Themes folder problem.

    So I was just figuring out how to change certain pages to make them writable so I could change the themes in the WordPress dashboard, so I was changing the index.php and the style.css of a theme I made to the code 666 (like it said on one of the wordpress pages to do). But after I did that, I did something really stupid and thought that I should change the themes folder to that code too because I thought that would make it so I could edit the themes.
    After I did that, the themes disappeared and now my website is a blank page and I don’t know how to fix it. Basically, I’ve now tried to delete the themes folder, but an error message comes up in my FTP and says there is “no such file or directory.”
    I know I didn’t explain that well at all, but if anyone knows of something I could try to do that would be really helpful :).
    If you want more information or if you need me to explain it again, I can try that haha.

    Try changing the themes folder back to 0755, if it still exists in your ftp client. If it is gone, download the WordPress package and extract the themes directory from that, then upload just the themes directory to //yoursite.com/wp-content/

    The weird thing is that when I click “get info” to go to change the permissions, it says that the folder doesn’t exist, but then when I go to reupload the themes folder to the wp-content folder, it says the file already exists so I can’t upload it.

    I think I either have some weird FTP problem, or I’m just not doing something right.

    Thanks for responding though :).

    you can always can try another FTP software (I usually use filezila) and if you have a web based manager for your site (like cpanel), with you hosting you can try to change the permissions with that and not the actual ftp client…
