing Web site built in front of Page if I have the user name and password, and how do I go about this?
Hello
You must define a site in Dreamweaver and need to set up your FTP server. One for that, you can connect with the FTP server where your FrontPage is loaded and you can get the copy of the said locally.
Link below explains how.
