    I moved my website from local to live and I can no longer edit in my code editor.. I went to Design > Template Manager > Global Template Preferences and entered “/public_html/src/templates/” for Basepath to Template File Directory but I’m still getting the error.  Is there anything else I should check/change?

    Hi nyc,

    Well, this is not cool.

    Your basepath, does it really start with public_html? That may be your FTP root, but often times your real basepath is going to include the user’s root. For example ”/home/username/public_html/”. In fact that same location should be in the Control Panel under Admin->General Configuration for Theme Folder Path.

    Can you check that and let me know if that helps?

    Thanks!
