WP Question

i was trying to editor the code of one the pages thru the WP theme editor.
When I saved, I got an blank page. I tried reloading that page but I got the page that you get when you enter a wrong URL on the public side.

The URL is good and it does it for any admin URL.

Why? What can I do?

Thanks

Hmm... when the blank page arrived. I thought i had no permission to write so I put the w-admin folder to 777.

Then I reverse it to 755 and now it works again. Weird. That still doesn't solve why i was not able to save a manual code change.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I would save the hassle and not use the admin code editor. Generally, those suck no matter what system they're used with

so just download the file, editor in local and reupload?

I ususally do just that using WinSCP.

I copy the code from Wordpress editor into Notepad ++ and do the editing there since you can set the language to PHP and actually read the code. I then ctrl a the wordpress admin code and replace it with what I was doing in notepad ++.

I usually use firebug to play with what I want to change and then edit a copy of the template files in notepad++ before uploading. If I need to make more changes, I already have the up to date copy on my computer (and a backup if I mess up)
