 * When I tried to edit my sidebar.php and save changes, it gives me the below error?
   Can anyone help me please?
 * And the sidebar.php in my dashboard looks nothing like my actual sidebar.php 
   on my site. Does anyone know why?
 * Warning: fopen(C:\Inetpub\vhosts\saltypaws.co.uk\httpdocs/wp-content/themes/fjords04-

 * Your theme’s sidebar.php and the admin sidebar.php are 2 completely different
   files.
    The theme’s sidebar.php is what your visitors see on your site and likely
   what you want to work with. The admin sidebar.php is for the dashboard only and
   shouldn’t be messed with unless you really know what you’re doing.

 * Thanks, but I wasn’t confused about that. When I said dashboard sidebar.php, 
   I meant the one in my theme under presentaions/theme editor. Any ideas?
