    Hi Every Body
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I have installed city guide woo theme. Once I try to edit the inner pages, it gives me a message “You need to make this file writable before you can save your changes. See the Codex for more information.”
    Also, there is no option to update pages.
    Please guide me as to how I should make the pages editable.

    Regards:

    Thank you very much.
    I have read it but if you can please tell me specifically what to do, that would be great. Because I am unable to correct it even after reading it.

    THanks

    File Permissions
    To edit a file through the Built-in Editor, the permissions for that file must be set to 666. You can change the permissions on files by using a FTP client program, web-based interface provided by your host, or from the command-line using telnet or ssh (secure shell). These options are dependent on the type of access your host offers.

    What FTP client are you using?

    I deleted the previous theme and was trying to upload the theme again and after uplaod was complete, following message appeared.
    Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2012/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    I am totally confused. What I should do now?

    Thanks

    Did you change the file permissions on your server?

    You might also contact your hosting company for help with this.

    On which all files or folders, I need to change the permission setting. wp admin, wp contents or wp includes or any other file or folder.

    I installed wp via file zilla. So it has all the default privilege settings.

    You need to change the permissions on all the files you wish to edit eg the files in the city go woo theme.

    See http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-change-file-permissions-using-filezilla-on-.html for details about changing file permissions.

    This message appears
    Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2012/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Although I have given full ‘755’ permission to wp-content.

    Thanks for your co-operation.

    755: Files with permissions set to 755 are readable and executable by everyone, but only writeable by the file/folder owner.

    You need to change to 666. 666 is best!

    Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

    Dear

    Sorry to bother you so much.
    Now I have set all preferences correctly. wp content is 666 but still this message is appearing.
    Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2012/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Which is this parent directory?
    Thanks

    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Every thing is done. Only one last thing is that if I open any page of code, e.g header.php etc. If I make any modification, update button is not there.
    I have set the preferences of wp content as 666. But it is not appearing. Any idea that I should change which folder or file to get update button in editor.

    Thanks once again
