 * I have installed wp 4.9.1 and EDD 2.8.17.
    With the active plugin I can not edit
   the functions.php file of the theme, an error appears “Unable to communicate 
   back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You
   will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using
   SFTP.”

 * We’ve tracked down the cause of this and fixed it. Please update to the latest
   version of EDD to resolve the issue.
