   Hello,

   I tried to edit my footer.php to add some script before the </body> tag. I then got the following error message.

   Warning: fopen(D:\inetpub\vhosts\thedarktower.info\httpdocs\wp\wordpress/wp-content/themes/takteek01/footer.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\inetpub\vhosts\thedarktower.info\httpdocs\wp\wordpress\wp-admin\theme-editor.php on line 55

   Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\inetpub\vhosts\thedarktower.info\httpdocs\wp\wordpress\wp-admin\theme-editor.php:55) in D:\inetpub\vhosts\thedarktower.info\httpdocs\wp\wordpress\wp-admin\theme-editor.php on line 70

   I deleted the stuff that I added but I still get the error message.

   For the past two days I have been locked out of the httpdocs folder of my FTP site. How did that happen?

   Normally I would re-upload the theme but being locked out of the directory precludes me from doing that.

   Thank you,
   Mik

   Does anyone know what could have possibly locked me out of my httpdocs folder? All the other folders are fine but everything I need to access is in that httpdocs folder.

   Did you try to use a stand-alone ftp software like filezilla or even FireFTP (Firefox addon)?

   The error was probably caused by a blank space on the beginning or end of your footer.php.

   I am using Filezilla.

   I wondered about the blank space at the beginning or the end of my footer.php, but now I cannot upload and amended file with the directory locked.

   I will try it in the WordPress theme editor and see if it gets rid on the error message and unlocks the directory.

   Thanks :)

   nothing that you have described is going to lock you out of a directory.

   if you cant change the permissions, in order to correct that, than contact your host -- they can.

   That's what I figured... They seem like two unrelated issues.

   Why is it that I cannot edit the text in the footer or add script (for something like Kontera) before the </body> tag without getting an error?

   A-ha! I figured out the FTP problem...yes it was unrelated to WordPress, it just happened at the same time I changed something in WordPress.

   I will post a new topic with my current problem.

   Thanks so much :)
