Edit WordPress homepage using ftp

  • Hello, I am new to working on CMS/Wordpress based websites.

    I am currently working on a one page website. My client has their own host, domain, and are using FTP. You can view the site here: https://obscurelytitled.com/.

    When the page is loaded I can view the source code and see the one small tweak I need to make on the homepage.

    To be specific I want to edit line 163 of homepage and change the href value of the <link> element.

    The problem is that I don’t know where I can find the PHP? file (in the FTP folder structure) that is populating the specific section of code on the homepage that I want to edit.

    Please note that I want to edit the homepage via FTP, not the WordPress interface/admin.

    I’d like to get more proficient at being able to edit and work with WordPress based websites more easily, so if anyone could please provide any tips that’d be great.

    Thanks!

    It looks like you’re in the wrong forum. It appears that you’re using the open-source WordPress software and therefore you need to seek help on these forums:
