  • Great video! If I wanted to create a local environment to make a custom theme (access PHP, Javascript, HTML, etc) , how would I do that? I have my FTP setup with Filezilla per your video, but I want to make big changes through my code editor. I read some of the articles you posted to others, but they talk about moving from local server to live; I'm looking to just create a local environment (my host is: hostinger, building on WordPress, and I don't want to use any pre-made themes – everything from scratch!)

  • All, I can say is she tells people to do things without explaining why. All I want to do is download my site onto my computer

  • Anyone know my issue fix? Will this do it? In my admin section file management. The little puzzle piece shape is how i guessed you upload files. It has no click here nothing. I just guessed. My site is like 8 years old. It always took a bunch of clicks before it opened my files to upload images. It worked but took a while of clicking before it did. Now its not clickable. I cannot upload any images to my site. The little puzzle shape isnt clickable at all now. Anyone know the fix? Thanks!
