Style.CSS permissions does not allow editing

  • Hi All – I am trying to edit the CSS Code to change some things on my website (www.ratsassenterprises.com). At:

    Dashboard > Appearance > Editor > Styles (on right) > Stylesheet (style.css)

    I have changed the permissions via FileZilla to 777. I have also double checked this by accessing the style.css permissions through File Manager in CPanel.

    Still, the permission to edit is not granted. It does not show the long list of code that my website is made up of. Below is a cut and past of all that is shown on my style sheet. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks
    Ryan

    Also, i’ll share how I accessed the Style.CSS permissions in cPanel and FileZilla.

    Public_HTML > wp-content > themes > responsive (my theme) > style.css > right click > permission > changed to 777.

    Hi Ryan,

    I’ve used the Responsive theme a number of times and love it’s flexibility. One thing before you start jumping into editing something, please convert it to a child theme. The child theme imports the Responsive theme so you will not notice anything, but it will allow for edits and changes. Here’s an easy way to do it:

    Then you can add a little plugin that allows you to do custom css in wordpress if you don’t use an ftp edior. Here’s a pretty good one I’ve had success with before:

    Hope that helps!
