    Hello. I host my wordpress site at own hosting with a purchased domain name.
    I downloaded the new clean wordpress 4.1 and I want to change a piece of code but there is no EDITOR bottom under appearance menu as it was in previous versions.

    I cannot set user rights to network administrator either. There are only 4 options under user menu: author, administration, subscriber, contributor. On the right top corner the only option I see is to edit profile of current administrator.

    I haven’t install any new themes or plugins yet so it is an issue of WordPress itself. What do I do to fix it?

    Since I cannot delete the question, I will answer it.

    ISSUE SOLVED: BACKEND EDITOR ENABLED,
    to solve the problem: disappeared editor in appearance menu.

    You do like this:

    1. Open the file at your server:
    wp-confg.php

    2. Search for: (‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, TRUE)
    change parameter from true to false.
    (‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, FALSE)
    refresh you window with WordPress and you will see Editor under Appearance.

    Tech info:
    /**
    * Allow editing of theme or plugin files:
    * TRUE = Don’t allow editing: removes editor link in admin.
    * FALSE = Allow editing: shows editor link in admin.
    * It’s nice to allow editors and admins to be able to view theme or plugin files,
    * but not edit them:
    * To do this, allow the editor link: (‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, TRUE)
    * but give the files the permissions 444 —
    * then admin users can explore the files, but can’t change them.
    * HOWEVER, if you upgrade or upload any changes,
    * you will have to change permissions back to 644!

    I just started WordPress with the free site and have the same problem, however I am a newbie to web editing and don’t understand your solution! Can you walk me through how to solve getting the editor in the menu?
    Thanks!
