Title: header.php file keeps getting deleted Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # header.php file keeps getting deleted * [bluetooth15](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bluetooth15/) * (@bluetooth15) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headerphp-file-keeps-getting-deleted/) * Today i tried to put the code for webmaster tools into my header.php file via the editor using the description here: [https://managewp.com/how-to-set-up-your-wordpress-website-in-google-webmaster-tools](https://managewp.com/how-to-set-up-your-wordpress-website-in-google-webmaster-tools) * i slotted the line of code immedieately below the tag, and hit update file. * Everything in the text input box deletes and the file save like that. empty. * I have gone backwards in the browser, and copied all the code, and saved it in texteditor, so i have it (thank goodness), but every time i paste it in, and hit save, the whole thing deletes again. * How can i fix this? * here’s what some of the code looks like that i’m trying to put in: * ``` class="no-js"> <?php ci_e_title(); ?> >
<?php _e('We\'re in beta!', 'ci_theme'); ?> ``` * _** [Please use the code buttons (NOT single quotes) to post code] ** Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [David Choi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpthemes777/) * (@wpthemes777) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headerphp-file-keeps-getting-deleted/#post-3703948) * The possibilities are: * 1. You don’t have enough file permission to actually save the file. See if the file permission is writable like 644. * 2. If it’s hosted on the server, the cache is keep on reverting the old file back. Contact your hosting to see if they can help you with this. * Thread Starter [bluetooth15](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bluetooth15/) * (@bluetooth15) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headerphp-file-keeps-getting-deleted/#post-3704035) * It seems that the problem has been resolved. * Left it alone overnight, and I have now been able to change the code. * Possibly it was occuring because the domain was being migrated from one host to another, and 24 hours had not passed. Now that it’s globally migrated, maybe its working normally? * [David Choi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpthemes777/) * (@wpthemes777) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headerphp-file-keeps-getting-deleted/#post-3704041) * Well, that is possible, unless you’ve logged in using IP instead of domain name. * But glad the issue is solved.
