 * Well, I find it. If it helps anybody. In 4.9 WP version, the wordpress file editor
   is disabled in wp-config, for security. You can allow in there.

 * Hello,
    I’m having problems editing a child theme, within the editor. It keeps
   giving the “head-up”, even though it is a child theme, and correctly set up as
   such. I’m not techie, so could you please tell me, how to edit the wp-config 
   file thanks. At the moment I’m running an older WP, which allows me to edit in
   the main editor. I do not want to use the Additional CSS

 * Hi.
    To edit wp-config you must downloaded it using FTP, change it in an editor
   and upload again. It’s placed in the root of the web, html directory. Just add
   this code:
 * define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true);
 * I hope I have understand you … it helps?

 * Okay you’re using a Child Theme. The next step, if you’re still interested, would
   be to check whether the issue persists on a default Twenty Sixteen theme (if 
   you created a Child Theme).
 * We cannot debug commercial themes.
