Hey! thanks for the quick reply.
I am the owner 😉 the Admin
Do you mean the editor on the Appearance link on the dashboard?
Hi steven, yes exactly that one
Look in your wp-config.php file for this line:
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );
If it’s there, delete it.
Hello Steven
thanks a lot.
I had checked it already as I found the same answer on another thread but I couldn’t find the line on my wp-config.php file
any other possible cause?
thanks a lot in advance for your help
cheers

It could be disabled in your theme’s functions.php, too. Check that file as well.
Hey Steven,
So, I found that line in the wp-config.ph ( I checked again )
however, I am not sure how I should do it. I don’t want to make a mess.
I saw that I cannot just simply remove the line and close the file. it doesn’t get saved.
Do I have to download the file, modify it, and then reload it again?
thanks a lot for your help.
Yes, that’s how you modify wp-config.php
oh! my gosh! thank you so much! I was so scared to touch those files since I didn’t even know what I was doing.
thanks a lot for your help.
cheers!
