• At this location:
    /wp-admin/theme-editor.php

    Suddenly, none of the files are editable. This message displays:
    “You need to make this file writable before you can save your changes. See the Codex for more information”

    However, we haven’t changed any CHMODs; but we confirmed, and they are set correctly.

    Any idea what’s goping on?
    Thanks

    It means the file permissions on the wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/*.php files. What are they set to?

    The files are either: 755, 775, or 777 << All are presenting issues.

    wp-content folder is: 755
    themes folder is: 755

    Thanks!

    What’s the permission for the specific theme folder? The one inside wp-content/themes ?

    It’s possible your server just doesn’t let you use the theme editor, mind you.

    wp-content/ 755
    wp-content/themes/ 755
    wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/ 755

    Not the case. We’ve been using it for the past two years.

    Are you sure your theme editor is pointing to the right theme? IIRC the dropdown on the right is alphabetical…

    Not the case. We’ve been using it for the past two years.

    Yeaaah, and nothing changed anywhere? 😉 I say this because I know for a painful fact that cPanel just upgraded a mess of servers and shot a bunch of people in the foot.

    Go through what YOU might have changed, what your server might have changed, etc.

    I here you 🙂 — this is actually a friend’s site, I’m relaying what he told me (and my observations). But obviously, something changed.

    What do you mean by cPanel changes?
