 * I’ve seen this happen when the theme folder or file permissions are not set correctly.
   And the folder/files have become not writable by the server.

 * I too am missing my editor from my appearance menu. I’m taking a class on creating
   custom wordpress themes and I cannot continue without the ability to edit.

 * What I did is that I uninstalled quick install by hosting company and manually
   installed wordpress via FTP (filezilla). Now I have editor option under appereance.
   I think, before it was blocked by hosting company if we install wordpress with
   their so called quick install/ click n build option. Hope it help u to solve 
   your problem. Happy site building with freedom.

 * Can I add my question to this thread? If so, here goes:
 * I have the same problem. If I implement rangzen59’s solution, what happens to
   my web site? Won’t a whole new install of WordPress just be the default install,
   without all our theme and content?

 * Gary, I don’t think you’re posting in the right thread. You’ll likely get better
   responses if you start a new one about your image issue. This one’s about the
   editor disappearing under Appearance on the admin panel.
 * Good luck,
 * Linda
