 * I can’t see “Editor” anymore in my Theme and Plugins. Also, the changes I made
   on some of my Plugins are disappeared.
 * I tried disabling the flag in Security – Settings – Disable File Editor, but 
   it changed nothing.
 * I tried disabling the plugin itself (iThemes security) and it changed nothing.
 * I tried logging out and in again. Nothing.
 * What the hell happened? I really need to edit my plugins.

 * I also tried replacing my database with the backup I made just before the installation
   of iThemes security. Nothing.

    I had to delete this line from my wp-config.php: define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’,
   true);
