Comment on How To Really Enable The WPMU Theme Editor by John

Hmm, I’m running MU 2.8.4 and it seems that wp_die line in theme-editor.php has been pre-removed.

This is what mine looks like:
require_once(’admin.php’);

$title = __(”Edit Themes”);
$parent_file = ‘themes.php’;

Any ideas?

Thanks, Andrea.

Actually I hadn’t thought of direct linking to the editor once it was allowed. This probably is the best thing.

If MU gets installed even as a ‘private community’, and ‘Allow New Registrations’ is accidentally enabled, then ownage could be immanent.

I have been known to accidentally set my own stuff up incorrectly at times 8-p.

I just do the second part, because I don’t want it showing up on the menu. Yes, sometimes I DO do this. It depends.

The edit will get overwritten on upgrade though.

I’m thinking some sort of code change occurred around version 2.7, because I don’t remember having this problem on older versions of MU that I have used. I don’t have a lot of MU sites to admin, but I recall theme editor working.

It seems a better approach would be a tick spot to turn the editor on in the back end, and then give grave warnings upon doing so.

Thanks for the post.

I think we all (ahem) stretch the intended use of WPMU. I’m glad you found the post useful.

Perfect!

I’m using WPMU to manage a bunch of blogs of which I am the author, a use the authors didn’t foresee.

I had found the second half, the bit to turn off the die in theme-editor.php, but was finding it annoying to have have to remember to bookmark to that page. With your post, I have my menu back.

Thanks.

Very insightful. It amazes me how people can abandon all common sense when online and expect the government or someone else to protect their interest. All the scam sites that are coming under government scrutiny have disclaimers that spell out what the person is going to have happen to them.

Why they don’t read the fine print I will never understand.
