[Resolved] DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT is defined. You should also disallow PHP execution in GP Hook

[Janine]

Hi.

I keep adding the required rule to my wp-config.php file.

The message goes away.

But it keeps coming back.

This is the fourth time! HELP!

That’s strange – does the code in your wp-config.php file still exist?

You can force the message to stay away with this function: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/disallow-php-execution/#removing-the-admin-message

That can be added using one of these methods: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Hi, Tom.

The code is no longer in my wp-config.php file.

I will try your suggestion and see if that corrects the problem.

Here’s how the code looks in my wp-config.php file after I add your snippet:

// BEGIN iThemes Security – Do not modify or remove this line
// iThemes Security Config Details: 2
define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true ); // Disable File Editor – Security > Settings > WordPress Tweaks > File Editor
define( ‘GENERATE_HOOKS_DISALLOW_PHP’, true );
// END iThemes Security – Do not modify or remove this line

Thanks!

Tom,

But if add that snippet to my functions.php, then I won’t know if the wp-config.php changes again, right?

[Tom]

Try adding the define() statement outside of the iThemes area.

iThemes will likely remove the custom statement if it’s inside their block of code.

Thanks, Tom.

No problem 🙂
