    before i set the round theme to 0777, but i dont think it had any affect, should i do the hole theme directory or just the theme that i want to be able to edit. Ill set it again and see what happens

    What I do is use FTP to download a copy of the file, edit it locally on my desktop, and then I upload it. I always want a backup copy on my desktop. I never edit directly.

    Yes i did it! you have to change the permission of the style.css directly, not to just change the permission for the main folder of your theme.

    Spell out in plain English what it is you want to do and are trying to do. (Not trying to insult you, just want to see how you're trying to go about this.)
