Edits Using Theme Editor in Newtwork Admin Gives Error

  • I create a multisite and I’m the superadmin. I can’t make any changes to the functions file in theme editor in network admin, or the css file, or any file. In the main site, I can’t use the customizer. It just says there is an error when trying to save.

    I have checked and double-checked the config file and htaccess file to make sure they match what’s in the settings. I have deactivated any and all plugins that were network activated. I still am unable to make file changes to the theme files.

    I can create pages and posts and use my Divi design builder just fine.

    File permissions are correct.

    Any thoughts? Is there some settings that I am missing?

    Something interesting:

    I started a new site within the same multisite on a subdomain. And with this new site, I CAN use the customizer. It’s the same theme but new child theme.

    Both child themes and the main theme all have the same file permissions. All three themes are network enabled.

    So the main site (which had been changed into a multi site) and network admin are the ones unable to make file changes.

    I don’t get this.

    Well, I’ve narrowed it down and it’s even weirder.

    I can use the theme editor on other themes. So it’s just the child theme I’m using. I tried removing it and reinstalling, still can’t edit.,

    But I found it I erase all the css, I can save it! So, I started adding each bit of css back, one snippet at a time, and it worked. Intil I got to this snippet:

    .mc4wp-form-fields input[type=email] {
padding-top: 10px!important;
padding-bottom: 10px!important;
width: 80%;
font-size: 17px
}

    It’s the brackets! If I remove the brackets in this snippet, it saves. And I can use the customizer too.

    So – what’s the deal? Trying to research but finding nothing.

    Okay, I guess it has to do with unfiltered html which is set to false automatically for a multisite, and this affects a lot of things. Howev, a superadmin should be able to add in the html that would set this rule off for normal users. But I cannot.
