Scrape nonce check failed. Please try again. – can’t edit php file

  • Hello,

    Someone else developed my website. It seems like they may no longer be in business. I’m learning some of the basics for wordpress so I can edit the pages. I tried disabling all of my wordpress plugins in case one was responsible.

    I went to the wordpress dashboard
    I went to Appearance
    I went to theme editor
    I chose home page template from the theme files on the right hand side – page-home.php
    Add a space or a remark or anything click on update file.

    On the bottom of the page you’ll see Scrape nonce check failed. Please try again. I want to add another section to my home page but if I can’t even add a remark that won’t be an option. I tried manually downloading the php from ftp and reuploading it with a minor change but that doesn’t seem to make the change show up on the website after a refresh or clearing the cache.

  • Why are you trying to change theme files?
    Go to your admin and select Pages. Click on the title of the home page to open it in the editor. Make the changes you want there. Click on Update to show the changes on the front end of your site.

    Thanks – I found out the reason was that my staging server is a subdomain and my theme only can be edited at the root. I can’t edit the theme in the subdomain environment but I updated my original site then copied the editted them to the staging site.
