This was the code editor before WordPress 4.9. So when in doubt, find a different option. Unassigned variables, things not being set properly can also cause the white screen of death. Don’t be like younger me.Īnd sure, the new version of the editor shows you syntax errors that will take down the site, but it won’t catch everything. I know because I did that when I first started with web development and WordPress. And for people who aren’t familiar with code, that can be a headache. You’ll need to get in via FTP or your host’s file manager and figure out what to undo to resolve the issue. There’s no way you can get back into the code editor to undo that change. So if the site goes down because of a PHP error you just made, good luck trying to get your site back up. The main issue with the editor is that it’s attached to the website itself. And the main issue isn’t really something WordPress can fix. The WordPress editor included in version 4.9 is better than what was there before, but it’s still not perfect and it’s still not really an option for editing PHP. This is the current WordPress code editor for themes and plugins.
