Description

Currently in WP 3.1* the Theme Editor has been moved to the Network Admin and is removed from all subsites. This feature request is to enable the Theme Editor in a subsite but restrict editing to the currently activated theme.

  • Component changed from General to Multisite
  • Keywords close added

But the changes are global, means each site with the same theme would have the change, also if site 2 doesn't want it. So it's placed in the network admin.

Replying to ocean90:

While true, doesn't necessarily matter. My use case (and described in forum post that gives a workaround hack) has each site with their own theme that only they have access to.

Suggested enhancement: When enabling a theme for use with a site, have the option to allow editing.

In Network Admin > Sites > Themes Tab: When a row is enabled have a second toggle between Allow Editing/Disallow Editing.

This way you can still have 'public' themes that no one can mess up, but 'private' themes can still be edited by a site owner.

It's a security issue to do this. You can't allow non-super admins access to the code.

You can do this with a plugin. Doesn't belong in core though.
