Fear not, intrepid reader! In this article, we\u2019ll examine several methods for viewing HTML code in WordPress.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Previewing_in_HTML_Mode\"><\/span>Method 1: Previewing in HTML Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re composing a post or page in WordPress using the visual editor, the HTML code might not be immediately visible. To view the code, click on the \u201cText\u201d tab above the editor. This will initiate a display showcasing the HTML code for the page you\u2019re amending.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting, however, that WordPress\u2019s visual editor automatically converts the page content to HTML while editing. If you want to see the original code, switch to the \u201cText\u201d mode.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Inspecting_Elements_in_Your_Browser\"><\/span>Method 2: Inspecting Elements in Your Browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another way to access the HTML code for a web page is by using your browser\u2019s \u201cInspect Element\u201d functionality. Simply right-click on the element you want to examine, select \u201cInspect Element,\u201d and your browser will display the corresponding HTML code within its developer tools panel.<\/p>\n<p>From this point, you can navigate through the HTML code and make changes as necessary. Remember, though, that any changes you make will only impact the currently viewed page and not the website\u2019s actual code.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_Use_a_Code_Editor_Plugin\"><\/span>Method 3: Use a Code Editor Plugin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WordPress plugins are available that allow you to view and modify HTML code without accessing the \u201cText\u201d mode or even your browser\u2019s console. One popular plugin is the \u201cWP Code Editor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After installing and activating the plugin, you can access your website\u2019s HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code directly from your WP dashboard. But, be aware that editing code with this plugin requires a certain amount of HTML knowledge. Caution is advised when making changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_4_Use_FTP_to_Access_HTML_Code\"><\/span>Method 4: Use FTP to Access HTML Code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For the more advanced WordPress and web developers, accessing website HTML code via FTP is an option. FTP, which stands for \u201cfile transfer protocol,\u201d is used to ferry files between your computer and your website\u2019s hosting server.<\/p>\n<p>To employ FTP to access your website\u2019s HTML code, you\u2019ll need to download FTP client software, such as FileZilla, Cyberduck, or WinSCP. Once installed, you can use the software to connect to your website\u2019s hosting server, navigate to the correct directory, and access the HTML files.<\/p>\n<p>With the HTML files downloaded, open them in a text editor like Notepad or Sublime Text, make your revisions, and then upload the updated file to the server.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Conclusion\"><\/span>In Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Various approaches to viewing and modifying website HTML code exist within WordPress, catering to all levels of coding proficiency. If you\u2019re just starting with WordPress, using the \u201cpreview in HTML mode\u201d is a sound method. However, if you intend to make more comprehensive changes, using a code editor plugin or FTP would be prudent. Exercise caution when modifying website code as errors could result in website breakdowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unraveling the Mysteries of Viewing HTML Code in WordPress WordPress is an incredibly popular platform for website development, but accessing the HTML code behind your&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3287],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/WORDPRESS-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9973"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
