    After installing the plugin on new sites I always turns “Disable ability to edit PHP files” ON.
    Sometimes I temporarily switch it OFF and it has never been a problem.

    Recently I start to got this message on several sites when turning it OFF:
    The DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT constant has already been defined, please remove it before enabling this feature.
    The constant is likely already defined in your wp-config.php file.

    I have verified this on several sites running on different hosts with different themes.

    Please advice. Thanks in advance.

    Hi @viche,

    AIOS > File security > File protection tab can you see the warning as below image ? Please cross check your wp-config.php file.

    The DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT constant has already been defined, please remove it before enabling this feature.
    The constant is likely already defined in your wp-config.php file.

    Do you have any another security plugin installed? It might be DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT being added.

    AIOS adds below code to wp-config.php

    //Disable File Edits
    if (!defined('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT')) { define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true); }

    Yes, it looks like your image. No other security plugin installed. need to check wp-config.

    Hi! I apologize. I was wrong. It was the Patchstack plugin that was the cause. In their cloud settings there was the setting. However, it was designed with such language that I missed it. Of course my fault.
