How do i access cpanel
Just to add some additional context to my original question...
I was watching a video (Outside of WA) and he was showing how to look at individual files on the website via cPanel and file explorer. I was trying to figure out how to do the same thing on my siterubix site and my other sites on domains I own. But the wp dashboard I see through my wa account login is quite different than the cPanel shown in some other trainings I have watched.
WA doesn't have a user-accessible cPanel but here's a couple of workarounds.
1. Contact Site Support
2. Use FTP
3. Install the File Manager plugin.
Marion has you covered with some of the ways to view your files, however, a couple of points I'd like to make. Try to only follow one set of training, and not other training from the internet, where possible. It's like purchasing a Ferrari but then trying to use a Manual from Ford on how to operate it. Also, be very careful editing files behind the scenes. If you directly edit files within a Theme or Plugin, you will lose the changes when the theme/plugin is updated. Also. do not upload images directly to the wp-content folder, as they will not be optimised and added to the database, etc.
WA don't use cPanel, what action do you need to complete?
This will more than likely be done from either SiteDomains, SiteManager, or by contacting SiteSupport.
Thanks Chrystopher (with a Y) :-)

If you don’t want to use the WA Email Servers, you can send your new MX Records to SiteSupport and they will update your DNS Zone Record on your behalf, usually within 5-10 minutes.
Thank you Chrystopher, I'll look into what I need for the mx records and send over a request to site support.

I am using a theme and along with it the default font, but can I or should I change the Font from what came with the theme?
Changing the font in most themes is difficult, although you can change the Theme using Google Fonts, it's 'one time change' aka same all over the site, which is not all that flexible. Changing the font is up to you, there is no 'most effective font' to use as long as it is readable. Most themes do a pretty good job with readability.
You can and should if it looks good. If you think it looks good the way it is then leave it alone, but if you think it needs something then feel free to change it. Most times you eye will be the judge and the best way I can explain it is how would you want to see it if you were visiting the website?
Hope this helps.

ok great thanks Paul, that's kind of where I started with the idea of changing it... I wasn't sure I liked the default font, although I do like the overall theme ;-)

I don't believe we have access to cpanel here in WA.
