# Error when selecting Theme Editor

 * I run 200+ blogs and I have recently taken some time off which kinda made me 
   forget what had been done upgrade wise before the time off. I have found at least
   2 blogs that when I click on ‘Theme Editor’ I get this:
 * “Oops, no such file exists! Double check the name and try again, merci.”
 * I know that I had upgraded most of them to 2.5 recently and not sure whether 
   or not that could have had an effect on anything.
 * So until I figure this out, I seem to be stuck. It is also effecting other things
   on the site. For example, my random images no longer appear on the sites with
   this problem.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * You may have missing/corrupted files. Upgrade WordPress for those blogs and see
   if that helps.

 * I’m having the same problem recently. Looks like something related to access 
   permission, but I can’t find a solution yet. I’ve set chmod 777 to all the theme
   files and folder, but nothing happens.

 * I moved onto other things after posting this original problem. I just tried upgrading
   once again, replaced ALL of the files, and I am still having the same issue. 
   Read some other threads which suggested CHMOD, tried that also to no avail.
 * This is at the bottom of theme-editor.php, telling it to return this error if
   there is an issue. I don’t know php well enough to distinguish what exactly outputs
   this error.
 *     ```
       <?php
       	} else {
       		echo '<div class="error"><p>' . __('Oops, no such file exists! Double check the name and try again, merci.') . '</p></div>';
       	}
       	?>
       ```

 * On another note, when I go to theme editor it says this:
 * **All of this theme’s files are located in /.**
 * And upon checking some of my other blogs that use the same theme it sats
 * **All of this theme’s files are located in /wp-content/themes/theme-name/.**
 * How do I change that in wordpress? I have opened tons of config files and have
   had no luck.
