 * Hi,
    I am getting this message at the top of my wordpress dashboard on three 
   websites that I have installed your theme on”
 * Your theme needs to be fixed for plugins to work. To fix your theme, use the 
   Theme Editor to insert <?php wp_head(); ?> just before the </head> line of your
   theme’s header.php file.
 * When I click on THEME EDITOR to do this I get an error message:
    “You do not 
   have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
 * Can you please assist?
 * Victoria

 * Hi Victoria,
    What version of the theme are you using? And do you also have the
   latest version of wordpress? I don’t recommend using the theme editor.

 * Hi,
    I have WordPress 4.1. The Virtue Theme is 2.3.7 I am only trying to follow
   the instructions on my dashboard that tell me to do this. Here is the exact message:
   Your theme needs to be fixed for plugins to work. To fix your theme, use the 
   Theme Editor to insert <?php wp_head(); ?> just before the </head> line of your
   theme’s header.php file.
 * Thanks,

 * Hey,
    The theme has `<?php wp_head(); ?>` right before the the `</head>`
 * Who is telling you it doesn’t? It’s there already. Also your server would be 
   determining permission and it seems your login doesn’t have editing permissions.

 * Here’s a screen shot.I installed Virtue on 3 wordpress sites and this same message
   appears at the top of the dashboard on all 3 sites.

 * That is created by some plugin you have installed and lets just say the virtue
   theme has outsmarted it. Because its wrong and you can ignore.
 * You can also deactivate your plugins till it goes away then post to the plugin
   author that is’t wrong.
