  I started today a wordpress site, and I realized that I don’t have the button ‘editor’. How can I get it?
  I want to customize my template, with for instance php code.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com doesn’t include the option to edit the theme files for themes you use on your site here. If you need to customize the PHP used in your theme, you’re better of moving to a self-hosted WordPress site using the free software from WordPress.org. You can also read our page about WordPress.com and WordPress.org to learn more about the differences.

  At WordPress.com, you’re welcome to customize your site using our Custom Design features (custom colors, fonts, and CSS). That’s part of our WordPress.com Premium plan.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
