Making Wordpress version 2.8 Template Writable and Editable
My second step after I finished upgrading the old wordpress version to the new version 2.8 is making the template writable and editable. You can read the article how i upgrade my wordpress here. The purpose is to put some adsense code on the template and make small change to appearance of the layout.
The problem is I can find an update button when I finished the template before I can make it writable and editable the template. There is only lookup button below the editing box and it direct me to the wordpress.org page, where the instruction is given. But again there a lot of instruction on the wordpress is hard to understand for me. But finally I found out the trick.
It’s really simple step to do. All I have to do is change the files permissions and make them writable and editable. Here is what I did,
First I log in to my control panel on my web hosting and open
public.HTML -> wp-content -> themes -> classic
“Classic” is the template folder that I used before I change it to the new one. Next step is open the template folder where I need to change it. And I select all files inside of the template folder with php and css extension but not the image file since I didn’t want to change the image. Than i change all permission to 666. You can fill the input box with those number.
Now after finished change the permissions I can write some code to change the template a little and add my adsense code in it.
