Editing CSS

    I’m new at WordPress (and web design for that matter), and have a question regarding editing CSS.

    I have a template, but would like to edit the CSS. I know that I need to change the permissions from my cPanel, but am not sure which ones to change. I am pretty sure they need to be 755…but could be wrong about that also.

  • I don’t think you need to set any permission. Just go in your admin control panel, open the editor on left menu and the first file opens up is style.css.

    How do I make it savable though? It says this under the box, “You need to make this file writable before you can save your changes. See the Codex for more information.”

    Thanks for the help,

    In this case you need to give it permissions chmod-777.

    You can do that by going in your hosting provider control panel, open file manager and cheack attributes: reading and writing.

    You can do that using an ftp software as well.

    Here is the link to codex topic.

    I changed the cPanel to 777, though it is still not allowing me to “save.” Are there specific files that I need to make 777?

    Thanks for the help.

    you need to change chmod for style.css from within active template folder.
