How to Edit The Theme?

    I have downloaded Firebug and can see the html and css for an item I inspect. However, I’m confused about what particular files I am meant to edit. I can’t find any files containing the html Firebug is showing me, but know where to find the CSS.

    Thanks

    To the best of my understanding, Firebug is showing you the rendered HTML for the page you are inspecting an element on, you will have to sort out which template file from the theme you need to edit.

    Try this link to help guide you to the correct template file: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

    Fortunately the CSS elements are shown from which file and what line they appear on.

    Trouble is if I do a search for the html code within all the files it can’t be found! I use Dreamweaver 4 at the moment, although hoping to upgrade.

    The HTML code may be generated by PHP functions; it could possibly not look exactly like what you are seeing in the Firebug display panel.

    Perhaps someone could suggest possible common WordPress functions if you provided a small sample of the HTML you are looking for.
