How to edit HTML files of my site.

  • Hi there,

    I’m wanting to remove some code from the HTML of my site (eweedery.com). Specifically the “click here to log in” message that appears at the bottom of posts. I’ve used Firebug to find what needs to be removed but within WP Editor I only find PHP files. I’m sure I just don’t understand the some basic concept here, but how do I find and edit the HTML of my site? I guess I’m looking specifically for the HTML file that decides what goes at the bottom of a post.

    Thanks for any help

    The PHP files of you theme are what generate the HTML.

    You can typically edit them via Appearance -> Editor in your blog’s Dashboard.

    Thanks James,

    So what PHP file generates the HTML for a blog post page? As mentioned above I’m looking to remove the ‘Click here to log-in message’ from the bottom of the page. I’m using the contango theme.

    For post it’s single.php, for page is page.php. Also check Anatomy of a theme for basic info about theme’s structure.

    Once you’re in the PHP files, start searching for familiar text as landmarks. For example, if “Click here to log-in” is what you want to change, look for “Click here to log-in”. ??
