  When I try fix a spelling mistake on our ‘news’ template I get the following error message, ‘Unable to communicate back with the site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using SFTP

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

  Hi there,
  Are you sure that your website is hosted with WordPress.com?
  It sounds like your website is using the open source WordPress software from(WordPress.org). :)
  To avoid confusion about WordPress.com vs WordPress.org please know the differences from here https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  However, you can find solution at the support forum here https://wordpress.org/search/unable-to-communicate-back-with-site-to-check-for-fatal-errors/

  For general discussion about open source software, you can find community advice here https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ where you’ll find more experts who are using the same software as you to provide help.

  Hope this helps.
  Thank you.
