WordPress WP-Config and Functions?

1 Views

Working on a friend’s site – that had no Editor or Plugin control in the WordPress CMS. I go to WP-Config and change:

define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );

Read More

define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true );

both to false which works fine.

Then I look in Functions.php (in the theme) and see at the top:

define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );

define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true );

Does this actually work? It doesn’t seem to have any effect.

  1. In PHP, define() is used to define a constant. Constants are so named because they cannot be redefined by subsequent define() calls using the same identifier.

    So those definitions in functions.php are just (probably silently) ignored. Maybe they show up in a log file somewhere, though.
