I have a WordPress site and I am using the Hestia theme. There is a file named editor-style.css in my theme directory. I don't know what exactly it is.
Can anyone tell me? Or a link to another website for more details?
It allows you to edit the style of the back end, post editor page. Usually not required, but useful if creating a blog with many authors.
I'm using wordpress 4.9.6 version it's not showing page template option. I reinstalled wordpress and using default themes and plugins. I don't know the exact reason for this. Please help me out of this. Tell me the reason why it occurs.
Your theme must have template file. The default WordPress themes does not have that by default.
You need to create a new .php file, name it whatever and add this following code in the top:
<?php
/**
* Template Name: your template name
*
*/
One of the easiest way to create a Template, is as follows:
Creating the Template file:
Open up your preferred Text Editor. I would recommend Notepad++ for its 'best of both worlds' feel. It offers a greater range of tools than 'Notepad' whilst not being too overwhelming.
Next, you will need to enter the following code:
<?php
// Template Name: Name of Template.
?>
Then head to File > Save as ... and enter your desired file name. Then within the 'Save as type' dropdown menu, select 'PHP Hypertext Preprocessor file'. This file type will be appended with a series of file extensions, within a set of brackets.
Go ahead and select 'Save'.
Of course, don't forget to enter your relevant Template coding and save as you go along.
Upload to website:
With your Template file completed, you will now be ready to upload this to your website. One of the easiest way to do this, is as follows:
Download FileZilla. If you are unsure of which version to download, stick with 'Download FileZilla Client'.
Once downloaded and installed, open the program. Then login, with your site's credentials. If you are unsure of these, you will need to seek assistance from your hosting provider.
By now, you should see a screen like:
The above image has a lot of blank spaces. If you are logged in, these blank spaces will be populated with various folder and file names etc. Referring to the above image, take take of the contents within the red box. This text bar may be populated. Just enter '/httpdocs/wp-content/themes'. Alternatively, you can scroll through the Folders manually.
All you then need to do, is identify the relevant Theme and drag over the desired template file and drop it into the relevant theme's folder.
When it comes to WordPress themes, you may first want to familiarise yourself with Child Themes. Simply put, if you are not the Theme Author, you will need to create a Child Theme. If you modify the Parent theme, any file modifications will be lost. Whilst this wouldn't be the case, in this instance, you may wish to take this opportunity in understanding Child Themes and implementing said themes now, in preparation for future modifications.
The solution in my case was to add index.php file in theme's root folder.
It appears that adding my theme into Git repository (with Git Desktop) and selecting default .gitignore file of Wordpress incorrectly ignores the index.php file inside theme's root folder, so the file was never uploaded to the server after deploy and WordPress does not recognize the theme as valid one - hence the missing drop-down with template selection.
I want to do something that is not offered in the basic theme options and would like to edit some backend code. Can someone tell me if this is possible to do via the online editor or if I need to create a local environment?
Here is the current menu showing articles on the site:
Current Dropdown Menu Image
What I am trying to do:
As you can see right now the menu is only displaying the title of the article. My goal is to display in excerpt from the article. This function is available for blog post on other parts of the site and I would like to make it available in the menu location.
Here is a list of the files I am able to edit online via Wordpress:
Available Wordpress Files Image
Is what I need to edit on this list? I know once I find where I need to be working I can figure this out. Since I am totally clueless about wordpress I don't know where to start.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
You can access the backend files. Here is an overview of what the different files are responsible for:

Hey so it is actually very easy to edit the theme files and view them through a plugin called Wp-Editor.
Just install it, activate it and go to Appearance > Theme Editor and then you will see your existing files in your theme.
I know wordpress store the page content inside the database. If I wanna to add content and some programming content into the page, how do I do it? Other than going to wordpress dashboard > page > all pages, is there any way to access the page file so that I can directly write the codes to it?
You can use you webhost's file manager, or your own FTP client to modify the files that wordpress is made of. Though I recommend against this; if you want to do work beyond just editing the appearance, you should design your site from scratch. If appearances are all, search for a tutorial on making wordpress themes, then apply your shiny new theme.
You'll use page.php or page-template.php file under wp-content/themes/yourthemeName/
That way you will change the file template....
i'm wondering if it's possible to add a php file in your themes folder (wp-content/themes/classic) where the css file is, then link afterwards? Because i'm currently trying to add a register.php into my blog but i still need the header and everything else.
Yes. For example, if you want something like www.yourdomain.com/test follow this steps:
In your theme folder create a php file called page-test.php.
From your dashboard publish a page with the title Test(with no content at all).
Now, when you'll go to www.yourdomain.com/test you will se your page. And in page-test.php you can use all Wordpress functions such as get_header(), get_sidebar() etc.
Yes. What you want is to define a new "page" template, and then to create a new page in your wordpress using that template. Here's the WP documentation on that topic: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates
Alternatively, you don't have to place it in your theme folder; you can put it in the root wordpress folder and have it function outside of wordpress. Then you can change your theme to have a static link to that page, or link to it in some other manner. It would be more difficult to use the header/footer/sidebar template features, though.
