Wordpress Fix: Sorry that file cannot be edited

I had a problem with a few blogs giving me this error when I try to edit themes from within the wordpress theme editor
"Sorry, that file cannot be edited"

Anyway, here's the fix I found.

edited "theme-editor.php" at line ~173 and ~191
this line part of generating theme files list and adding bad link to each. So i add string with part of url was missing.

Code:

<li><a href="theme-editor.php?file=<?php echo "/xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content".$template_file; ?>&theme=<?php echo urlencode($theme) ?>&dir=theme"><?php echo $filedesc ?></a></li>

for finding what URL part you missing, just use "Update" button in editor, then look at adress bar and diff with theme file link in sidebar.

Steeeeve - hi.

LOL!!! Good wordpress help from you, man!
Thanks! :winkwink:

When I get that error it is usually a permissions problem (chmod).

never had this error myself, but then again i never use the built in editor that often

i had this error. thanks
