    Hi,
    This probably sounds like a super stupid question–please pardon me, as I’m a total newbie– but how do I view my website in code or HTML? I mean, how do I even get to the panel or screen, or whatever it’s called, where I can see it in code? I feel absolutely clueless…can’t even find out how to view it, much less write in code!
    Thank you so much!

    Go to appearances on left side of your wordpress dashboard. If you want to edit CSS file, then click on EDIT CSS. Else click on editors… you will found other files with codes to edit.
    Hope your query is resolved.

    >>Go to appearances on left side of your wordpress dashboard. If you want to edit CSS file, then click on EDIT CSS<<

    NEVER EVER EVER (ever!) edit code with Appearances->editor.

    1. If you edit PHP and make mistake,your site goes down.
    2. Any changes you make will be blown away the next time the theme upates.

    If you want/need to edit PHP, create a child theme. If you want to edit CSS, install the plugin “simple custom CSS” and use the “custom CSS” option it creates to add CSS.

    If that’s not doing it for you, please explain what you’re tyring to acomplish.

    but how do I view my website in code or HTML?

    If you’re approaching wordpress with the idea that you type in HTML, you’re misconceiving it. To add/edit a post or page, use POST->NEW or PAGE->NEW from the dashboard and enter content through the editor.

    Or, read from a different angle, view the page source in your browser to see the HTML output of the page: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000746.htm

    Hi there,
    Can you explain clearly. Do you want to edit the theme?
