master pages not changing web site

I am having trouble with the editing of the master page showing up on all pages.If I change the master page, either be the changing of hyperlinks or adding of information, when i save it it only saves on .dwt pages and the default page. All other pages that have been created using the same theme, which actually is just a copy page that i changed info on, stay the same and wont add the new info.I want this info to show on all pages and not just the default pages, and I can't figure out what is wrong.

I take it you do mean 'DWT' not 'masterpage' (which is ASP.Net). You can't mix them easily and it's definitely not recommended.

Have you tried 'Format - Dynamic Web Template - Update All Pages' ?

That option is greyed out. If i go to a certain page and try to just update that page i just get a message that 0 of 1 pages were updated and the page didn't change.

When you say "only a copy page I changed the info on" can you tell us exactly what you mean? Do you mean you copied the DWT or a page linked to the DWT?

For pages to update they must be linked to the DWT and you need to have "Manage website using meta data" enabled under Site > Site Settings or only open pages will update.

I would highly recommend you get the Dynamic Web Template ebook from Tina Clarke (free) http://any-expression.com

what I mean by a copied page is that i just copied the default page and inserted that as a new page and created a new page out of that hoping that sense the default page always changes maybe a copied page would as well, i was thinking i might have messed up a rule or something when I just start a completely new page so thats why i made a copy of that page and tried using it as a new page with changed information on the body leaving all other stuff the same.
