Title: Seeing errors when saving changes Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Seeing errors when saving changes * Resolved [darkoned12000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkoned12000/) * (@darkoned12000) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/) * Hello * I just installed and activated this plugin today and it didn’t state in the install instructions if there is any specific file permissions that folders or files would need to have to get this plugin to work properly. I was making some changes and I saw this error: * Warning: file_put_contents(/home/ffadmin/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbp-style- pack/css/bspstyle.css): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/ffadmin/ public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbp-style-pack/includes/generate_css.php on line 7 * I also noticed that none of the colors I was using to change headers were working( didn’t get any errors). I am sure this is permission related I just don’t know what to change and on what files to have this plugin work without issue? * Currently all folders have 755 and files are 644 in this plugins folder and file structure. * Thanks. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950148) * this plugin creates a style.css for bbpress to use, and you are correct that the plugin won’t work without this, so you will not see any effect. * 644 should be good for this as it allows owner to read/write. * do you have ftp access to your site? * If so look to see if this file is present * wp-content/plugins/bbp-style-pack/css/style.css * That is the file the plugin creates, and if present what file permissions does it have? * Thread Starter [darkoned12000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkoned12000/) * (@darkoned12000) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950165) * There is no style.css. The only file in that directory is styles.php. * Does generate_css.php need more permissions to create the file? What files or folders in your plugin would need more privileges to create and edit files? * Because I can change them, I think my provider may have some added security in place that may be causing this. * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950180) * the wp-content/plugins/bbp-style-pack/css directory should have 644 privilege– can you check what it is? * Thread Starter [darkoned12000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkoned12000/) * (@darkoned12000) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950219) * Permissions on that folder are 755 * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950225) * so need to be set to 644 and it should work ! * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950226) * sorry ignore that, too early in the morning, 755 is more permissive. * I can only suggest that you delete and reload the plugin as maybe there is a corruption. * Thread Starter [darkoned12000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkoned12000/) * (@darkoned12000) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950272) * It looks like everything is resolved now Robin. Thanks for the time spent on this. My provider made some group/ownership permission changes and that seemed to fix everything because now I don’t get any error messages and changes made in plugin show in bbpress. * I do have one question: * I am trying to use a font family and it doesn;t seem to be showing up so I may be using it wrong I have tried doing typing these into the box but font still doesn’t show: * “Monotype Corsiva”, Times, serif * or * “Monotype Corsiva” * What am I doing wrong? * Thanks * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950274) * If you can post the url/link to a page that this should be showing on, I can take a look and see what’s wrong. * Thread Starter [darkoned12000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkoned12000/) * (@darkoned12000) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950279) * Here is the link to the page: [http://www.forgingfriendships.com/community/](http://www.forgingfriendships.com/community/) * I set the font for the breadcrumb (ie: Home > Community) and just never seems to change when inserting either “Monotype Corsiva”, Times, serif or “Monotype Corsiva” into the settings. * The help page link discusses sticking it what I have listed but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. I am sure I am doing something wrong or maybe using the wrong font name but I don’t know 🙂 * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950280) * Just tried * “Monotype Corsiva”, Times, serif * on my test site and it works. * I can see this parameter set kin the system, but something from your theme is over-riding it. * Not sure what to suggest you do next * Thread Starter [darkoned12000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkoned12000/) * (@darkoned12000) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950284) * The theme I use is Enigma Premium. I do use a child theme for tweaks and things like that, is there something I could add to a child theme to give your plugin priority over the themes CSS for bbpress? * If not, thanks for trying Robin. So far your plugin has been great and I will hopefully finish up look and feel this week for bbpress. * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950293) * Just had another look – on that page are you talking about * Home>forum * or * Home>community * ? * Thread Starter [darkoned12000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkoned12000/) * (@darkoned12000) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950294) * The ‘Home > Community’ is the bbpress breadcrumb. I will be removing that other from the page that is a theme related breadcrumb which isn’t working well. But the one right about forum box is the one I am trying to change the font on. * I was able to set the style and color for the breadcrumb line but that font doesn’t seem to be working for me. Opening this piece in firebug shows that it is inherited from ‘div.bbp-breadcrumb’. * Could that other breadcrumb from the theme be affecting this one? * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950297) * yes it is bbp-breadcrumb that my plugin alters, but if you look in firebug, you’ll see that it is grey, indicating that it is not taking effect. * With a default theme (I use twentyten to test) it works fine. * ….ok just had a thought and a look * your theme has * .enigma_blog_post_content p { font-family: “Open Sans”,sans-serif;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0 0 20px; } * which set up a paragraph (p) as “open sans” * bbpress prints the breadcrumb text following a para html, so it uses the code above, as that is what it has been told to use for paras. * so we need to alter the style pack code to * #bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb p { font-family: “Monotype Corsiva”,Times,serif;} * to get it to take effect, as now it says for a para in the class .bbp-breadcrumb use this font-family. * That should then work for all cases. * I’ll do the code change for stylepack for that later today. * Plugin Author [Robin W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) * (@robin-w) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seeing-errors-when-saving-changes/#post-5950304) * ok, version 2.2 released – let me know that this works !
