 * Hi-
 * I’m trying to delete multiple lines of code that have a link to a malicious site(
   the search function works great and I see all the results), but whenever I click
   edit, I just see a blank white box.

 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * Are you seeing any errors in your log file at this point, as it looks like the
   actual editor isn’t being loaded (it’s a JS library)?
 * If you could check that using the steps outlined in the article at [https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors)
   that would be fantastic, also any other errors that may be encountered in the
   code it self should show up in an error log on the server (personally I like 
   using the example info from [https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#Example_wp-config.php_for_Debugging](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#Example_wp-config.php_for_Debugging)
   for this as it creates a file in `/wp-content/debug.log` with all the output)

 * Thanks for your response! I found out what the problem was…me. I wasn’t paying
   attention and was actually clicking a backup file, not a CSS file. When I click
   to edit a CSS file, everything is fine. Thanks again!

 * Sweet, glad to hear you got it sorted out!
 * Out of curiosity, what kind of backup file was it, that might be something I 
   should keep an eye out for an exclude from searches in the future.
