How do I edit a Joomla template?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:43 am

Template editing is one of the most common tasks for webmasters. Joomla templates are easy to use and can be edited using a text editor or an online editor.

There are a few steps to follow when editing a Joomla template:

1. Open the template in a text editor.

2. Make any changes you need to the template text.

3. Save the template as a new file.

4. Upload the new file to your Joomla website.

5. Click the “Update Template” button in the Joomla administrator area.

6. The template will be updated and the changes will be reflected in the website.

The easiest way to edit a Joomla template is to open it in a text editor and make any changes you need to the template text. You can also use an online editor, such as Joomla! Builder.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Joomla or coding in general, we advise against editing Joomla templates. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, you could unintentionally break your website.

Once you’ve made your changes, you’ll need to save the template as a new file and upload it to your Joomla website. To update the template, click the “Update Template” button in the Joomla administrator area.
