Did you know that you could actually edit your wordpress theme within your WordPress admin? Yes you could, but you will need some knowledge in PHP, HTML, and CSS since WordPress and the WordPress themes are made from PHP, HTML and CSS. Often you might download a template that you really liked and install it in your WordPress blog, but then realise you would like to do more with the template, maybe add your own features or edit some certain sections that you didn’t like. The appearance editor your wordpress admin will allow you to do that. To access the editor your installed WordPress theme go to:

Appearance > Editor (wp-admin/theme-editor.php)

When you open this page you’ll see the files that build up your theme template under Templates. Click on each file and the file code will open up where you can literary begin to add your own modifications. This has it’s advantages and disadvantages. The advantages will be is that you can add/edit the existing template and make it function to your desire, for instance I installed a template that I like but discovered the template didn’t display the full post contents stripped out the images and displayed just the text, what I did was open the Archive file and change the function to another function and all worked out perfectly. The disadvantage is that when a new version of the theme/template comes up and upgrade it will replace all your existing modifications so have to be careful here. Maybe try to keep records of areas you’ve edited. You can also edit the Stylesheets under Styles

This is a quick way to edit your wordpress themes, but try to always use a website editor such as Dreamweaver. They’re much more reliable, except this way allows to edit the files quickly and anywhere.

That was another way of how to edit or do more with your WordPress themes in WordPress.
