Trouble with dreamweaver templates and libraries

I'm currently in the process of redesigning a website, and I'm using Dreamweaver templates and libraries to maintain a consistent look on each page.

I've gotten to the point where I'm almost finished with the site, and wanting feedback from other people. A way to do this is copy the site over to another drive that is accessible to others in the company I'm working in. The problem is, I copied (ctrl + a) & (ctrl + c) and pasted all files into another folder (on another drive)... and when I go to edit the template and library files in Dreamweaver, they do not update their child-pages. The change is just saved to the .dwt file.

I went back into my other drive (that I had initially made the website in), and updated something on the template page, and a thing pops up and goes through the process of updating each of the child pages. This is what I want in the other drive.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on with copying the files to another drive, that makes it not update?

I had this problem, but I solved, problem is with the path, if you have a look at the #begininglibraryitem "/your path.. you can see wrong path, but it should has began with "/your website name or folder name/libarary/...

Just ctrl+f and find replace entire website with. "Match case" option to replace then for a test, change your library and update you can see all pages :)

I think it cause by wrong cash, I dont know the reason but I got how to solve

I figured it out. When I copied the folders over to the other drive, Dreamweaver wasn't recognizing the template file (Template/content.dwt) as a template of the site.

What I did: File > Save as Template... and saved over the template file that was in the folder. The child pages updated after that. Thanks to everyone who tried to help with this issue.

You can manually launch the update dialogue from Modify > Template > Update pages.

If that does not recognise that the page you updated has children it will likely be an issue because of the path of the files. If this is the case I would recommend you manage it as a new 'site' in Dreamweaver, but to do so I would export the original in the manage dialogue to a .ste file, then import it back into DW

Which version of DW are you using? I can set up a site within a site on mine
