 * Hi, I installed your plugin and everything is great so far except that when I
   am in the WordPress backend and I go to Appearance – Editor the Editor option
   is now gone so I cannot access the CSS file of the child theme. What setting 
   in your plugin is causing this so I can turn it off. Thanks

 * Hi Mark,
 * Go to Filesystem Security > PHP File Editing and turn off the “Disable Ability
   To Edit PHP Files” feature. Despite what the name and description says, this 
   feature disables the back-end files editor altogether.
 * Cheers,
    Česlav
