How do I edit WordPress on HostGator?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:59 pm

Editing WordPress on HostGator can be a little tricky, but not impossible. The best way to do it is to use the HostGator Control Panel.

This is a really easy to use interface that lets you access all of your HostGator account information, including your WordPress site.

Once you have accessed your Control Panel, you will need to find the “WordPress” section. Under this section, you will see all of your WordPress files and folders.

PRO TIP: If you are considering editing your WordPress site on HostGator, be aware that there are risks involved. Editing any part of your WordPress site can potentially break your site, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you could irreparably damage your site or even lose all of your data.

Before making any changes to your WordPress site on HostGator, be sure to create a full backup of your site so that you can restore it if something goes wrong. Once you have a backup, proceed with caution and only make changes that you are absolutely confident in. Remember that even small changes can have big consequences, so take care when editing your WordPress site on HostGator.

You can then use the menus at the top of the Control Panel to edit any of these files.

For example, if you want to make a change to your WordPress site’s name, you can use the “Site” menu and select “Site Name”. Then, you will be able to enter a new name for your site in the “Site Name” field.

Once you have made your desired changes, you can save your changes by clicking on the “File” menu and selecting “Save Site”. You can then close the Control Panel if you want.

Overall, editing WordPress on HostGator can be a little tricky, but it can be done using the HostGator Control Panel.
