Access the Site Editor

To visit the Site Editor, follow these steps:

  1. Start from your site’s dashboard.
  2. Locate Appearance on the left side.
  3. Click on Editor.

If you do not see Editor here, your theme does not support the Site Editor. We recommend switching to a supported theme to make use of the latest editing features on WordPress.
