   Is it possible to still edit your templates using the wordpress interface, even if your blog is located outside of the wordpress directory.
   I did everything according to these instructions:
   http://wordpress.org/docs/installation/different-address/
   And, now when I go to edit the main index template, I get the old one located in the WP directory and not the new one in the root directory. Is it possible to edit this tempalte through WP, or do I have to now FTP any changes to my index.php file? thanks

   I've been able to edit any files on my site through WP by simply using the correct path/filename comibination.

   so,
   let's say i have wp installed here
   http://www.mysite.com/wp/
   and my index.php file is here
   http://www.mysite.com/index.php
   When I got to the templates page andI use the edit file box, I've put in
   /home/mysite/public_html/index.php
   and got nothing and also
   http://www.mysite.com/index.php and got nothing.
   Is there something else I need to be doing to make it work?

   and when I type in index.php I get the original index.php file that's located in http://www.mysite.com/wp/index.php, which does not update http://www.mysite.com/index.php

   Whoops, meant to give a few more details...
   Wordpress is installed at /htdocs/wordpress and my weblog is at /htdocs/collections.
   When I try editing ../collections/index.php I get "Sorry, can’t edit files with ".." in the name." and when I try editing /htdocs/collections/index.php I get "Editing ./htdocs/collections/index.php Oops, no such file exists!"
   It seems like the edit "Common files" links should be relative to where you set your blog directory to be. Any help in getting template editing working for non-Wordpress directory blogs would be great

    Lopolis, did you ever find a satisfactory answer to this one? The last one seems a but "Linuxy" to me. I am having precisely the same problem.
