Disable file editing in WordPress admin<\/h1>\n

Do you want to disable theme and plugin editors in WordPress? Our snippet not only disables theme and plugin editors, but it also disables the ability to delete plugins.<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

In this guide, we show how you can disable file editing in WordPress admin by adding a line to your wp-config.php file. If you have used the 1-click installer, file edit is disabled by default.<\/p>\n

When file editing is enabled, Administrator users can edit the code of themes and plugins directly from the WordPress dashboard. This is a potential security risk because not everyone has the skills to write code, and if a hacker breaks in, they would have access to all your data. That’s why we recommend disabling it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log into the\u00a0control panel<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Open\u00a0File Manager\u00a0<\/strong>and click on Public html<\/li>\n
  3. Locate the file\u00a0wp-config.php<\/em>\u00a0and check the box to select it.<\/li>\n
  4. Click\u00a0Edit<\/strong>\u00a0in the menu bar at the top of your screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All you have to do is add this code to your wp-config.php file on your WordPress install.<\/p>\n
