I changed the permissions on my footer file to 777 however it still shows the text:
"You need to make this file writable before you can save your changes. See the Codex for more information."
Why wouldn't this work? Would there be another setting that takes precedent? Any help appreciated.
Are you sure that you are changing permissions on the right footer.php file in the right theme folder?

Yes, just double checked - thanks for responding. Unfortunately the team that set up WP is not longer accessible to me. Is there a another setting I could check?

I was reading that Apache Servers actually read 0777 instead of 777. Could this be the issue? Also FileZilla does not allow me to enter a "0", where would I make this change?
No - that's not an issue.

Got a solution my hosting provider went in at the root of the web server. Then went and ran: chmod 777 themes -R.
Thanks for responses.
