Default Editing a wordpress theme in Dreamweaver - 05-06-2008 , 03:49 AM






Hi there I have been looking every where for help on how to setup a wordpress
theme in dreamweaver. So that I could edit it in Dreamweaver which would be so
much easier. The main reason is so that I can add and delete what I want and
make a theme better and also my own!

I don't do it this way, so I can't vouch for how well it works, but here's a
way to do it that I had bookmarked:

Consider using the Dreamweaver extension, ThemeDreamer. It turns Dreamweaver
into a WYSIWYG editor for WordPress themes. Open just about any WordPress theme
to get a visual approximation in Design View. It's great for customizing CSS,
drag n' drop/position blocks of code (just like you did with html in Dw), while
easily navigating code in CodeView, eliminate the need to guess/parse multiple
files (header.php, etc.) that make up a theme. Bonuses are code hints, context
sensitive documentation via the property sheet, no server required (work
offline), etc. Sure, Design View is just an approximation but it sure beats the
heck out of trial n' error for doing design.

Without it, you're missing out on alot of Dw's potential with WordPress.

Hope that helps!
