Can't delete .dwt files from "Templates" folder

Aug 14, 2012 2:39 PM

Categories: Dreamweaver & FTP, General Discussion Tags: #templates #folder #delete #ftp #.dwt

Hi there,

 

I accidentally uploaded a .dwt file as a template instead of a .htm, and when trying to delete it,

I get the following error:

 

Transmit.png

 

In the admin of the site - under pages - when selecting the template, you get this error as a result of having the .dwt template (that you can't delete) in the folder:

 

template.png

 

If you try and delete the file from within the admin area - there's no visible templates to delete:

Is there any way around this?

 

Cheers

 

Dave

    Hi Dave,

     

    You are actually suppose to upload the .DWT file.

     

    BC will convert it to anh .html file when you upload via Dreamweaver. If you download the template from BC (.html) it will convert back to a .dwt to be used in Dreamweaver.

    Ah, I see you didn't use DW to upoad the template.

     

    If you are using a third party FTP program you need to have /dw at the end of your username settings in your FTP program.
