How to get to the theme editor

Support
#1

Hi,
I’m a Pro user and since this evening these messages appeared in my wp admin panel:

Error : Please fix your theme to make plugins work correctly: Go to the Theme Editor and insert <?php wp_head(); ?> just before the line of your theme’s header.php file.
Error : Please fix your theme to make plugins work correctly: Go to the Theme Editor and insert <?php wp_footer(); ?> as the first line of your theme’s footer.php file.

The instruction in simple but the problem is I can’t get to the editori wich seems to be absent.
I’m using the child theme.

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! These error messages came from a plugin that only checks the wp-header.php file and not the templating system in the theme. You can ignore this error message because wp_head() is present in the theme.

The editor can be found in Appearance > Editor. If this is absent, it could be that file editing is not allowed in your WP installation.

Hope this explains it briefly.

Thank you @RueNel for the kind reply. I understand the errors are something I shouldn’t be concerned of. What about the file editing though? There isn’t an “editor” voice under my “Appereance” menu so I supposed it’s not allowed by my hosting service, as you supposed; could it be a problem?

Hey MrDave,

No it isn’t a problem. If you have access to ftp, you can always log in to your ftp and edit the theme files by downloading/uploading the files.

Please check out these threads regarding your editor:


Hope this helps.
