I successfully migrated to self hosted wordpress and installed thesis 1.7 since it is the most SEO friendly theme. While I was trying to edit the custom thesis theme file by clicking “custom file editor”
on the dashboard I got an error displaying the following message on my browser:
I was quite upset and I was thinking of going back to blogspot if the problem persist. Fortunately I found the solution to the problem.
The solution is very simple.
1. Connect to ftp server of your website
2. Browse to the location that is displayed on the error message in other word:
*/wp-content/themes/thesis_17/lib/admin/
3. Copy admin.php to hardisk and edit the file with wordpad, notepad or any other editor
4. Comment out the line which is causing the problem that is line number 42. Commenting out a line is simple, just put two forward slashes before the line as shown below:
// if (use_codepress()) add_action('admin_print_footer_scripts', 'codepress_footer_js');
5. Upload the edited file to *wp-content/themes/thesis_17/lib/admin/
After doing the above steps you will not face any problem while using custom file editor. You will only loose syntax highlighting feature and I think that won’t be a big deal. I hope thesis team will come up with a better solution for this.
