WordPress Editor Wont Let me edit

What exactly do you mean? It’s not giving an area in which to edit?

Do you happen to see a message that starts with “You need to make this file writable…”?

no like I click appearance>editor and the stylesheet comes up but when I click like header.php in the right the page just refreshes the stylesheet it dont go to the header.php script/code

actually now its saying this page cant be displayed

now its saying the theme does not exist ?? I dont get it.

i went back to 2.7 and it still says the theme does not exist ??

I’m sorry. I can’t reproduce the problem.

For what its worth, I don’t recommend using that built in editor. Its probably fine for CSS but if you make a mistake with the PHP files you can take your site down, even to the point that you can’t get into wp-admin to correct the mistake. Plus, it encourages editing without making backups by people who don’t really know what they are doing. I’m all for ‘fingering things out’ as someone I knew once put it, but not on a live site and not without backups. In short, that editor is in my opinion a very, very bad idea.

But…

What theme are you using?
Have you edited it at all?
Did this start after you edited it?
What are the permissions on the files?

i am just editing it through the ftp. If i have any problems I will update.
