    Yo,

    I am getting really into customizing my theme (creatico) and need to start getting into editing the appearance of items outside of being able to be controlled within the dash board. Basically, if I inspect elements of my live site, I see all of this html and css. Its easily editable there but I can’t find any place to view the same code elsewhere… Everything seems to be in PHP. I’ve looked at these PHP files in the dashboards editor but all of the html is nowhere to be found. I can tell the PHP occasionally calls for other code but where is it? Currently I use Custom CSS Manager to edit some of the CSS, but this doesn’t let me make changes to specific columns (for example) that have global settings. I need to be able to give certain divs, p, etc their own specific classes or whatever. Where can I do this?

    Thanks a ton,
    Rob

    You will find all your css in style.css file.

    You will not find any html in any of the files as is all coded in php. when page is clicked php goes to work and create a page in html on the server and deliver to browser.

    Yes, that’s how WP (and other php-based sites) work – the HTML you see in your browser is generated when the page is loaded. So there isn’t HTML to edit in the same way static sites have. The code can be called from a number of places – so it depends on what you are trying to change – and that’s often theme-specific.

    With CSS you can often use the existing code but increase the specificity of the CSS selectors.

    If you DO need to modify the theme templates/code, you’ll need to ask the developer of your theme about it as we don’t have access to commercial themes.
