Many people have had issues with their appearance editor disappearing. If this has happened to you, please follow these steps:
- Fire up your favorite ftp client and connect to your WordPress site.
- Navigate to wp-config.php which will be in your web site root www folder by default.
- Search for the following line of code:
define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true);
and change it to:
define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, false); - Save and re upload the wp-config.php file.
- Now Editor should be back in your Appearance menu. If not refresh the page.
