 * 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/](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.
