    So I received an email a few days ago stating that my website had been updated to WordPress 3.8.5. Now, when I go to my website this error is shown at the top of the page:

    Warning: file_put_contents(/home/content/17/5515617/html/wp-content/themes/novelty/novelty/custom-style.css) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/content/17/5515617/html/wp-content/themes/novelty/novelty/functions.php on line 66

    And when I try to access jarredbuck.com/wp-admin, I get these errors:

    Warning: file_put_contents(/home/content/17/5515617/html/wp-content/themes/novelty/novelty/custom-style.css) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/content/17/5515617/html/wp-content/themes/novelty/novelty/functions.php on line 66

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/17/5515617/html/wp-content/themes/novelty/novelty/functions.php:66) in /home/content/17/5515617/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 896

    Does anyone know how to access my dashboard and fix this error? I’m not a web developer, so please let me know if there is any other relevant info missing.

    The main error here is the file_put_contents. Everything after that is due to something trying to populate the header and naturally it can’t after output ha started (if output buffering is no set).

    My question would be, why is the theme file trying to write content to the custom-styles.css file?

    I have no idea. Everything was working properly last time I went to the website (about a month ago I updated it without incident). I assumed the issue was due to the upgrade to WordPress 3.8.5, since that was the only thing that changed.

    Use your ftp client to temporarily rename just the ‘novelty’ theme directory. Revisit your site at yoursite.com/wp-admin and log back in. That should let the default WordPress theme take over. Then you can figure out whether you’re dealing with a theme compatibility issue/problem or a hack. The 3.8.x series hasn’t been supported for a while now.

    jarredmbuck Did you have any success resolving this issue? I’m having the same problem over at https://www.bethazore.com with the same theme. Help! How can I fix this?

    No, savourmedia, I’ve had no luck. I’ve found that the theme is no longer available for purchase, so I’m guessing that there’s some problem with it as far as newer versions of WordPress go. Frustrating.
