    So I picked up a theme and have created a decent looking website and I’ve been trying to make some adjustments that the standard theme customization doesn’t provide. I’ve successfully edited many lines of code already but can’t locate some others. It has to be in HTML and there are many different files in my cpanel I’m not sure where to look. My question is, is there code anywhere else that attains to my site?

    Yes, the theme has many files that attain to the site. If you want to change in style then you can edit style file and for the functional changes you have to edit other files.

    before making any changes you need to create child theme.
    Why use a Child Theme?

    If you modify a theme directly and it is updated, then your modifications may be lost. By using a child theme you will ensure that your modifications are preserved.
    Using a child theme can speed up development time.
    Using a child theme is a great way to learn about WordPress theme development.
