# Coding Confusion

 * Hi
 * I am really confused about coding.
 * I understand I can edit the .php files to customize my page, although I have 
   recently learned it is better to edit a child theme in case of mistakes or updates
   etc.
 * The problem I am having is shown in the example below:
 * I am wanting to remove the clickable links in my posts titles. So I find the 
   code to change online which is:
 * </h2>.’
 * and I am told this is in my single.php file.
 * The problem is, this line of code is nowhere in the single.php file.
 * All that is in that file is:
 * <?php
    /** * The Template for displaying all single posts * * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/)
   WordPress * @subpackage Twenty_Fourteen * [@since](https://wordpress.org/support/users/since/)
   Twenty Fourteen 1.0 */
 * get_header(); ?>
 *  <div id=”primary” class=”content-area”>
    <div id=”content” class=”site-content”
   role=”main”> <?php // Start the Loop. while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
 *  /*
    * Include the post format-specific template for the content. If you want
   to * use this in a child theme, then include a file called called content-___.
   php * (where ___ is the post format) and that will be used instead. */ get_template_part(‘
   content’, get_post_format() );
 *  // Previous/next post navigation.
    twentyfourteen_post_nav();
 *  // If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment
   template.
    if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) { comments_template();}
   endwhile; ?> </div><!– #content –> </div><!– #primary –>
 * <?php
    get_sidebar( ‘content’ ); get_sidebar(); get_footer();
 * Am I looking in the wrong place. There has been a few instances where I am wanting
   to change something and am told to edit a line of code which just isn’t in the
   file they say?
 * Help?
