Hi there, great theme!

When trying to save changes to Bigfeature general theme settings I get this error:

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /var/www/vhosts/behindthemonkey.com.au/httpdocs/home/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/functions/options.php on line 1203

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vhosts/behindthemonkey.com.au/httpdocs/home/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/functions/options.php:1203) in /var/www/vhosts/behindthemonkey.com.au/httpdocs/home/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/functions/options.php on line 598

Also when I go into General settings for the Theme, the pages constantly refreshers itself, I use the stop button to stop it but yeah bit weird! :P

I am not really up to date on all this, I understand a few basic WP things but these sort of errors just throw me. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Mon

it's because you have enabled the "Cache the settings stylesheet" theme settings, and this functionality tries to make the library/css folder writable to be able to write a file there. Some serveres don't allow this so you have to manually make that folder writable (use f.ex filezilla and set it 755 or 777 if that's not enough).

Hi Thanks for that, i had to change my files to 777 in order to be able to enable the "cashe the settings stylesheet", and get it to save without the error, can I change them back to 775 now its saved or does that defeat the purpose?

But I still get the BigFeature settings general, page, constantly refreshing..

775 should be enough in the first place though, since the owner got write permission, but servers are configured differently. just test it and see.

I still have to have the CSS file at 777 otherwise it will not save and I get the original error message.

Do you know the fix for the page constantly refreshing itself? It is getting extremely frustrating!

don't know what's causing the refreshing. I have never heard about this problem. Email me a temporary admin user so I can take a look at it (use the contact form here (in the sidebar)).

Monkey, do you have any redirection plugins installed?

Hi Chuck, I have a redirection from http://domainname.com to http://domainname.com.au and I am editing it on the .com.au directory, but that's through my hosts plesk panel not a WP plugin. . . . The only other plugins are ones recommended in the set up instructions. Thanks!

Is having my CSS folder 777 a major security hole? It would not save on anything less.

Also, no matter what I do any changes in the "colours" settings tab on the theme settings does not alter my site!!

I uninstalled the theme, re downloaded from TForrest and then reinstalled theme, thinking it might help / start fresh, but my old settings are still there, then i reset the settings using the button at the bottom and that reset them, but it still hasnt help as any colour changes still dont reflect on my site!! Such a simple thing now so difficult :(

The constant refreshing seems to have stopped! Still having problems with the colours not changing through the theme settings though. :P

did you remove the import statement like I told you here?

Yes, I believe so. . . If you meant did I remove the code that i added to the style.css file, then yes, I deleted everything and re uploaded from your original files.

looking at your website I can't see any problems, the caching stylesheet is working and the colors are set from the theme settings.

^A screenshop from my theme settings (with colours for links and nav bar)

yes if you look at the site (http://behindthemonkey.com.au/home) the nav bar colours and link colours are not the same.

then it's the caching, the optionstyles.css file in library/css does not get updated when you save the theme settings. did you set another file rights on the css folder? you can delete the file and see if it gets created.

and turn off the "Cache the settings stylesheet" theme setting and see that it changes to what you got. it's a performance advantage to use caching, but you have to get it working first. and it might be better to have it turned off while you are customizing the theme.

Hi! Yes simple I disabled the cache the settings stylesheet and it worked!

But then, oh no, the whole thing buggered up! I had my Filezilla open but I'm sure I didn't mess with anything, and now my site is buggered! check out the http://behindthemonkey.com.au/home . Can you please help with whats gone wrong? Hopefully I just accidentally deleted something that can be replaced! :( OH dear.

Thanks very much for your help I really really appreciate it.
