Can’t find my HTML code in my index.php after upgrade

  • I just upgraded my WP to 2.8.4 and wanted to change some HTML codes that I inserted into my WP index.php file months ago. It’s just some Social Network buttons, a video, and some text with links. But I can’t find the code ANYWHERE in ANY of my theme’s php or css files in the WP Dashboard > Editor.

    Recommendations?

    Thanks.

    If I download my index.php files from my host via filezilla and open it with notepad then my HTML coding appears. But I don’t know where/how to find it through WP editor.

    It should be in the index.php file but . . . the file you should normally put your html in is header.php. That file is more like the index.php file you are used to. I would take the code you put into the index.php and add it to header.php and see how that works.

    Be advised that if you are using the default theme and upgrade, header.php will be over written so you need to save the default theme as something else.
