Set Dynamically-Related Files preferences
When you open a page that is associated with Dynamically-Related Files, Dreamweaver can discover the files
automatically, or let you discover the files manually (which you do by clicking a link in the Info bar above the page).
The default setting is manual discovery.
1
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh OS).
2
In the General category, make sure the Enable Related Files option is selected.
3
Select Manually or Automatically from the Dynamically-Related Files pop-up menu. You can also disable the
discovery entirely by selecting Disabled.
Discover Dynamically-Related Files
1
Open a page that has Dynamically-Related Files associated with it—for example, the site root index.php page of a
WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla! site.
2
If the discovery of Dynamically-Related Files is set to manual (the default), click the Discover link in the Info bar
that appears above the page in the Document window.
If the discovery of Dynamically-Related Files is automatically enabled, then a list of Dynamically-Related Files
appears in the Related Files toolbar.
The order of Related and Dynamically-Related Files in the Related Files toolbar is as follows:
• Static related files (i.e. related files that do not require any sort of dynamic processing)
• External related files (i.e. .css and .js files) that are attached to dynamic path server include files
• Dynamic path server include files (i.e. .php, .inc, and .module files)
Filter Related Files

so that you can precisely locate the files you want to work with.

2
Discover Dynamically-Related Files if necessary.
3
Click the Filter Related Files icon at the right side of the Related Files toolbar.
4
Select the types of files you want to see in the Related Files toolbar. By default, Dreamweaver selects all Related Files.
