Sucuri disables Editor

    I have the Sucuri plugin installed on a new website I am developing for my wife. I am running the Theron Lite theme
    In the WordPress Dashboard, under Appearance, the Editor link is missing.
    After some research, I have seen several listings of plugin possibly causing this due to the Plugin and Theme Editor Hardening function.
    I have clicked on Revert Hardening on this block, but nothing seems to happen.

    I even disabled the plugin, but the Editor was still missing.
    Is it necessary to delete the plugin and then re-install it?
    Do you have any recommendations on how to resolve this?

    The reinstallation of the plugin will not help (as you already said) because the hardening for the theme and plugin editor is applied in a file that is not part of the plugin. When you apply that hardening option the plugin writes this [1] in the main WordPress configuration file generally named as “wp-config.php”.

    If the revert button is not working then you will have to remove this code from that file manually opening the file using the file manager provided by your hosting panel, or download the file via FTP, modify it in your computer and upload it again. You must delete the whole line containing this “DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT” which also includes the words “Sucuri Security” followed by the date when the hardening was applied. If you do not see this text nor the date it means that the hardening was applied by a different plugin.

    [1] define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', TRUE); // Sucuri Security: ...
