 * Hello!
    Hope y’all are having a GREAT day. ANY guiding advice will be MOST gratefully
   accepted. My friend has a WP site (Genesis/Fabric Child) she paid a pro to build,
   but is no longer available for assistance, so I’m trying to make some minor changes
   to her site just to help her out. I want to change a sentence each on two pages,
   but I cannot locate where the text is coming from. Searching the dashboard pages
   manually, using the search bar embedded in her site, or even in cpanel file manager(
   search all files) NEVER turns up any sign of the keywords. Granted, I do not 
   understand how WP works, but if words are displaying on live webpages, don’t 
   they have to be in the code somewhere??? Would one of you nice people tell me
   how to find where content is hiding in a WP site? *THANK YOU* for ANY assistance
   or hints. REALLY!

 * The best place for questions about the Genesis theme is in their support forum
   at StudioPress, since this is a premium theme. If the text isn’t in her page 
   or post content, it’s likely built into the theme, so you’ll need to edit the
   correct theme file to remove/change this text.

 * Thank you so much for that information. Since posting, I have learned about no-
   longer-supported plug-ins and how they can create orphans… I finally was able
   to find the text I needed thru phpMyAdmin. Thank you to this forum just for BEING
   THERE in support. Thanks lauriemrauch!
