So I am trying to customize my already running website via custom code
for better user experience etc.
I see a lot of people developing for WordPress via the code editor
and I simply can't find any information on how I can access my website
via a code editor and customize it with customer HTML, CSS, and javascript (or react.js)
and of course, PHP if necessary.
Could anyone please help me where I can find that information?
I would be very grateful!
Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I go to CPanel on my host and open File Manager. Scroll down to the public_html folder and the web site below that. Select a PHP file and click Edit. Beware, though, that updating the theme will wipe out any changes when taking this approach.

currently I'm running into this issue, where external links are automatically set to no-follow by WordPress. As of now I wasn't able to detect the source of this behaviour.
The page uses the Classic Editor (v1.6.2) Plugin - however, the problem still occurs without the use of this Plugin.
There are a bunch of other plugins installed but those are not directly involved with the post editin feature of WordPress. Are there any clues which might cause this issue?
If you need any information I can provide.
Which other Plugins are you using?
Are you maybe using RankMath or another SEO Plugin?
These have a setting to make all external links with "rel=nofollow". You would need to deactivate this or add an exceptions for specific domains.
Check the settings.
I need to edit the existing GA code on our WordPress website with a different code and i intend to do the same by using add header/footer script plugin but i don't know if that will replace the present code. I tried to find the same on the server to change via FTP (as with our magento site) but was unsuccessful, can anybody update me on the same please?
You should be able to edit this via the admin itself. If you use as plugin like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/
Otherwise, to edit GA, is not in the files itself, but within the admin. I would look within your admin, there is a lot of resource out there with wordpress integrations. You should almost never need to look in the code to find this. (that's the purpose of wordpress). I couldn't exactly say where yours is, but take a look at all your wordpress plugins/integrations and configurations.
I am looking to restrict access to plugins for a specific user. I still want this user to be able to edit the theme, but it should not be able to modify plugins or update wordpress.
I did a little research and don't think that there's a simple way to allow this, but before I go along the path of finding a plugin to support this feature, I wanted to ask and make sure there wasn't the ability to do this out of the box.
WordPress will only grant permission to edit the theme in the WordPress Admin Panel. While plugins may be able to restrict editing plugins in the same manner, using this feature at all is highly dangerous as all changes are effective immediately on a live server and can be extremely destructive. If the user's account is compromised someone can directly inject malicious code into the files.
Any changes to theme code, or plugin code for that matter, should be done on local copies of files and then uploaded to the server.
In all of my WordPress installations, even my local development environments, I put the following line of code in my wp-config.php file:
define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true)
This disables the editor in the WP Admin Panel.
Does somebody know if there is a plugin for WordPress that can integrate the Box.com cloud service into a page/post? I am looking for a way to show my files from Box.com directly on a page in a sort of file browser.
I know that there are some plugins around that can do it for Dropbox or Google Drive. But I don't want to switch, so it would be nice if I can use my Box.com account.
Has somebody found a similar plugin for Box.com?
Have you looked at leveraging Box Embed or the Box File Picker?
Either of these will give you a small code snippet to embed Box into your site.
Relatively simple question, but I can't find the answer: How can I edit static pages (or posts) with my own editor instead of using WordPress? I'm not asking about the details of how to FTP, but instead where can I actually find the pages I created using WordPress in the WordPress directory?
Thanks.
The content of the pages you create are stored in the mySQL database rather than as static files so you cannot just see them if you look through the directory. The software reads out the data from the db when requested and renders it according to various settings.
As for editing your wordpress pages/entries using an external editor, wordpress supports an XML RPC interface which can be used to communicate with it. For an example of an emacs extension to edit WP articles, check out http://www.tolchz.net/2008/01/06/posting-to-wordpress-with-emacs-webloggerel/. I'm sure many other editors have this facility as well (including, I'm led to believe, Microsoft Word).
Finally, if you want to use the web interface but use your own editor for the textboxes where you edit pages/articles, check out the it's all text plugin for Firefox.
Windows Live Writer is an excellent editor for this purpose. The latest version (2011) surprisingly better than the first, which was already more than I expected for a freebie, and a small project team.
Make sure you avoid all the extra "Live" options and just leave the Writer checked for install. And in WP admin settings, enable XML RPC.
wp generates dynamic pages - that means the pages only exist the moment they are requested. You would first need to "statify" them - simply downlowding would do, but there's also plugins that can do this.. Usually needed for optimizing speed/cache
Looking for "wordpress static pages plugin" might help..
PS: this would do the job of making wp 'static'
