After some research, I think it’s because I’m trying to overwrite a non-template file. In other words, “file.php” isn’t a WordPress template file, so it doesn’t get looked at as a file that get’s overwritten.

Is there a way to make every file in a theme be overwritable, even if it isn’t a template file? Maybe a function I can add in functions.php?

Has anyone had any experience with this?

Bump!

Nope. Just updated to Version 2.6.3.

This is the code I downloaded from my server.
(options-reading.php)

<?php
require_once('admin.php');

$title = __('Reading Settings');
$parent_file = 'options-general.php';

include('admin-header.php');
?>

<div class="wrap">
<h2><?php _e('Reading Settings') ?></h2>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="options.php">
<?php wp_nonce_field('update-options') ?>

Looks like it’s in there. Why is Yahoo blocking it?
