 * Just wanted to share in case it helps anyone. I was having a problem where some
   php code fragments were displaying in place of the post header and related posts
   sections, on the front end (user side) of every post on my site. Finally figured
   out it was due to a setting in the plugin Real Simple Security- I had activated
   the “Disable the built-in file editors” feature under_ Settings > Hardening_.
   Apparently that sets DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT to true, causing the problem. As soon
   as I deactivated that setting, everything went back to normal.
