Why my index.php cannot be change?

What “instructions” did you follow and which index.php did you change? Without knowing what you specifically did, we really can’t help.

sorry, i m using a 3 column theme call Xmark 1.0.2, now i can only add adsense at the sidebar widget but i would like to add adsense under the first post of my blog. So i open the index.php file, i replace my adsense code in this space:

<!–ADD YOUR YOUR ADSENSE CODE HERE–>

<!–replace this line with your code–>

<!–END ADSENSE–>

then i save the file. But when i reopen the file that i save just now, it shows: “Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”

Anyone there? Pls. help!

TQ!

Re upload your template’s index page and then try again, this time making sure that all quotes are closed and any brackets are closed. If that doesn’t help check your servers error log for other clues.

i didn’t change it online, infact i change it from the index.php file that i downloaded to my hard disk.

coz i when i first try to change it on my theme editor, it doesn’t work. seems like cannot save changes.

Then the file probably wasn’t write able. Make sure when your reuploading your file that you put it back in the correct template folder for example /wp-content/themes/xmark Then try clearing your browser cache before viewing your blog again.

if it is not writable why there are texts inside the file said:
<!–ADD YOUR YOUR ADSENSE CODE HERE–>

<!–replace this line with your code–>

<!–END ADSENSE–>

?

1. In the online Theme Editor is not writeable because of the file permissions. Don’t sweat with that.
2. Edit the file on your computer in a plain text editor (like Notepad) and upload it via FTP.

ya, i did it that way moshu. but after i edit the file, and i reopen it , the script inside change to “Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”

Then probably you are not pasting the code correctly!
Make sure you delete this whole line:
<!--replace this line with your code-->
and you copy/paste the WHOLE adsense code with the closing js tags and everything.

the original is like this:

</div>

<?php if ($postnum == $showadsense1) {

echo ‘

<div align=”center” class=”cgoogle”>

<!–ADD YOUR YOUR ADSENSE CODE HERE–>

<!–replace this line with your code–>

<!–END ADSENSE–>

</div>

‘;

} ?>

<?php $postnum++; ?>

then i replace it :

</div>

<?php if ($postnum == $showadsense1) {

echo ‘

<div align=”center” class=”cgoogle”>

<script type=”text/javascript”><!–
google_ad_client = “pub-0189344906991676”;
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = “160x90_0ads_al”;
//2007-05-16: edisonlim.com
google_ad_channel = “3439399155”;
google_color_border = “FFFFFF”;
google_color_bg = “FFFFFF”;
google_color_link = “940F04”;
google_color_text = “000000”;
google_color_url = “800040”;
//–>
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”&gt;
</script>

</div>

‘;

} ?>

<?php $postnum++; ?>

then when i reopen the same file, it became:

post_content); ?>

in:

Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.
