WP PHP Permissions Help Please

PROGRAMMING

I recently installed a WP Theme, that also had pre-loaded content in it. I'd like to make some changes, however, the pages I want to change are "invisible" when I click to edit it. There's 9 pages that aren't configurable.

Thing is, those are the exact 9 pages I'd like to change! I'm not much of a programmer, but have a BASIC idea of using FTP to change permissions etc.

Can anyone help please?

Hi,

"the pages I want to change are "invisible" when I click to edit it"

Invisible? You mean you cannot see them listed in Theme Editor page listed
as theme files/pages....?

Or you wanted to say that you cannot edit them through wordpress as
it says,,files are not writable....
for that you need to set your Theme directory to be writable, change the files and
then set the directory back to the normal premissions...again what specific CHMODS
should be there depends on the hosting server settings...

Why you simply not download them to your computer through FTP, edit and upload..?

Let me know if i can help any way in this regards,
Mohsin

Hi Mohsin,

Many thanks for your input. I'll try doing that. What I meant by "invisible", was that when I go to WP Admin, Pages, then try to edit those 9 pages, I get the standard editing interface, however, it's completely blank, hidden! Seems like there was a lot of advanced coding done to make sure that I don't edit those pages!

Could you please give me a brief outline of which EXACT files within my WP Content back-end permissions I should modify? I've already seemed to make the "Share/SocialBookmarkng" to look incorrect.

What's the STANDARD WP Permissions that should be there? I.E. 777? 644? Please explain, your help is much appreciated.

In fact, if I'm really not able to do this, would you be able to configure it for me, for say $50? I guess I'd set you up with a account, and you could reconfigure it all.

End of the day, I love the theme, most of the content, structure etc, but think I could improve it further, if only I could EDIT THOSE PAGES!!!

Thanks Again,
Dwad
