 * I’m getting HTTP 500 error when loading theme-editor.php.
 * Other admin pages seem to load fine.
 * Anybody know how to resolve this?

 * Theme editor is not at all working. Does not show any error, but nothing happens
   after pressing update button.

 * An error 500 occurs if you have an improperly defined theme stylesheet.
 * Make sure the Theme Name appears at the very top between commenting such as
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: XYZ Theme
       */
       ```
   
 * The comment tags must appear on separate lines. If they are on the same line 
   as the Theme Name, an error 500 will occur.
 * PS If the WP developers can correct this, that would be especially helpful to
   newbies.

 * I tried adding arkane8’s Theme Name to the stylesheet, but no luck. Also changed
   CHMOD to theme folder to 777, still no luck.
 * I’m working in 2.6.2, with a spanish language installation.
 * Any ideas?

 * No ideas because you don’t have a question.
    And start your own topic – don’t
   revive an unrelated 5 months old thread.

 * Sorry, moshu, I don’t think the question is unrelated. And in the past, I’ve 
   been scolded for NOT posting to a related thread. I’ll try again.

 * seems that this is still an issue. I’ve got a site that has the same, same. And
   it has the same issues with all the loaded themes.
