    Hi jahrakael,

    The correct wp-config.php entry added by the iTSec plugin looks like below:

    // BEGIN iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line
// iThemes Security Config Details: 2
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true ); // Disable File Editor - Security > Settings > WordPress Tweaks > File Editor
// END iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line

    Make sure your wp-config.php entry looks identical.

    Also next time don’t manually edit the wp-config.php file. Instead simply navigate to Security > Settings > Advanced > WordPress Tweaks and untick the Disable File Editor checkbox. Finally click on the Save button.

    +++++ To prevent any confusion, I’m not iThemes +++++

    In case you only have the line below in the wp-config.php file (without any iThemes Security comment lines):

    define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );

    It means the line was probably added manually. If that is the case your issue is totally unrelated to the iTSec plugin and you should mark this topic as ‘Resolved’. Next open a new topic in the Fixing WordPress forum.
