 * I can’t edit my theme files from the WP admin UI. When I go to Presentation >
   Theme Editor, style.css is automatically selected as it’s at the top of the list.
   When I choose one of the other files on the right to edit, it doesn’t switch 
   files; instead, it just pulls up the same style.css file even though the URL 
   is changing to indicate that the file should be changing too ([http://deanish.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=wp-content/themes/MistyLook/footer.php&theme=MistyLook](http://deanish.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=wp-content/themes/MistyLook/footer.php&theme=MistyLook)
   should pull footer.php but still pulls up style.css). I encounter this problem
   across all themes. Any ideas?
