Does someone have a solution to the problem?

I am having the same problem with the Permalink Settings. I saved the Permalink Settings and there was no change. When editing a page and I click view page, my home page opens. This is the permalink for one of my pages and it opens the home page, https://www.wallowology.org/?page_id=491. All the other Common Settings in the Permalink Settings yield a 404 Error.

I want to edit an individual page. Here is the code I wish to change:

<div class=”et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2″>
<img id=”fledglings” src=”https://www.wallowology.org/pages/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/20130605_1733-BookPrint-e1419138630566.jpg&#8221; alt=”” class=”et-waypoint et_pb_image et_pb_animation_left” />
</div>

I just want to change the image that opens to a different image file: https://www.wallowology.org/pages/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/20130605_1733-BookPrint-e1419138630566.jpg

Would making a template override the code for the actual page?

I see that this was never resolved. I stumbled upon this post searching for the answer to the same question. I want to edit the code for a page, and have searched and search for where the page files are located. I do not want to edit the theme just a particular page. Using the theme editor or child themes are to general and not helpful for specific changes. I think the ability to edit the page code is reasonable. To do so requires knowing where the page files are saved. Can anyone answer that question?

The site was originally installed in a subfolder.

Thanks, that makes it clear. I can probably work with that by linking between the sites. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks Mark, that clears a few things up. Is the WordPress site/blog, then a separate site, in a sense? Can I access my current pages with WordPress to use the WordPress plugins on those pages?

No apologies necessary. It is often difficult to describe/understand complex things in writing only, and I might not have been perfectly clear. I appreciate you hanging in there and helping.

I removed the index.html file temporarily to see what would happen. The WordPress page did load (index.php). Now I am not sure that is what I want.

I guess I am also confused. I assumed that I could use WordPress in conjunction with the site I had been in the process of building, and use the WordPress Blog and plugin capabilities to enrich the site. However, it seems that the pages I have built will not work through WordPress. Is that so? The pages in /proof/ are what are in the process of being built. When they are ready I will be moving them to the root directory. The opening page is an .html file. Is that what you are asking about a second site? is the site I have been building considered a second site from a WordPress site? To use WordPress will I be starting from scratch and building a separate site from the one that I have already stated?

The General Settings are as follows:
Wordpress address: https://www.wallowology.org/wordpress
Site address: https://www.wallowology.org

I have a temporary index.html file in the public root directory, which shows in the upper left corner for the home page (visit site), but not in the Pages tab. The site is being built in a subfolder: https://www.wallowology.org/proof/, which also does not show in the pages tab. Therefore I cannot do any editing on those pages with the WordPress plugins.

I copied the index.php and .htaccess files to the root directory, and edited the index.php in the root directory as explained. I’m not clear on what this accomplished? I still need to go to the WordPress subfolder to login, and my webpages do not show up in the Control Panel’s Pages tab.

Thanks, again.

Thanks Mark, before I make those changes I have another question. I have existing webpages, which I have been creating before installing WordPress. Will those pages be affected by the WordPress installation? They were written in code in addition to using Dreamweaver. I am hoping I can just add WordPress to my toolbox.
