WordPress Themes, Modifying Index.php

[kansasakki]

I need to customize a theme for WordPress a bit. 

 

I want to change modify the index.php file and the order one of the sidebars is called.  I have searched, tested, and retested the index.php file and have been unable to locate the index.php file that is currently being used.

 

Can some one give me a tip on where the active them index.php file is being called from?

 

I have the theme working mostly correct, but I am unable to even get an HTML comment to show up in the viewed source code.

 

The path I think the index.php file is located at is  ../wp-content/themes/WPLocalPro/index.php  but changing the comments in this file does not affect the rendered source code.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

DNS changed according to the owner, waiting for it to resolve to the DNS servers I guess.

 

I will stand down for now.

The index file is located within the selected themes folder.

 

wp-content/themes/your_theme_name

 

Whatever change made to your index file....changes can also be made to single.php,search.php,archive.php and page.php.

Thank you QOC, that is what I was thinking and trying to express, but I guess I did not make it clear.

 

I am still having troubles getting my changes to work.  kind of a big friggen mess I got into, and now I am looking like a donkey not being able to get this to work.  I can make it work locally, but when I move it out to the real website, no dice. 

 

I am not sure what to do with it anymore.

If you can make it work locally then you must have at least did something correctly.

 

Did you try to clear the browser cache or any server cache?
