I have a link in wordpress website. However, I cannot find the link to edit. I try to find it in pages and in template. I tried to edit a page but the page is empty. So where does wordpress placed my link? Is it in database or somewhere?
Thanks
Homepage template can be index.php, home.php or front-page.php located in your theme's folder.
Find out which page is being loaded as your homepage in Settings -> Reading under Front page displays.
All the content in WordPress should also be accessible from within your Admin Panel. You have to find that out yourself. Only people who have access to the Admin Panel knows about that. Ask the person who was responsible for this if you must.

I've just installed WordPress and I want to work on the theme. So I need to have an under construction page. I made an under.html file and addressed it in the .htaccess file as a default page.
But when I want to go to mydomain.com/index.php to see the WordPress main page and work on the theme, It redirects to mydomain.com again and shows me that under.html.
Any solution to have both under.html as the default page and the wordpress first page at the same time?
If you want to show an under construction page, you can simply use a plugin.

Hope this will work for you.
my website using wordpress template and I want to edit the homepage but I can't find the source file of the homepage...i go to chrome - view source but can't find the index.php that has the source code of the homepage
how to find the file of the source code of the homepage
its depending on the file used by author. by the way, most of the themes have, home.php
front-page.php
index.php
otherwise, we can create a custom page in wp-admin and assign it as home page or front page to a wordpress, that will be configured on the settings page.
Go through it.
Start here https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development to learn how WordPress themes are designed and coded.
I have this problem, when i try to get the home page of my wordpress installation, wordpress displays the readme page. The other page are all workings, also wp-admin. I checked database, checked correct URL in wp-option, checked wp-config.php, checked the .htaccess file. I also disabled plugins and changed theme. I don't know what to do again to solve this situation. i updated to 4.0.1 version.
Inside Wordpress administration go to:
Settings -> Reading -> "Front page displays" -> "A static page" ->and choose the page you want to see there, in your case, something related with Home (Some pages are added by the Theme, so you should have the required theme activated).
Sorry if this question is too basic (It would be great if someone could recommend me on a good resource/tutorial for starting up with wordpress development)
I am new to wordpress development. And I work on a Mac.
I downloaded MAMP, installed wordpress, and installed a custom theme which I bought online.
So far, I've been using the wordpress wp-admin interface to customize the theme.
I created a new Page called "myPage". I'm interested in making some design changes to myPage but the wp-admin tool is limited and I realized I have to start looking/modifying the code.
I'm using Netbeans, and created a new project of my local wordpress folder which contains the wp-admin, wp-content, wp-include folders.
However, I am not sure where in the code to find the page I created "myPage", in order to modify it.
I ran a search on all the code but I don't find any mention of it.
I guess my custom page is saved elsewhere? in the database?
Thanks!
Drill down through wp-content > themes > to your theme's folder. Inside there you will find a file called page.php. That is your default page template. To double check this is the page being used, in your wordpress backend, edit the page and on the right hand side in the 'page attributes' panel, you will see a dropdown under 'Template'. You're purchased theme may have many templates, so that is how you can tell which one is being used.
Note: Creating a page inside of the wordpress backend does not actually create a new page file for that page.
Hope this helps.
Yea, you can find your page in DB, check out link for more info.
To access your database, you need to go to url http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ if everything is set right; or your local IP/phpMyAdmin/ if host alias is not set.

If you are looking for file, you should look in wpfolder/wp-content/themes/some-theme/ and now ether page.php or content-page.php I am not sure.
I just set up a wp theme featuring a front-page.php.
When I point my browser to http://mydomain.com/ the front-page.php is loaded. That's ok.
But... which URL will now trigger the index.php template?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

index.php is the main file for the theme. It contains the code for the Main Area (below header & above footer) and will specify where the other files will be included.
Your site may be loading front-page.php because you may have set static page in your settings to be shown as home page.
Acording to wordpress official doc:
index.php
The main template. If your Theme provides its own templates, index.php must be present.
front-page.php
The front page template, it is only used if you use a static front page.
home.php
The home page template, which is the front page by default. If you use a static front page this is the template for the page with the latest posts.
