    Hi am a bit new to this.

    I am building a website using the WP app in 1and1.

    I have been following a tutorial and have been very pleased with the results however I have reached a sticking point.

    I am trying to edit and under the Appearance tag I am expecting to find an Editor tag but there is none. Version 4.1.1

    Thanks

    Jonno,

    When you say Editor Tag, can you please explain a little more as to what you are meaning by that please?

    Hi and thanks for your help.

    On the dashboard from the button “Appearance” I can access THEMES,CUSTOMIZE, MENUS, BACKGROUND, THEME OPTIONS

    The tutorial I am following shows “Appearance” THEMES, MENUS, THEME OPTIONS, BACKGROUND and EDITOR.

    It is the editor I need as I need to make a couple of minor adjustments to the code

    Cheers

    Yes, you will need to use the editor there. However, if I may have suggest do you have Jetpack installed? If not, I would do so. One of the plugins it uses is Custom CSS where you can add custom CSS coding. The advantage of that is so that when you upgrade your theme, you will not loose your changes. That is providing you are not already using a child theme. If you are using a child theme, then you will be OK! I hope this helps!

    Stop press I have the button now,=:-

    From my host co:-

    Please try again to login to the dashboard and check if you now have the editor. We renamed your wp-config.php to wp-config.php_old and uploaded a new wp-config.php. The reason for this so that we can the insert the code below:

    define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, false);

    On your wp-config.php this option was actually set to True.

    Whatever that means

    This is from your host’s community site:

    When you use Click&Build to set up your WordPress installation, we set configurations and add functionalities to make it easier and safer for you to build your own website.

    This is why we sometimes limit functionality – for example, we disable the theme and plugin editors in WordPress for Safe Mode and Free Mode installations.

    You can read more on this page:

    Enabling the WordPress Theme and Plugin Editor

    Having pointed out that URL, it’s my firmly held opinion that you should only live edit files on a server as an absolute last resort. You’re much better off taking a backup of the file and editing it locally before returning the file to your site.

    You found the link as I was typing ??

    Make sure that you use a child theme to modify your theme – otherwise all of your changes will be lost when the theme is updated – see:

    Hi,
    I have the same problem:
    I’d like to remove a piece of JS from the <head> code, but don’t have EDITOR under APPEARANCE menu.
