    Hi folks,
    I’m a graphic designer, new to wordpress & trying to understand all this wordpress structure.

    Note :
    I have downloaded all my website contents using a FTP program (Filezilla) to my PC.
    Problem:
    Now in my browser I have a page that I need to locate through those downloaded files. In Google Chrome, I can inspect a page and see the code; but I need to know where physically this code is located in my files. This might be a dumb question, but I tried my best before posting here. I appreciate any comments on this .

    You have to be more specific. Can you post a link to the page where the text you’re tryin’ to find is located?

    Where that PHP code is located really depends on your theme structure and the WordPress file structure. You might have to look through the following codex page – theme stuff is located about 2/3 down.

    I’d use grep on the command line but that may be outside your comfort zone. If your OS is Windows, there’s WinGrep which is described thus:

    Windows Grep is a tool for searching files for text strings that you specify. Although Windows and many other programs have file searching capabilities built-in, none can match the power and versatility of Windows Grep.

    Notepad++ also provides the “Find in files” functionality. Locally, open Notepad++, go to Search tab -> Find in files and point to the desired folder. Search for the text you want to locate.

    I tried Notepad++ still not able to find the piece of code. maybe I’m doing something wrong.
    Here’s the deal:
    There’s a page with an unwanted link in it. I want to remove it through the code and upload the file again, but I don’t know where the code is. check this out :

    at the bottom of the page there’s a “Slides S2 Home” picture box with nothing in it. I need to clear that.
    Note:
    In google chrome I did “inspect” the page and found the code which is making this link, and searched for this code through my files. no Luck.

    Thank you for all your helps …

    Looks like this might be called in from an include file. Is there any call to get a PHP file where that image appears in the code?

    In the meantime, this should provide a temporary solution to hide the non-image:

    .home .alignnone.size-full.wp-image-53 {
    display: none;
}
