Can I specify which files the appearance>editor can edit

  • Is there a way to change which filetypes can be edited for appearance>editor? I can see in the sources theres an $allowed_files variable but.. wondering if anyones every done it?

    Specifically: I am using *.tpl and *.scss for a theme I don’t want users to be able to edit the complied css/html just the pre-processed files. I’m using a bootstrapper to parse SASS/SCSS and templates then minifying etc.

    Thanks

  • Sure you can:

    a) you can include a Child Theme and if you’re using basic setup, users won’t see anything else other than what’s in the Child Theme.

    b) roll management and/or user privileges if they’re not admin/moderator .etc they will not be able to edit/see what you don’t want them to see ??

    Thanks,

    Thanks Emil, I’m more interested in specifying the file types rather than changing directory structures or messing with the user permissions.

    For instance; there has to be a file somewhere in wordpress which says that the theme>editor can edit “.php” and “.css” as there are a load of other files in a theme which don’t show up. What I’m interested in is:
    can these be changed to other file extensions and if so what would be the hooks/actions etc to use?

    Thanks very much indeed ??

    You’re not changing the permission and/or directories, simply don’t give them permission to editor and problem solved. This can be done from your (admin) end.

    No need to overcomplicate simple things, WordPress is well-capable of handling this ??

    Ah yes but can WordPress be configured to edit files with .scss and .tpl extensions and definitely not edit .css and .php files?

    Thanks very much Emil.

    Via https://sass-lang.com ? yes it can ??

    Hey Emil,
    Yeah, I’ve been using SASS for a while, but the editor in WordPress Admin>Appearance>Editor can NOT edit SASS files.
    That’s the problem.
    Thanks
