 * I got “Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Customize_Code_Editor_Control’ not found in /home/
   chennaivasthu/public_html/testvasthu/wp-content/plugins/kirki/controls/php/class-
   kirki-control-code.php on line 23” error message when tried to customize theme.
   I am using [https://wordpress.org/themes/airi/](https://wordpress.org/themes/airi/).
   And my website WordPress Version is 4.7.3.
    So I can’t use your plugin.

 * Hello there [@shanthiraj691](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shanthiraj691/),
   
   The WP_Customize_Code_Editor_Control was introduced in WP 4.9 which was released
   almost 2 years ago. Kirki itself clearly states in it’s plugin page that it requires
   WP 4.9 and above. If you update your WordPress installation everything will work.
   Please note that updating your installation is highly recommended not only for
   Kirki but in general as a security precaution. There have been a lot of security
   updates since the version you’re using – which was released in 2016.
