I upgraded to WordPress 3.8 and looking around I opened
“Apearance --> Customize”
and then hit
“Close”
without making any changes.
Now my website is down and I can’t access wp-admin. When I try either I get;
{“success”:“-1”,“alert”:“Cannot write style-custom.css file, you may try setting the style-custom.css file permission to 755 or 777 to solved this. ( If file does not exists, you have to create it yourself )”}
I found that I have four themes listed in;
/var/www/wp-content/themes
- bluediamond-v 1_05 (This is the only one that has the “style-custom.css” file
- twentyfourteen
- twentythirteen
- twentytwelve
I changed the existing “style-custom.css” file permissions to 755. I still can’t access wp-admin or the website - I continue to get the same alert.
Any help is very much appreciated
