 * When ever I try to edit my theme with the theme editor built into WordPress, 
   at the bottom it doesn’t have any submit buttons or anything, it just says in
   italics “If this file were writable you could edit it.” What file has to be writable
   and how do you make it writable?

 * Also, another problem I am having is when I try to upload a file, picture, etc.
   it says: The uploaded file could not be moved to /www/zxq.net/m/x/s/mxscrubs/
   htdocs/wp-content
 * I’m not sure if I uploaded stuff wrong or what?

 * I’m having this same issue. I have changed all the permissions to make the entire
   themes folder writeable but it’s still not allowing me to make changes. Any other
   suggestions?

 * yes, i have the same problem.
 * I have made all theme folders writeable, yet there is no “save/update file” button(
   or whatever it is on the “theme editor” page.
 * i dont understand the problem and have been trying everything.
