I have also edited the stylesheet.css to specify the width of the #content-column at 980px, but it has no effect.

As far as I can tell, the instruction to set width at 162px is coming from <inline style sheet #12>, but I don’t know where that is or how to circumvent it.

Thoughts?

The site seems to have come back – The CSS editor within the WordPress dashboard still states:

You need to make this file writable before you can save your changes. See the Codex for more information.

But I fear now that by trying to make said file writable (the very thing I was trying to begin with) I will end up ruining it again forever.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot!

Am trying to restore the theme by overwriting the current directory (‘iFeaturePro’), but some folders refuse to be overwritten. My FTP program keeps repeating the following errors:

550 /httpdocs/wp-content/themes/ifeaturepro/core/actions: Permission denied.

500 Illegal PORT command.

It claims “Upload Failed”, “Cannot create folder actions”, “Cannot create folder thumbs” etc.

Here is a full transcript:

Thank you for all your help so far; I hope we can resolve the issue soon!

I will try to change the permissions, but before I do I think it would be prudent to point out that the files in the theme directory are a mix of the original files (which I ruined) and some newer files (from attempting to re-upload the directory to replace the broken directory).

The permissions for the entire directory are set to 755, which I believe is the default. However, individual files in that directory are set to 644 (also the default, as far as I am aware).

Is your advice to select all of the files and folders (Cmd+A) within the directory and change them to 644? I only ask because this is what I initially did to cause an upset in the site (although at that time I was changing it to 766).
