    I’m new to WP, hope any of you here can help me with my questions.

    I have installed a theme and trying to modify text color on CSS.

    Where can I do that? I have 2 template install the parent (i think??) and a child them. I activate the child template.

    Going to Appearance>Editor wont allow me to edit the CSS as it says “You need to make this file writable before you can save your changes. See the Codex for more information.”

    Do I need to use FTP then edit the CSS file and upload back to child them folder css location to do this?

    When I use parent theme, I can update css on appearance editor.

    PS: I’m working on child theme as it my active theme right now.

    Thanks

    You activate your Child Theme and go to Appearance > Editor, then edit the ‘style.css file’.

    That’s where you go to make your CSS modifications.

    Is your question more “how do I make CSS modifications when the file is blank”?

    Thanks @andrew

    When I try editor on Child theme it says ” “You need to make this file writable before you can save your changes.”

    I’m confused where to modify.

    Thanks for your kind support

    How did you create your child theme? For some reason it sounds like the file has incorrect permissions

    I use tiny framework, manually unzip the file on /themes.

    checking the permission on Filezilla its 755.

    Thanks Andrew, found out that it’s user and group permission issue. Consider this as resolved.
