In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeEsmi,
I appreciate your help up to this point, especially the promptness (almost like a “chat”); but I have to sign off for the day – you’re probably off to bed anyway being in the UK (if your profile is correct); so maybe we can try to pick this back up tomorrow.
My current status is: having to use 777 to have the “Update File” show up for Theme Editing; but get the 501 Error when trying to “Update File” some of my theme’s files – e.g., so far the “sidebar.php”. I can successfully edit the .css files…
Thanks.

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeOK, I have since found out that I can have a .htaccess file in any subdir, so I created the one you showed in the subdir of my theme; but it didn’t make any difference with regard to the error I was getting trying to make mods to the “sidebar.php” file (or, not making any changes and still trying to do the “Update File” button).

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeWell, I’m actually beginning to think this is not worth it. I thought now that I can “Update” I would test a little change, but even if I bring up a file, don’t change anything (because changing stuff made this happen as well) and try to “Update File”, I just get the following error:

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeWell, as an update. I tried adding a “joeuser” user with administrative level privileges and logging in as that instead of admin, while changing the permissions back to 775 and the button disappeared again.
Is there another way rather than leaving ourselves so wide open like this?

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeNo, you are right, I meant I tried it and it DID work – I just don’t prefer to leave the settings at 777. Here’s a thought. If the “owner” and “group” are, say “joeuser”, but I’m logging into the dashboard as the default “admin”, would that make a difference?

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeWell, I daresay, that worked, but I feel this is an extremely unsafe solution. Can you think of a work around for this? (Or are you going to say “set the permissions to 777 while you’re working on it and set them back when you’re not” – I hope not.

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeDespite the 775 chmod, I still get the “You need to make this file writable before you can save your changes. See the Codex for more information.” instead of the “Update File” button…

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeI downloaded the .tar.gz again, uncompressed again, re-set all the “themes” files/folders to 775 and still no “Update File” button!

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeAlso, I have tried in both Firefox and IE, so it doesn’t appear to be a browser thing…

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeNo difference. The “Update” button is just not on the Edit Themes page. I even tried moving the whole new theme folder out of the “themes” folder so that I was back to just the Default and Classic themes, but still no ability to edit! Just FYI, I followed the codex instructions on copying the “default” themes subdir to a new subdir and it correctly appeared as an available theme for me to chose from, but I cannot edit any of them. Please help. I’m more or less at a standstill because trying to make little adjustments and FTPing in between them all will take way too long.

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeOops, I meant to mention that in my original post, since I saw that recommendation elsewhere – I have no plugins activated. (I had actually only added one – the codexsearch – but since deactivated it because I didn’t have time to play with it’s positioning and it was overlapping things I wanted to be able to see as I learned WordPress.

In reply to: No “Update” button for editing my own themeNo, there is no “Update” (or “Save”) button on the “Edit” screen at all.
