Leon Kilat at The Cybercafe Experiments has instructions on how to edit a WordPress theme using Dreamweaver.
WordPress, like most PHP-MySQL CMS, use template files to control the appearance of websites. The webpage is assembled from several PHP files controlling specific aspects of the site like the header, sidebar, main content and footer.
To use Dreamweaver to edit or customize WordPress themes, you need to combine these different PHP files into one page so that you can immediately view, while editing the codes, how the page would appear.
I think it is an overly complex way of editing WordPress themes, but for those that love Dreamweaver and don’t feel comfortable in anything else, have a look at this little tutorial.
can wordpress themes edit in frontpage, is there any option?
No php editor compares with Dreamweaver. This is the best working with php files…especially when it’s about a blog.
WordPress and Dreamweaver are both excellent platforms for developing web sites. But there is a real gap when it comes to custom theme development. I’ve developed a new extension for Dreamweaver to accelerate WordPress theme file modifications by allowing you to get a ‘draft’ view of a theme file in Dw’s Design View.
This can help you instantly navigate Code View and to see how pieces of WordPress’s Template Tags and CSS attributes effect your pages and posts. It does this without a server by simply replacing common tags and emulating a dummy post in Dw’s design view. Its a beta (be kind!), but it is promising! Learn more at:
