• I would like to edit some of the theme files but I am not sure where to look. After installing my theme, it says all of the files are located in /themes/themename. Do I get there through my host or through WordPress?

  • you need to go through your server to upload files, you can edit the files through the wordpress admin

    appearance > editor

    did you ever figure this out? i don’t understand the extention address either.

    Me either. I do not understand the extension address to access theme files. Every which way I add it to the url it goes to error… not found.

    you don’t do anything with the url.

    The extension/path you are referring to is for accessing the files by ftp. (a program such as filezilla)

    it goes like this

    wordpress->wp-content->themes->your theme

    wordpress=whatever folder you have wordpress installed in, you may not have a folder if you installed WP in root

    next, go to the wp-content folder

    then to the themes folder

    then to your theme folder, named whatever theme you have installed.

    This is for accessing files by ftp. You can also edit the files on your computer by unzipping the theme and editing then uploading

    Or, the easiest way, once the theme is installed, from you dashboard go to Appearance->editor

    when you click on the editor, all your theme files are on the right

    OK. Neat. I will find filezilla. Thank you!
