Most of the options remain the same, they have just been moved around a bit…this tutorial was written for 1.6 and you are presumably using 1.7. If you have specific questions let me know and I’ll do my best to help out :)

Hi, trying to follow the instructions for the title tags and homepage meta information but it does not seem to match up to what I see in the options. I am probably just confused again but it looks as though things might have changed – would appreciate being pointed in the right direction with how to optimise the basic thesis seo, thanks, matt

Hi. I think I have worked it out – it’s because the thesis I bought came with a ready made skin in a custom file

In Dreamhosts’s FTP scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list and choose CHMOD. Then change the permissions there.

Hope that helps!

Ugh. I’m using the FTP client recommended by Dreamhost. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to change permissions, even after searching through the help forum. Any thoughts?

TIA.

John, you are correct. Layout.css

There is no layout.php to change permissions in the Custom folder. I don’t see that file, did you mean layout.css?
