A coding question

I am NOT well versed in coding, but I think the person who did my site hard coded the excerpt on my home page. When I changed the page it was excerpted from it didn't change on the hp.

Is this a complicated fix? In your opinion is it something a beginner can do?

Where do I go to switch it so I can edit the hp?

thx :-)

  • Would have to look at what your old coded did to even begin to tell you what to change

  • well first thing I would do is go into your phpMyAdmin and a search for the phrase that is being displayed. If it shows up that means the info is in your database, and most likely you can remove it through wordpress. If it doesn't show up that means its likely hard coded into the template file, in which case you gotta find the template file and remove it... using SSH and grep this could be done fairly quickly (On shared hosting this likely isn't an option - so just look through your template .php files).
