How to change your theme’s appearance
If you want to change certain aspects of your theme, you should get familar with its different files.
Here are a few of your theme’s key template files and their specific purpose:
style.css
– controls the compositional and stylistic presentation of your siteheader.php
– displays the header area of your web pages, which generally includes your blog title, tagline, navigation, and other “upper” elementsindex.php
– loops through your post content and displays different elements, such as the post title, date, and contentwp-comments.php
– displays each post’s comments, pingbacks, and trackbacks, as well as the comments-submission formsingle.php
– similar toindex.php
, but displays a single post instead of multiple posts
There are numerous ways to go about editing these files, but perhaps the easiest way is to simply use the built-in Theme Editor from within the WordPress Admin.
