Firefox, Firebug, and HTML

  • Hello,

    It seems that most developers working in WordPress rely heavily on Firefox and the Firefox extension, Firebug. Firebug is great for finding out how and where HTML is being styled. But what about the HTML? How can I find the location of the HTML that Firebug is reading? Firebug allows the editing of HTML, but I would like to know the file that contains the HTML so that I can add an additional div or span for formatting purposes.

    I have the feeling that i am not understanding something fundamental about WP.

  • All of the HTML in WordPress is located in the PHP files: index.php, header.php, footer.php, etc etc.

    Be careful when editing these and I’d advise making a child theme first or if you really don’t want to do that, download a back up of your current theme before touching anything.

    I hope this helped some
    Thanks
    Megan
