Theme Editor Missing

Hello, we need to add code to the wordpress site and not sure if this can be done with brenda.

We need to add code to the header of all post pages and we noticed theme editor is missing.

Is it possible that defender blocks theme editor?

    Hey John,

    Hope you are having a good day :slight_smile:

    The problem you are facing is a security measure taken by the Defender plugin to restrict direct editing on Theme & Plugin editor, hence it is disabled.

    You can Revert the changes by going to :

    Defender Pro > Security Tweaks > Resolved > Select “Disable the file editor ” Tab & Click Revert

    [attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

    This should Enable Theme & Plugin Editor.

    If you need any assistance regarding this feel free to reach back to us.

    Kind Regards,
    Satwik

    Hi Stephen ,

    Please do note that this ticket is over 3 years old, so would highly recommend you open a new ticket or chat with us, so that we could advise further if needed.

    In general, you should find the settings under Defender Pro > Recommendations > Actioned tab :
    [attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

    Or you can go check the wp-config.php file and manually remove the line the following line:
    define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );

    For any further assistance or any queries regarding the above would highly recommend opening a new ticket with us.
