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
Try putting in ../index.php

anyone know what I did wrong? or if this is just the way WP is? thanks.
I’m having the same problem
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.
