 * I want to edit WooCommerce’s individual product page PHP file. However, I can’t
   find WooCommerce’s PHP file. Where on Earth do I find it? It is *not* under Editor
   with all the other PHP files. Do I use the WordPress dashboard interface, or 
   do I have to go through my Bluehost dashboard?
 * My website is trialofthecentury.net.
 * I know a little bit about all this stuff, but I’m still a total amateur—if your
   explanation is technical, please try and dumb it down for me.

 * WooCommerce works with Child Themes; copy the template and paste it into your
   Child theme directory. Then you can edit it there. Do this through FTP.

 * Thanks—but I have absolutely no idea how to do that!
 * Can you give me a play-by-play?

 * No…no it doesn’t.
 * I’m not trying to be rude here; I know you’re trying to help. I just don’t know
   what “FTP access” is, nor do I know how to access “wp-content/themes/canvas/.”
   It’s all total Greek to me.

 * There is a learning curve; just have to jump in and try it.
 * This is a walk through on how to use FTP: [http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)
 * The link posted by Andrew is everything you need to know about making a child
   theme of Canvas. Then you add the Woocommerce files you want to modify to the
   child theme. See [http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/](http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/)

 * Use the Google. You can learn a lot that way about almost everything, especially
   regarding web development.

 * Okay, I’ve been learning a little FTP. Tricky but not as hard as I figured it
   would be.
 * Isn’t there an easier way to do this? If I install the plugin via the WordPress
   dashboard, can’t I access the CSS stuff through the .php files by way of the “
   Editor” tool?

 * Once you upload a child theme, then yes, you can edit its stylesheet through 
   the editor. Just select that theme and then its stylesheet.
 * You shouldn’t run into too many problems this way if you are only editing CSS.
   Editing PHP files can be a lot more problematic.
