 * I have a site that uses the Site Origin Page Builder. GoDaddy is the host. I 
   need to dig into and edit the html of a page.
 * I am able to view but not edit the code through Chrome Developers Tools.
 * Is there another way I can access and edit the code? GoDaddy says I can’t get
   to the code from their website. That seems strange but that’s what they said.
   Perhaps it’s WP xode, so it doesn’t sit on their website.
 * I just read that I can access the core HTML by using FTP to get into the GoDaddy
   site. I hope that’s true.
 * Thank you

 * Hello engine44,
 * Most of the HTML part is managed from WordPress Admin Panel, so you might need
   to edit the code files.
 * Even though if you wish to edit the code file it can be done via the FTP/cPanel
   access that you can get only from Hosting provider i.e. Godaddy in your case.
 * If the files are within the WordPress Theme, you can edit them from WordPress
   Admin Dashboard.
 * Left Panel > Appearance >> Editor
 * Hope this information helps.
 * Thanks,
    Kartik

 * What do you want to do? There are certain best practices involved with certain
   tasks.

 * Here’s something you should read. This is the place to make most changes to WordPress.
   [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/)
 * This little plugin makes it super easy to create those Child Themes which you
   can then edit to create the functions and enhance your design.
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-generator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-generator/)
 * Child themes are not affected by updates to the parent theme.
 * Don’t edit the core WordPress files! It can be done but the next update may remove
   your changes.
 * On GoDaddy, you can make changes to any file via the hosting Control Panel’s 
   File manager. There is an editor right there.
 * Optionally you might use an FTP client. There is usually documentation available
   for any good FTP client to work with GoDaddy.
 * You will probably break something sooner or later. Good, current backups are 
   a must. I use Updraft Plus for that. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/)
