i put together a Wordpress based website for a friend. (note i said put together not designed so as not to offend the true designers here!) it's a site, not a blog. anyway, i first worked on it by hosting it on a subfolder of space where i have a site hosted. it is basically done and i have to move it to the site where this friend's hosting space is.
easier said than done apparently. when i first worked on with the theme i chose, i edited it a bit with no problem. now that i'm on a different host, i don't seem to have permission to edit the theme and i'm lost when i read the page that tells how i have to change the Codex to make the files rewritable. that page is here:
i didn't have to do any of that before to alter the files. why do i have to do anything now. is there some setting i'm overlooking that would let me simply edit the theme.
in case it matters, here is the basically finished site that i'm trying to move:
here is the mess in progress i'm moving to:
