Hello, I have a wordpress woocommerce store and have vendors who add products the add a product pages. Using Chrome inspect elements I can make a few simple text and html changes. Simple stuff <h2> tags and title text however for the life of I can't figure out where the save the changes in my wordpress pages. If I open the correct php page, I only get php codes I can't read. I do understand html and css but that is it.

Can someone advice me on how to find the actually html titles to change or a plug in or editor I can use.

Thank you
Kimberly

    Why don't you use the editor in the WordPress dashboard?

      You mean under appearance > editor ?

      Because I still can't find the correct page with the html on it to change.

        Look under

        Posts->All Posts
        or
        Pager->All Pages

        If you don't see the correct post, you should be able to use the search box on that page, to find the product.

    But that isn't what I want to change. I want to change the /post-new.php?post_type=product but the post-new.php had no title html in it to change.

      Visual Editor is the default post editor for WordPress, so there is no need for you to add any codes. You are good to go from the start. But if you want to make the HTML editor as the default post editor in WordPress, then open your theme's functions.php file and paste the following code:
      view sourceprint?

      add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "html";') );

    The page/post title is stored in the WordPress database, you cannot change it for a page/post except in the dashboard WordPress editor as I explained in my previous post.

    Anybody who tells you to edit php files to change a title has absolutely no idea how WordPress works and shouldn't be giving advice about it.

      I think it`s better to develope website on localhost first and to upload it when all works are done

        While it's tue, it has nothing to do with the question asked by the OP. Just like your other similar unrelated posts, which have been deleted...
