    Hi,
    I am facing some problems in my wordpress site. I asked many times in this forum. No body answered me correctly that what I should do. The problems are…
    1. When I go to edit theme. I mean Appearance>Editing… I can’t see update button there. I mea to say that when I want to edit my theme header or footer, it doesn’t show update button below page editing page. It says “please see codex settings.”
    2. Secondly when I install any theme weather from my cpanel or word press admin panel and then activate this, it shows some memory limit problem.
    3. Can’t update any plug-in. It means that when I search a plug-in and then install it, it also shows some memory problem.

    I contacted my hoster, he said he was working on it. I think, it is chmod problem. I show my files permission here. I don’t know much about it. Please help me to make it default. May be then it becomes fine.

    Files: Permissions
    1 cgi-bin 755
    2 wp-admin 755
    3 wp-content 755
    4 wp-include 755

    In wp-content files permissions are like this

    Backup-db 750
    Plugins 755
    Themes 755
    Upgrade 755
    Uploads 777
    Please help to find out the solutions.

    Thanks. Waiting for best reples.

    Yes, the update button only appears when the file is writable. Check out Wordpress Codex - Editing Files

    The memory problem is a pretty common one. This page may help you fix it:

    Change the permissions of your theme folder to 666, then change them back to 755 after you have edited the files.
    I prefer to use Notepad++ rather than the clunky theme editor.

    There is no need for moving server.
    You can change permissions 777 or 755 the file which you want edit.
    For example editing header.php change ftp .. /yourthemename/header.php
