 * I wanted to make a tweak to my theme’s header.php file and noticed the “Editor”
   option, in the appearance menu, is missing. Has the theme editor been removed
   in WordPress 4.1?
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Peace…

 * Well, I got my problem resolved. I installed “NinjaFirewall” and that had an 
   option to block theme editing. So, it removed the theme editor link. Once I changed
   that setting, the theme editor link reappeared and now I can access the theme
   files, like before.
 * Peace…
