IMPORTANT MESSAGES:

1. If you are a newbie, please ignore this training. You probably don't need it and it might confuse you.

2. I said "Firefox" in the video, but meant to say "Filezilla". Duh.

3. I listed functions.php and style.css as the main files you may want to edit at some point, but your header is in there as well, and that can come in handy too.

Additional Training: Fix Broken Plugins & Themes via FTP

Update: I forgot, this is also great for editing your .htaccess file for creating permanent redirects

DUDE! make sure you update the yummy FTP I didn't... and I have to fix my images... it duplicated them 18 times... and split up the one image to multiple sizes and for some reason doesn't replace existing image if you are trying to opt them.

Same thing for me FileZilla isn't working me too

Hey! Nathaniell, I think I need this because it was referred to when I wanted to fix a logo and I looked it up but did not find it in the WA WP version, or was just paling newbieness?

Some themes allow for logo changes directly through your WP dashboard area. You can edit your code files in your website too. The only reason you might want to do this FTP thing is if you could not access your files in the editor for some reason.

This is what happened, I could not access FTP files in the editor and I thought that I was doing something wrong.
Thanks
