How to Remove or Replace Theme and Plugin Editors in WordPress

WordPress by default allows you to make changes to your pre-installed plugins and other theme files. Though it’s a worthy option, it can land you in problems if you make small mistakes while editing the code.

Moreover with the options that you find in WordPress admin panel, you can give the admin access to all your users but restrict them from editing the code part.

In order to disable the Theme and Plugin Editor for your WordPress blog, you must access the wp-config.php file. You can edit the code related to theme and plugins directly by accessing the files present in theme package.

Though it comes handy for pro developers, but in case of novice users it can turn dangerous.

To prevent your website from getting screwed by all your potential clients, it’s a better option to disable the theme editor and plugin editor.
