When I try to activate the plugin it freezes. Is there any permission required in Themes or some other directories? Is there any other parameter or permission that may cause the non-functioning of the plugin? Thank you.
]]>Hi, I’m currently helping to manage a WP blog with a custom theme on one which modifies the Control Panel quite a bit.
I can’t seem to locate the option to use the Solid Code theme editor, which I’m not sure is an issue with the current theme they’re using or just plain ignorance on my part. But there’s not much information out there about anyone else encountering this issue I’m having.
Anyway, if my theme isn’t playing nice with the plugin, would there be any other way to access the panel?
]]>For those of us with a large screen, it would be nice if the editor was wider.
Currently the editor is set to be 700px wide. On a Full HD screen (1920×1080), there is almost 500px of empty space between the editor and the list of files.
The width could be set to 100% to fill the area. This works nicely for smaller screens too (anything less than 1200px wide) where 700px is too wide and the editor overlaps the list of files.
For even smaller screens (maybe for those less than 980px wide), it would also be nice if the list of files was positioned below the editor so that the editor can be a little wider.

So I looked at this before and finally spent some time to fix the problem. The issue is caused because the plugin is using the theme’s “template” attribute to determine the theme’s slug or folder name. This attribute actually stores the parent theme’s folder name, and it’s not documented but it looks like it returns the theme’s folder name when there is no parent and that’s the only reason it works for non-child themes.
The correct attribute to use would be the “stylesheet” attribute – it is not in the documentation but it is works. Alternatively, there is a method in the documentation that does the same thing: get_stylesheet(). I believe there are 10 spots to make this change.
To fix the problem, replace every occurrence of $theme->template with $theme->stylesheet or $theme->get_stylesheet() in the sc-theme-editor.php file.
This works for me and now I can edit child themes with your plugin!
Also, it would be nice to update the other topic, “cannot edit child theme files”, to either post how to fix it or link to this topic, or if the plugin is updated with this fixed.

]]>Hi there,
Running 3.4.2, installed on my development site, as soon as I activated I got server error 500. Unable to access the admin screen (because of error 500) so couldn’t deactivate or uninstall – so I first deleted the plugin folder – still no go. Renamed the current theme hoping the default theme would kick in, but it didn’t, still got error 500. Thought it might be .htaccess issue so renamed that but still couldn’t access the site. It’s only a dev sit so I ended up restoring from a backup. I would love to install this plugin as it’s exactly what I need. Any ideas why this might be happening and what I can do to fix? If you like I can install on another 3.4.2 instance so you can see what’s happening.
cheers, Cathryn.

]]>Hi. First of all, I think this is a great and very powerful editor, thanks for developing it and continuing support! I am having an issue with my copy, however. The problem is this: When I try to download a copy of my theme by clicking the “Download Whole Theme (ZIP)” link above the editor, my browser just loads an un-styled page with the error message:
Fatal error: Class ‘ZipArchive’ not found in /home/beckleyf/public_html/wp-content/plugins/solid-code-theme-editor/sc-theme-backup.php on line 20
I am in desperate need of a backup .zip of my theme so that I can install it in an offline version of my site for testing. Any advice that you might be able to give would be much appreciated! I am running SCTE version 1.0.2
Best wishes,
Nathan.

One thing this plugin lacks, the ability to show file tree of the theme. Some themes store CSS files inside a sub dir, and those are not displayed in the main files list.
I had to use another theme which is solid-code-theme-editor to see the files, but sadly that editor lacks the important other features your theme has to offer.
