 * hello
 * i have a problem with changing the text of home title.
 * I know its easy to go and change it inside wp-include/post_template.php
 * but the problem that if i want to change permission in ftp to 777 it gives me(
   permission denied) so i call the hosting company to solve that but they told 
   me “We Cannot, we are sorry plz read the limitations).. 🙂
 * Besides, i checked the appearance editor file by file and did not find anything
   related.
 * My website is [http://salfit.info](http://salfit.info)
 * you can see that all the site in arabic (or mostly) except (Home).
 * i follow a post her talking about index.php with codes inside appearance but 
   unfortunately i did not find the code the writer talked about
 * my index file code
 * > <?php
   >  /** * The main template file. * * This is the most generic template 
   > file in a WordPress theme * and one of the two required files for a theme (
   > the other being style.css). * It is used to display a page when nothing more
   > specific matches a query. * E.g., it puts together the home page when no home.
   > php file exists. * Learn more: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)**

   > get_header(); ?>
   >  <div id=”primary” class=”content-area”>
   >  <div id=”content” class=”site-content”
   > role=”main”>
   >  <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
   >  <?php // thebox_content_nav( ‘nav-above’ ); ?>
   >  <?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
   >  <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?
   > >
   >  <?php
   >  /* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content. * If 
   > you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file * called content-
   > ___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead. */
   > get_template_part( ‘content’, get_post_format() ); ?>
   >  <?php endwhile; ?>
   >  <?php thebox_content_nav( ‘nav-below’ ); ?>
   >  <?php else : ?>
   >  <?php get_template_part( ‘no-results’, ‘index’ ); ?>
   >  <?php endif; ?>

 * You are looking in the wrong files. The styling for your website is written in
   a language called CSS. You need to look in the styles.css file to find what you
   need to change.
 * Read about “Inspect Element” this will help you find the code you need to change.
 * I found the code you need to change the font size of the site title.
 * I see you have JetPack installed. Goto Appearance->Edit CSS. If you don’t see
   Edit CSS, then goto JetPack setting and activate Custom CSS.
    Put the following
   code into the end of the file and click Save.
 *     ```
       h1.site-title {
          font-size:4em;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you for the answer but i did not ask about changing the font of the site
   title.
 * Let me explain again:
 * If you look at my website you will find the Pages. One of the is “Home”
 * what i want is to change the word into arabic so i asked where can i find this
   word and change without using FTP.

 * Okay, all you wanted to change site-title.
    There are two ways – 1. Through Settings(
   wordpress way): login to your dashboard. In settings > General, you will find
   site title just above Tagline.
 * 2. Through hard coding: I assume that your site title is in header.php of your
   website. (Note: this procedure is not come under wordpress best practices, and
   I am not liable for any problem/loss whatsoever).
    * Download header.php which
   resides in public_html/wp-content/themes/yourthemename/header.php on your desktop
   using FTP. *Open any plain text editor, just like notepad, textmate, gedit depending
   your operating system, and find this line of code
 *     ```
       <hgroup>
       	<h1 class="site-title"><a rel="home" title="مدينة سلفيت" href="http://salfit.info/">مدينة سلفيت</a></h1>
       	<span class="site-description">موقع تجريبي &ndash; مدينة سلفيت</span>
       </hgroup>
       ```
   
 * * Delete entire code better anchor tag and edit your site name there. Save and
   upload it back to your server using FTP.
 * Remember, If you need to change site title in future, you have to go through 
   the same process.

 * sorry but again there is misunderstanding
 * im not talking about site title.
 * i`m talking about the Home icon beside pages which i can find it in page_template.
   php but the problem i cannot use ftp because of hosting limitations.
 * the question is
 * how can i change the Home to arabic without using ftp. i mean from the dashboard?

 * First, you need to stop messing in wp-includes, and start working in your theme
   directory’s file.
 * Second, if you want to change your home title from text to image. Then, you need
   to work with CSS. it is not exact code, but, a lot like hint.
 *     ```
       h1.site-title {
       	display: block;
       	width: Xpx; // width of your logo
       	height: Xpx; // height of your logo
       }
       h1.site-title a {
       	text-indent: -9999px; //
       	width: Xpx; // width of your logo
       	height: Xpx; // height of your logo
       }
       ```
   
 * Otherwise, me and [@stacyduval](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stacyduval/)
   explained that well.

 * To change the name of menu items go to Appearance->Menus
 * Open up the menu item under Menu Structure by clicking on the arrow on the right
   of the menu item box.
 * Change the text in the input box that says Navigation Label.
 * Hopefully this what you are asking!
 * Cheers, Stacy
