I found the answer to this problem. This solution works if your website files are on your computer's hard drive or on a flash drive (and I would think this works if your files are anywhere else, such as a cloud server online or on a personal cloud server in your home or office).
>Site
>Edit Sites (or New Site)
>Edit (or New)
>Advanced (Tab)
>Local Info (is highlighted)
... you usually press the File Folder Icon to get the pathway on your hard drive (such as this: C:\Libraries\Documents\YourWebsite\ ... or if you are using a flash drive: F:\YourWebsite\).
But sometimes Dreamweaver MX will ONLY copy the HARD DRIVE and INCORRECTLY will show the pathway as this: C:\ (for a flash drive, this: F:\). Therefore, Dreamweaver MX IS NOT COPYING the entire pathway to your website file folder on your hard drive (or flash drive) to your website files.
Dreamweaver MX needs the ENTIRE pathway to your file folder so that the templates will work. The solution is easy (as long as you can remember the solution!).
Once you get the correct hard drive name and the correct symbols for the pathway (Such as C:\ or F:\), now go back into Local Root Folder box and type in the full pathway name to your website File Folder. Do the same thing for the Images file folder.
For the images file location, just click on the Filer Folder Icon to start get the correct hard drive for your images file folder pathway. Now go back and type the entire pathway in the box so that Dreamweaver actually knows where your website images are located.
Eventually, your Site Definition Dialog Box, in the Advanced Tab, and Local Info category, should probably look something like this, to the right.
That's it. I hope this helps!
