How Do I Edit a Custom WordPress Template?

Editing a Custom WordPress Template

Now that you have created a custom WordPress template, it is time to edit it. This guide will outline the basic steps necessary to make changes to your template.

First, you will need to access the custom template files. To do this, you can either log into your WordPress site and look for the template files in the /wp-content/themes folder, or you can use the wp_get_template() function to retrieve the template files for a specific post or page. To find the template files for a particular post, you can use the following code:

get_post(‘id’);

To find the template files for a particular page, you can use the following code:

get_page_template(‘page_id’);

Once you have retrieved the template files, you can edit them using any standard WordPress editor.

Note: If you are making changes to the template files that will affect the entire site, you should create a new theme and install it on your site. Changing the template files for a single post or page will not affect the rest of the site.
