 * I no longer see my plugin and theme editor after changes to WP security plugin…
   problem is that i can seem to figure which changes affected this and i dont want
   to disable the WP security plugin all together cuz someone keeps trying to hack
   my website…thanks to your software all attempts thus far have been thwarted.
 * pls help in restoring the editor tabs
 * i checked the wp-config.php file for any DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT entry but didnt see
   any.. thanks in advance

 * Hi,
 * Go to “Filesystem Security” > “PHP File Editing” and turn off the “Disable Ability
   To Edit PHP Files” feature. If it doesn’t help, probably some other plugin you
   have installed is causing your trouble.
 * Cheers,
    Česlav

 * I’m sorry, but I don’t know Adminize. Maybe try to contact its author?
 * Anyway, I’m marking the thread as resolved.
