   tried to just tinker around with have their permissions locked.. Thanks

 * Have you checked that the themes’ directories are all writeable?

 * So every theme is writeable? Is that what you are saying?

 * No – that’s NOT what he said. ALL themes are editable. He’s asking if you have
   used chmod to set your file permissions to ALLOW editing. IOW – you have to manually
   set file permissions for all your WP files to allow editing.
