    What files are you talking about?

  3. Also just as a suggestion, while you can (and many do, there's nothing wrong with that) use the built in plugin or theme editor, you might find it a safer work flow to edit your files on your PC or Mac and then FTP/transfer them up to your server.

    I find it's really easy to typo those files and cause a problem with your WordPress installation. When I do, it's easy to use my file management tools and fix it.

    just go into plugins, editor and most of files are invisible here.... for example lest take dynamic content gallery plugin,
    if you will try to edit it you will see only in main dir of this plugin:
    dynamic-content-gallery-plugin
    dynamic-gallery-plugin.php
    README.txt
    uninstall.php
    includes
    admin-assets
    dynamic-gallery.php

    but there is much more...
    in ftp you can see also folders with files like:
    js-jquery-smooth
    js-mootools
    error-img

    etc...

    At the present time, the WordPress theme & plugins editor will only allow you to access the top level folder - not any sub-folders.

    ok, thanks, i fixed it by installing:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-filemanager/
    and
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/filebrowser/

    both of them works awesome inside wordpress 3.3.1 and i can edit what i want now, thanks.
