 * Hello [@golded](https://wordpress.org/support/users/golded/)
 * Thanks for reaching out about the file editor tool in the Yoast SEO plugin.
 * I assume you do not see the ‘File Editor’ option on Yoast SEO > Tools page. This
   may mean that file editing is disabled on your WordPress installation. If file
   editing is disabled, please enable file editing, or alternately you can edit 
   the file using FTP.
 * When file editing is disabled, this is due to the following directive being contained
   in your wp-config.php file:
 * `define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );`
 * You can [read more about enabling file editing here](https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/).
