To make WP templates writable

How do I make WP theme files writable in wp-admin ?

 

You can do that by using a FTP program.

 

Thanks, I now. But what cmod?

 

CHMOD that to 775

 

Thanks, but 775 didnt work.

 

It works for sure. Try 777.

 

What ftp software are you using?

 

I use ws_ftp

 

CHMOD 777 is the right way to make files writable. NOT 775.

 

yea 777 or 755 not 775

 

Actually, 755 is the standard CHMOD of folders. The only way to get a folder or file writeable by the Wordpress backend is to CHMOD to 777.

 

Yes, right. I was wrong.

 

this is what I did -
open up your FTP Program and load your site (log in) and simply right click on the "wp_content" folder say for example and go "properties" and then check 'write' or 'writable' or just change the CHMOD to 777 FROM THERE.

hope this helps!

 

Thanks. One thing though. I cant leave it at 777 after I have done my work. Actually I need to cmod to something that can stay.

 

Better not, it might be hacked. CHMOD it to 755.
