In reply to: Problem accessing WP from the internet. Works on local.Many thanks. That’s the problem. But not easy to fix – there are hard coded links everywhere. What a mess. All because of one dumb line entered at the very start. I guess that’s how you learn.
Your help much appreciated.

In reply to: Looking for help to edit a WP websiteAs this is an active commercial site, I don’t want to go playing with it in any depth. A simple text change is what I had hoped for. Changing CSS lists or modding the database is not something I want to do on an active site.
I will maybe look at transferring a copy of the site to my local server. There I can look at changing the theme and getting the latest version of WP.
I am assuming that exporting the site (WP + database) is something that is done regularly and that it’s not a big deal.
Many thanks to all who replied. Great community.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Looking for help to edit a WP websiteIt’s not the actual bullet I want to remove, it’s the text just following it.

In reply to: Looking for help to edit a WP websiteApologies, I didn’t make myself clear.
Yes, I understand that the HTML tags are generated and not in the database.
What I should have asked is: is it likely then that the text I see on the Home page is held in the database (i.e. the text I want to edit)? I guess that’s what is called the content.
I am coming to the conclusion that the text I see on the web pages may reside in clear in PHP files or may be stored in the SQL database. It depends on how the theme is implemented. In my case, since I can’t find the text in the files, it is probably stored in the database.
Given that the theme is obsolete, it sounds like a WP expert is required to re-design the site. Beyond my capabilities!!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Looking for help to edit a WP websiteThank you for that.
I am not wanting to discuss the commercial theme.
Rather to understand if I can expect to find the HTML in clear in the files on the server. OR – is it possible the HTML is in the database?
I have just now downloaded (via FTP) every file available on the hosting server. None appear to contain the HTML that I see in the browser source code.
So I am coming to the conclusion that it is held in the database and hence beyond my ability to change it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Looking for help to edit a WP websiteThank you for those inputs.
Don’t understand what F12 is offering. Seems to be a view of the server folder structure. I can see this with FTP. Just can’t find the file with the HTML bullets in it.
There is a page called ‘SKY’ but it is not related to the HOME page. I am able to edit the SKY page OK. The HTML code is there in clear.What is in the home-three.php page? See below please.
I guess my real question is this: is it usual/normal for themes/plugins to keep the HTML code in the SQL database? I had really hoped to find the HTML in one of the PHP files on the server. But if it is typical to keep it in the database, then I am lost. If the generated HTML code is always in the PHP files, then I just haven’t looked hard enough!!
I note also the comments that the theme is no longer supported.home-three.php is thusly:

In reply to: Looking for help to edit a WP websiteNothing in “home-three.php”. Thank you for the suggestion.
I am looking for any ref to theme or plugins. I see nothing on the left hand side of the attached screen grab. I installed WP on a local PC and the left hand menu there appears to allow dealing with themes and plugins.
The top of the screen grab mentions “LIOFOLIO”. I suspect that may be a theme or plugin. But when I click on “LioFolio Options” it says I don’t have permissions to go there.AAaaarrrggg!! Seems like I can’t attach an image!! Let’s see if I can put in a link to it. Link to screen grab.
