Disable Editing in WP-ADMIN

I am also a big fan of this, too often we’re seeing wp-admin credentials compromised and by allowing someone to edit within your admin panel you give the attack full access to all your files. The easiest way to avoid this is to disable the editor via your wp-config file:

#Disable Plugin / Theme Editor
Define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’,true);
