 * Good morning,
 * I am banging my head against a wall..
 * I haven’t used WordPress for a few years and I am no expert. I have just created
   a new site it is self hosted on 1&1 I used there 1 click install (free/full version)
   and installed BBpress with a Motif theme.
 * It works well but I want to edit the php of the footer and the width of the page
   etc. I would normally open up the theme editor under appearance but it is not
   there?
 * I have disabled all the plugins and re installed the standard themes again but
   still no option what am I doing wrong?

 * I need help with the same issue. I’m new to wordpress. I started a new site, 
   it’s being hosted by pagely. I installed the Made theme and haven’t done anything
   else. I need to change the copyright info in the footer and other things but 
   there is no theme editor under “appearance”. I’m running 4.1.1.

 * Hi WPyogi,
 * Yes I am logged in as Administrator and Keymaster on BBPress.
 * The site is not networked and I haven’t installed any security plugins.
 * I have built another site from the same hosting 1 click install and it is the
   same so I can only guess they have blacked it from there…
 * I am just trying to get FTP access so I can install WordPress manualy..

   it is the the same no editor under the appearance menu???

 * Me same. Haven’t been in the dashboard of this site for a few weeks, so not sure
   exactly when it went missing. Under ‘appearance’- no ‘editor’
