    First, thank you for developing this plugin. I’m relatively new to WordPress, and the articles I read about migrating from a local installation to alive server made the process look intimidating. With All in One WP Migration, it was quick and easy.

    The problem I’m having is that I’m unable to access theme files via the editor at Appearance > Editor. For example, when I click on the footer.php file, it yields a Page Not Found error. (The URL the link points to is http://test.relationshipbuilders-lakeland.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=footer.php&theme=edin

    One thing to note: After the import completed, there were some instructions on the screen, the first of which was to update the Permalink settings twice. I don’t recall the second instruction. When I clicked on the link to edit Permalinks, I was prompted to log in again. Once I re-logged in, the instructions were no longer available to me. So there may be a step or two I was missing.

    Any help in solving this would be appreciated.

    Hello bifriedman,

    Thank you for the kind words.
    It seems like you have not missed a step. There are only two steps – save permalinks and review the plugin. You have already done the first step and the second one is totally optional.

    Do you feel confident logging to your server via FTP and checking if the theme files really exist in your theme folder?
    If not, please kindly send the email to [email protected] and one of our agents will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you and best,
    Pim

    I did FTP into the server and the theme files are indeed present. I tried to edit via the file editing function in Filezilla and save it. The updated file is there, but the footer text I deleted is still displaying. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    The site is http://test.relationshipbuilders-lakeland.com/

    Here is the contents of footer.php:
    <?php
    /**
    * The template for displaying the footer.
    *
    * Contains the closing of the #content div and all content after
    *
    * @package Edin
    */
    ?>

    </div><!– #content –>

    <?php get_sidebar( ‘footer’ ); ?>

    <footer id=”colophon” class=”site-footer” role=”contentinfo”>
    <div class=”footer-wrapper clear”>
    <!– .site-info –>
    <?php if ( has_nav_menu( ‘footer’ ) ) : ?>
    <nav class=”footer-navigation” role=”navigation”>
    <?php
    wp_nav_menu( array(
    ‘theme_location’ => ‘footer’,
    ‘menu_class’ => ‘clear’,
    ‘depth’ => 1,
    ) );
    ?>
    </nav><!– .footer-navigation –>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </div><!– .footer-wrapper –>
    </footer><!– #colophon –>
    </div><!– #page –>

    <?php wp_footer(); ?>

    </body>
    </html>

    Could it be because you have a caching plugin installed? If you do, try cleaning its cache

    OK, it turns out I was editing the wrong file. I have located the correct file and edited it, and now I’m getting the correct result.

    I’m still not sure why I’m not able to access files through the built-in WordPress theme editor. The only file I can access there is style.css.

    Since this does not to be an issue with the All in One WP Migration plugin, I’ll close the issue.

    Thank you for the help.

    Let’s try to resolve the problem, we want to help the users of the plugin with their sites, not just with the plugin itself.
    Could you check the permissions that you have set on your styles.css file?
    In your FTP client (I recommend FileZilla, open source and free), navigate to wp-content/themes/<your-theme-name> then right click on styles.css and select properties or permissions. Observe the permissions and the owner of the file.
    Do the same for the file you want to edit but is not accessible in the editor. Is there any difference between the two? If there is, can you make the other file looks like style.css and check if it is working?

    Thank you,
