  • Hey Karlajw,

    I’d try testing for a plugin conflict. Deactivate all other plugins and see if that helps. If t does, then you can reactivate them one at a time until you find the culprit(s), if any.

    Thanks,

    I have the same problem, with no other plugins activated.

    And on another site it’s the other way around, the editor is gone and I can’t get it to appear again.

    Hi,

    Could you try switching to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Fourteen and see if that helps?

    Thanks,

    Gerroald

    Hello,

    it might be a bit late to answer, but since I found myself running into the same problem, here is something you should check:

    verify in the wp-config.php that the line
    define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true);

    is either commented out or set to false

    It’s never too late … so your update is much appreciated.

    As of the next release improvements have been made in the area of writing to the .htaccess and wp-config.php files. Enabling the WordPress Tweaks “Disable File Editor” setting will then add the following lines:

    // BEGIN iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line
    // iThemes Security Config Details: 2
    define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true ); // Disable File Editor - Security > Settings > WordPress Tweaks > File Editor
    // END iThemes Security - Do not modify or remove this line

    at the beginning of the wp-config.php file.
