Hello Admin, I am Sajid Biswas from https://www.technosajid.in/ . I have attached an ssl, please remove self signed ssl. Because after doing this, I am unable to edit theme from wordpress-

Works for me, have you tried purging your local cache or if your using Cloudflare the cache on there as that might fix it. If this doesn’t work try waiting 24 hours or so for the SSL to sync with caches and clients and try again.

Browsers (notably Google Chrome) tend to cache old certificates for a while. When uploading a certificate through the control panel, it’s applied almost immediately, so that’s not the problem.

Try opening your website in private browser mode, that’s usually a good way to circumvent cache.

@Admin I have tried every possible thing but still I am unable to edit my theme through wordpress theme editor. It showing the following error-

Thank you for including the actual error message, it explains a lot.

I suspect this issue is caused by the bot protection system preventing WordPress from opening pages. This system cannot be disabled, so you may need to do what the error message says and edit the theme files through FTP.

We have a (rather aggressive) security system which prevents most bots from accessing your site (and hack it, spam it, etc.). Only regular web browsers and systems which behave like web browsers can access your website.

I’m not sure exactly how WordPress’ template checking works, but the error message applies that it tries to open your website to see if there are any errors. It’s possible that the security system is preventing WordPress from doing so.

If that’s true, then I’m afraid you can’t solve this issue, and you’ll have to edit and upload your theme files manually.

Can’t edit main theme php files after upgrading to 4.9 | WordPress.org

Just noticed in your pic your running 4.9.1 have you tried upgrading wordpress to 4.9.2. If you installed via Softaculous i suggest updating it there as well as the wordpress update function didn’t work very well.

@Admin i had never thought of using incognito mode before to purge cache because i just realised it doesn’t store the data! Nice one!

@SajidBiswas now this maybe a serious issue, I noticed that some other people have same problem but some of them claiming to resolve the issue by deactivating some plugins. So, first try to do without plugins, if didn’t help then this probably the issue mentioned by @Admin .
