Manage>Files clear cache?

i’ve got the same problem right now… i mistyped a file name a couple of times and now i can’t get to any of the files that I used to manage thru the web inteface.

this seems to me to be related to the theme, since the ‘files’ are theme related, depending on the theme being used.

i’ve found my stylesheet via ftp, but can’t figure out the correct way to type in the filename in the box at bottom.

I found I had to open a working linked page, update and do that 4-5 times to clear this list of links (which are really only the last 5 urls accessed…right?

I agree, though, a “clear list” button function would rock.

As a sidenote, I opted to modify my WP files and commented out the Recent files list (in wp-admin/templates.php) and add to the common files list all files that the client might want to edit (I’m no plugin builder).

Finally, you can typically avoid “no such file exists” errors by appending the proper path structure. Otherwise, if the file is at the root level, just use the file name

so you might use something like:

.htaccess
/wp-includes/js/quicktags.js
/wp-content/themes/mythemefolder/myfile.php

remembering that your header, footer, sidebar, category templates, etc are all within a theme folder. Sorry if this seems simplistic, but I’ve only worked on one WP site and it helped once I learned this.

Because I am building this for a client and I am responsible for all upgrades to WP, I don’t mind modifying some of the admin pages to incorporate changes that make the client’s job managing content easier… and my client didn’t like the “no such file exists” error in the manage>files (recent files) list.

“i’ve found my stylesheet via ftp, but can’t figure out the correct way to type in the filename in the box at bottom.”

In most ftp programs, right-click on the file and choose “rename” from the options dropdown box.

Your style.css doesn’t have correct name?

it is most likely at:

/wp-content/themes/nameofthemefolder/style.css

where nameofthemefolder is whatever folder your theme lives in… for example, if you are using default or classic, substitute that for “nameofthemefolder”

make sense?

And, if you can see your directory structure (on the remote server), you should be able to see the name of the folder that holds your theme files

HTH

thanks syncbox… that was exactly what i was looking for
