1,108 PointsHTML, CSS and wordpress type site builders
If a website is build based on a wordpress template(or some other drag and drop type site builder) is it usually possible to go in and directly edit/ modify your html and style sheets? Where can you find the editable versions of these files in such a situation?

33,856 PointsHi Brandt, most WordPress themes provide some level of support when you purchase them. Themes with drag-and-drop page builders, multiple stacks etc., are highly complex to go in and edit yourself. So unless you're familiar with the theme, I would check with the theme's support on which is the best way to get the desired result.
Some WordPress themes come with a customized admin (or editable CSS) area, so when themes are updated, it saves all of your settings. Otherwise, there is what WordPress refers to as child themes, which allow you to make edits to the CSS / theme and receive updates to the parent theme (framework) when needed.
