Calling all Wordpress Themers! Do you ever wish that you could easily preview your wordpress themes while working in Dreamweaver? Well wish no more! The other day i came across an awesome Dreamweaver Extension called ThemeDreamer.
This amazing extension enables you to unlock Dreamweavers potential and turns Adobes’ Dreamweaver into a faster design environment for wordpress themes. ThemeDreamer provides a WYSIWYG feedback within Dreamweaver’s design view editor in real time. This means you do not need to deal with a server to view your CSS and template changes! Alterations are immediately reflected in Dreamweavers Design View.
Excited yet? Well before you have a complete design orgasm take a quick look at some of its features as stated by the website:
Real Time Design View
- Enables instantaneous WYSIWYG feedback on common CSS and WordPress Template Tags.
- Automatically combines theme file dependencies, eliminating the need to combine and splice header.php, index.php, footer.php, search.php, sidebar.php, etc.
- Supports both function-style and query-string-style Template Tag parameters.
Code View Hints
- Provides WordPress Template Tags, Include Tags, and Conditional Tags at your finger tips.
- Hints reveal syntax, parameter defaults, and common enumerated optional values.
Graphic Designer and Application Developer Benefits
- Offline theme development - There is no need for a server connection or a need to install WordPress locally to view most common style edits.
- Accelerate theme development time by reducing hassels with server round trips (’download-edit-upload-view’).

Without ThemeDreamer
This is the result you get when try and view a wordpress theme in Dreamweaver without ThemeDreamer. As you can see all the PHP elements do not show up making it very hard to see what you are doing.
With ThemeDreamer
This is the result you get when you put the default Kubrick theme into Dreamweaver with ThemeDreamer! As you can see the PHP elements we could not see before now appear in real time view mode!
This Dreamweaver extension is not free but I really think it is well worth the money! Pick up a copy today at www.themedreamer.com.
Saving up for that! Would be very useful, and the price really isn’t bad at all.
I love the pun. It was an intentional pun wasn’t it. “Fresh”, I believe you said. Theme Dreamer is mine next Wednesday.
Sweet!
Very useful for designing word themes in dreamweaver.I will buy for my son who is attending to computer engineering in the USA.
While this is pretty cool, if you want to avoid the cost and just set up a local db and localhost to test your wordpress themes, this video will teach you how in under 5 minutes. Great tutorial, free, and super simple.
This is an amazing extension for Dreamweaver, can’t wait to get my hands on it!
