Morning Guys,

I am still unable to actually edit anything in the pages, the Dreamweaver seem to only play with little html, I cannot even move any buttons menus or even background colour.

Is everything hard coded in the database?

I tried everything the past 6 days, nothing but a total failure L

Please assist me

Thank You.

Kind Regards

An Elgg site is no simple webpage that only consists of html with a little CSS styles. It's a highly complex framework that includes a lot of php, JS, html etc. Elgg has its code structure that makes it possible to modify it and adjust it to your needs, if you have some knowledge about php, html etc. and if you have understood its structure and how to create a simple Elgg plugin. There's no style information saved in the database. It's all in the code of Elgg (in its views), but you need to spend some time to learn about that.

I don't think you will find any software tool that will allow you to change the look of Elgg in the way you are looking for by simply offering you a WYSIWYG interface. If you want to create your own custom theme I would suggest to set up an Elgg installation locally on your computer where you have easy access to the source code and are able to make modification (and errors) without breaking your real Elgg site. Learn how to make your theme an Elgg plugin (you might want to start with any exisiting Elgg theme as a starting point).  Without spending some time to learn and to actually create your theme it won't work though.
