    I have seen an apache directory when I am in the ftp program.

    The person who set it up was able to change the permissions but they put them to 777. so I sent them your last message and the part in the codex about the 777 permission. They were just thinking that I could not figure it out. So it was nice to have something to send them so that they will make the change to give my username ownership of the files.

    BTW I changed the background

    Thanks so much!

    It is set to 755 and 644 respectively. That does not work.

    I can’t change the permissions. Could it be that someone else setup the wordpress site and theme for me and are hosting for me? Why can they change the file permissions and I cannot? they think that i should be able to change them myself. It says ‘operation not permitted’ when I try to change the permission numbers.

    It is /wp-content/themes/lifestyle/style.css

    and I found the spot where the color needs to change.

    When I enter the new color # and click save, the message that I get is FTP Error: Upload failed
    style.css: Permission denied.

    Hey i think I found it. i had to go up one directory. 100 files, it is to laugh. that was just a fraction of it. LOL.

    I’ll be back if I have a problem.

    If not thank you so much. I’ve come a long way. 2 months ago I didn’t even know how to use face book. It was ALL greek to me.

    Ok thanks

    Now I have all that running. I do not know which file to open and edit for the background color. I opened several and hunted for the color code that was in the css style page on my site. I tried searching for body and background too but there was too many hits.

    There are about 100 files??

    I tried 666. It is read/write only, not execute. I went to my css style page and it then gave me an error message that i did not have permissions in the file.

    I am using filezilla. That is where I changed the permissions to 666.
    I have a new mac so can I use text edit?

    Are you saying that I copy the css style to text edit and then make changes and then copy it into the css style page?

    thanks
