# problems updating index.php

 * Hi, I searched all over and can’t find this, but can’t believe I’m the first 
   to have this problem. I edit my index.php file and upload it via SmartFTP (permissions
   =666). The changes do not appear. When I use the web interface to view my template
   files, the index.php file shows up without the changes I’ve made (although if
   I view the file through SmartFTP, it shows changes). In addition, it says I cannot
   save changes because the permissions are not at 666. Is there a hidden index.
   php file it’s using that I can’t find? Anyone know what’s going on? [http://www.teebubble.com](http://www.teebubble.com)
   if that helps. Thanks!

 * What do you see ?
    Try pressing CTRL-F5 to force a hard refresh. It sounds though
   like what you think is index.php is not what wordpress thinks is index.php Where
   are all your wp files on the server ?

 * Thanks podz,
    It is definitely an issue of wordpress looking somewhere else for
   an index.php file — I removed mine completely last night, did CTRL-F5, and it
   works perfectly. My wp files are in x.teebubble.com/wordpress. If there’s anything
   else you need to see that I can send, please email me at toni066 at yahoo dot
   com.
