 * I seem to be missing the Plugins -> Editor admin screen. I only see Plugins -
   > Installed Plugins. I am the admin so am I missing other options because my 
   Multisite dashboard isn’t set up correctly?

 * Hey there!
 * It sounds like you are looking at the plugin menu on the main site in the network(
   or a subsite). In order to see the “editor” menu, you will have to navigate to
   the Network Admin dashboard (Hover over “My Sites” and then click on Network 
   Admin)
 * Or just go here directly: YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-admin/network/plugin-editor.php
 * Hope this helps!

 * To put it another way, per-site admins cannot edit plugins or themes. Only the
   network admin, when logged in to the network admin panels, can do that.

 * I AM the admin and I am choosing Network Admin I just don’t see any edit plugin
   option from the plugins option on the network admin dashboard

 * Just shows me Installed Plugins and Add New.

 * Is the editor disabled in your wp-config.php file?

 * I can’t see any line relating to the plugin editor, perhaps I need to ENABLE 
   it? What the code syntax for that?

 * No, it’s enabled by default.
 * What plugins are network active? What theme is your MAIN site using?

 * Main site == where was WP originally installed? 🙂
 * Okay, if you’re using TwentyTwelve there then you hgave to do a scary thing 🙁
 * rename the plugins folder to plugins-off

 * Nope – that just disables all my plugins and still fails to give me a plugin 
   editor menu option.
 * I have swapped around the theme for patbell.co.uk but it was originally on twentytwelve
   and is now back there.
 * I don’t see how renaming my plugins folder can do anything but disable all my
   plugins – must I reinstall them all?

 * I renamed the folder back to plugins and then, having got my plugins back albeit
   deactivated… had to reactivate all my used plugins. I now have a editor option!
 * Thanks Mika (Ipstenu)

 * So one of your plugins magically broke it. Which is why we suggest doing that.
   I know it sucks, but it’s sometimes the only way to kick things 🙁
