For those using the beta QuickAds client, it is a hit or miss proposition in many cases. If Scribefire can make edits to your website, the whole experience is completely seamless. You just click “add site” and you can easily start dragging and dropping ads onto your page. There is no delay, and everything is happening in real time.

On the other boat though, is those whom Scribefire can’t make edits. If you get asked to copy and paste code after the </body> tag, this would be you. In this case, your experience is significantly worse. Dragging and dropping ads gets delayed by up to 15 minutes. You have to go into your file manager and speficially edit a file. It is even hard to figure out exactly which file and where to make the edit.

Well, this post is for all those in that second boat. In order to jump ships (and become one of those who are using the easy Scribefire), all you have to do in your wordpress install is to change the permissioning of a single file. If you go into your file manager, and edit the permission of the footer.php file of your theme (which can be found in wp-content/themes/yourtheme/footer.php). The permission can be set to 777 then you can join the masses in having a pleasureable experience. If you change all the files permissions, in the future, you can edit your themes directly from wordpress!
