In reply to: Can't edit widgets or main pageIf you build a theme, you’d just copy the files into wp-content/themes/thattheme
I assume that those sidebar links come from widgets. Look under appearance->widgets.
Thank you sterndata. I’ll be back with the outcome.

In reply to: Can't edit widgets or main pageIf you don’t know PHP, is this really something you should be doing?
I have edited PHP for another CMS application.
If my client decided on another theme and I design it on my website what will it take to transfer the files and do an overwrite of his WordPress theme?
Thanks for your help.

In reply to: Can't edit widgets or main pageIf I wanted to create a totally new WordPress website for my client, how should I go about doing it since he already has his old WordPress website up. It’s also an older version of WordPress.

In reply to: Can't edit widgets or main pageThanks for your responses.
Assuming you’re using Windows, Notepad or Notepad++ wil work.
Since I am using a Mac I will use Textwrangler. I have no problem opening the index.html in a browser from TextWrangler. However, I can’t seem to open the index.php from wp-admin/index.php in a browser. Any suggestions?
Look at wp-content/themes/yourthemenamehere/style.css in your editor (whichever you use).
Interesting!!! I this where the index.php is for me to edit? If so, I would like to be able to view this index.php file in a browser to make sure it’s the one. I don’t know much about php and am wondering how I go about changing things.
In addition to the Child Theme, I went into the Theme’s Directory and did NOT see a whiteinc-child directory. So I am guessing there is not Child Theme. Does this sound correct?
Thank you.

In reply to: Can't edit widgets or main pageI downloaded the entire ftp files to my hard drive.
How do I find the files from my theme?
If I don’t edit using Dreamweaver what should I use?This is getting complicated. I have a lot of experience using another CMS tool that is supposed to be more difficult. I am finding WordPress difficult. 🙂
I guess I am back to square one.
I did look at the CSS files for the website through Firebug. I found several CSS files. I did NOT see anything stating “template” in the code. Perhaps it’s not a child theme? I will look again.
I really appreciate your help. 🙂

In reply to: Can't edit widgets or main pageThank you sterndata.
I did find some information on the theme support section. It states in order to change the main page I have to update the index.php page within dreamweaver. Should I download the entire wordpress ftp files or just some of them? I suppose I can just download the one index.php file, make a back up, change the current one and update it again.
Here is the directions I found.
To configure how many posts are shown on the custom homepage and from which categories, goto [Appearance -> Theme Options]
To directly modify the custom homepage/static frontpage layout, you will need to edit a filed called [myhome.php]. This is found in the theme’s root folder.
We recommend you use Dreamweaver.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't edit widgets or main pageHi contentiskey,
Yes that’s the theme. However, I’m not sure that is the same company my client purchased the theme from. I have to double check.Am I correct in saying that unless the wordpress theme was developed under a “child theme” there are certain changes I CAN’T make?
Is there a way to find out if it’s a child theme or not?
Thanks for your help.
