    Hi guys so I downloaded a wordpress plugin to show soccer league results on my site.. thing is I want to modify the plugin like some of the titles in the plugin and maybe a few of the PNG’s.. anyways I cant find a style.css I looked in the admin.css and all other files and cannot find any of the code I “Inspected” in google chrome.. I am a bit of a noob so can someone help?… I thought editing a plugin would be similar up to a certain extent as editing a wordpress theme where one file like a “style.css” would be where I could find most of the code I need to edit.. looked through the whole plugin and cannot find the file or code, help pls 🙁

    The correct way to do this will require knowledge of the plugin so I would recommend posting on that plugin’s support.
    Find the plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/
    Then press on the “Support” tab directly beneath the plugin banner image and scroll all the way down until you find the form to create a new post.

    I do this – very cautiously – using the file manager in my host control panel.

    A problem with changing the plugin files is that your changes will be erased when the plugin updates – so it’s best that you find the correct way of making those modifications.
