Can’t edit child theme files

There’s something wrong with my child theme.

Already using WP 3.3, Buddypress 1.5.2, with the deafault theme and I’ve just created the child theme at /wpcontent/themes/bpdusk/ with the style.css where there are minor changes and working.

Now I added the header.php at same folder need to change title tag and returns “Sorry, that file cannot be edited.”

I’m missing something and don’t know what, any help?

The same had happen with previous version of WP and Buddypress.

Yes, this is a known issue and ticket has been filed at WP trac. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744

If it’s an issue with ticket and all, what’s the alternative to have a working child theme?

I saw the ticket it was last updated 5 months ago and mentions old versions of buddypress.

Is it possible that everyone is working without child theme? How do they manage when updates pop up like on the last days: WP 3.2.1 to 3.3 and BP 1.5 to 1.5.2

I really need some direction because I have the changes to BP default theme waiting to be done.

PLEASE????

You either use an FTP program like FireFTP or Filezilla and/or use your server’s cPanel/FileManager/etc. The first one’s better because you have backup copy of your theme files in the your computer’s hard drive.
