Hi everyone!
So, I installed WordPress and was able to have:
http://www.believechurch.ca and
http://www.believechurch.ca/french,
where the second link is a different blog altogether.
I installed the same theme for both sites, and was able to access the css file for the first website (I accessed it via FileZilla), but I don't know where to go to edit the css file for the french version of the site. I tried to look up a 'french' directory using FileZilla (FTP) and I couldn't find it. Could someone please help? I would really appreciate it, thank you!
Its in the same theme. You;re using one theme for both sites. There's only ONE copy of the theme on the server.

Oh great that's good to know!
So the reason why the French version has a white background is I guess because I changed the background using a theme option, and that is overwriting the css in the theme folder?
If the theme options saves it to a file, yes. If it saves it to the options table, then it should not affect the second site.

Thanks so much again!
One last question: how do I access the files for the French site then? For example, I want to edit the footer of the index page of the French site, but not have it affect the English site.
You can't.
It's the *same file*.
Some of it also depends on your theme, but if you need to go edit the php in the files, then you need two copies of the theme with two names, an select one for each site.
they still both live in the same folder /wp-content/themes/ though.
This is an older post but does explain how themes are referenced.

I have another problem related to this website, and I figured it's easier to use this same thread.
Here is a link to the photo of my problem:
I am wondering how to remedy this, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Generally you should actually make a NEW topic (we try to flag these as resolved ;) )
Short answer: Your folder's not writable. Change the permissions on the /blogs.dir/2/ folder, recursively (so that ALL subfolders get changed) to 755 and see if that works?
