    Hello all! Im very new to this community but not new to the internet and coding world. Actually Im about 3 hours old in this WordPress world!

    I have downloaded a few themes (Pixeled and iNove) and Im right into now. However when I click on the Theme Options to edit them I get stuck with the

    “Cannot load functions.php.”

    error just on a white background. The functions.php documents are in the folders for the themes so Im kind of at a loss for whats going on here. I can’t even edit the Default or Classic themes using this button. Am I missing something? It feels like a cruel joke!

    Any help would be great.

    what version of wordpress are you using? you tagged this as 2.6, is that correct?

    I looked at 2.7 and if you are using that, your error isnt being generated by the wordpress core files.

    Try disabling any plugins you have activated and seeing if that doesnt fix it.

    I am using 2.7 my mistake.
    I disabled the one plugin I had but no luck.

    I’m having the same issue. WP 2.7.1, theme is WordPress Default (same error with Coogee theme, which is the theme I want to use).

    i’m also not able to launch the theme editor. Error message is: Sorry that file cannot be edited.

    I’d appreciate any guidance. I have never had to change the CHMOD on my files but I did try and gave the theme-editor.php 775 but that didn’t fix it.

    Try chmodding the wp-content/themes folder to 755 or 777.

    The themes folder is at 755 and it still doesn’t work. I don’t want it at 777 due to security.
    Any other ideas? Is this a 2.7.1 bug? I’m thinking of installing an older version of WP just to move on.
