    Hello folks,

    I’m trying to edit the php in my header to get banner ads to show up on my site. However, when I change the header php file in the editor of the admin area, the changes don’t save. Can anyone help me figure out how to save these changes?

    Changes to any of the theme’s files will erase when the theme updates.
    Instead create a Child Theme and work within there.

    So any changes I try to make in the editor just flat out won’t work unless I create a child theme?

    No, changes you make in the theme’s files will effect the theme. What change are you trying to make?

    I’m trying to change the header to include 468X60 banner ads using this:

    </div>
    <div class=”header_ads”>
    <?php
    $pp_top_banner = get_option(‘pp_top_banner’);

    if(!empty($pp_top_banner))
    {
    echo stripslashes($pp_top_banner);
    }
    ?>
    </div>

    <br class=”clear”/>
    </div>

    So when I insert that using the editor, the changes don’t save and nothing happens on the live site.

    I’m not sure why it’s not saving or how to get it to save these changes.
