  The appearance editor setting for my website is disabled, and when I tried to edit the code directly, through typing in the URL, I was blocked. I need to change the function.php file so I can keep Google indexing for my content.

  Tried editing the file through http://kineticcondition.com/wp-admin/theme-editor.php and was blocked from doing this. I paid for my website, and don’t appreciate random settings being disabled for no reason.

  The error message I was given was: Our server sentries tell us you should probably not be here. Maybe you are lost?

  If you are sure this is the place you are trying to go, please contact us and we will be happy to help.

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

  Hi there,

  To ensure the security and performance of all sites hosted at WordPress.com, WordPress.com theme files cannot be edited. You can find more information about editing themes at WordPress.com if you’re curious about that.

  WordPress.com automatically notifies search engines like Google any time you update a post or page on your site, so you don’t need to worry about making changes to get your site indexed there. If you’d like more information about how Google sees your site, you’re welcome to set up Google’s Webmaster Tools on your site.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
