Best code editors for WordPress?

  • Hi there. I’m a WordPress novice working on familiarizing myself with the program as part of a school project. Please excuse my limited knowledge. ??

    I was wondering–do most of you write code directly into the HTML box provided in WP, or do you use a separate code editor? If so, which code editors do you find work best for WP?

    Thanks!

  • Definitely a seperate code editor if you want to go into the code. Try notepad++ or sublime text, they’re good for basically everything.

    Separate code editor, usually vi in a ssh session. Using the built in editor is WordPress is dangerous because a typo in your PHP can break your WordPress installation.
