So I’ve been halfheartedly trying to setup a new Wordpress installation for a client that I subcontract for and I kept running into permissions errors when trying to update the Wordpress installation and plugins from inside Wordpress.

I generally just upload a customized folder set that has the same themes I use on all installations and the basic plugins I setup for all of my clients.  I thought that somehow, Filezilla might have done something strange while uploading this folder set.

Figuring that since it was a new site and it would take more time to track this crap down then it was worth, I just re-uploaded a fresh Wordpress installation (keeping the old wp-config.php to save time).

I’ve been working on my first html template to Wordpress theme conversion and every thing was going great (aside from having millions of tabs open trying to figure out how to best use the template tags), until I started working on a theme options page in functions.php.

Originally this was working ok, and then after one save BAM!  The damn thing crashed on me.  So I opened Dreamweaver back up again and it was working just fine, until again, I opened the functions.php file and it crashed.
