    Define "index page". index.php? A page with a list of something? Some page that you think exists that really doesn't? There's no "index page on all WP sites".

    Hi all,

    If I build website on codes, html/css etc., the first page is html.index, the index page or home page. Where is the home page of WP. I found other pages reading their codes. But I couldn't find home/index page of my website.

    Furthermore

    html.index or home page or index page.

    I don't really get your question but you might want to check these files:
    /wp-content/themes/youractivethemefolder/index.php
    /wp-content/themes/youractivethemefolder/home.php
    /wp-content/themes/youractivethemefolder/front-page.php

    It will help to tell us what theme you are using.

    Hi,

    I activated "responsive" building my website running WP on Godaddy site. I have checked home.php and index.php and couldn't find the texts edited during creating my website. I couldn't find front-page.php.

    When building website with html coding in past the first page was named html.index. It is called the index page or home page.

    Yeah I know but there are several different ways to setup home page with WordPress, and it could use any file name depends on how the theme creator set them up. So knowing the theme name could help us locate the home page file.

    Yes

    "Hello, World!" was replaced with "Investment"

    "Your H2 subheadline here" was replaced with "Basic Knowledge on Investment"

    Those text can be found on home.php, line #39 & #53 respectively. You can also make changes via it's theme options, no need to touch the codes.

    You can literally do every changes through wordpress admin unless you need to insert custom design it it. Look for posts / pages depending on how the theme is set up.
    To edit homepage coding directly use home.php .

    I got it. Thank.

    But that is NOT the file which I'm looking for. I expect to find the file which has been edited by me.

    Hi,

    That is what I'm considering to do, inserting my codes. I learned html/css/php etc before. Although I haven't used them for prolonged time. I think it won't be too difficult for me coming back.

    Can I insert my own code to make some minor change on the home/index page? If YES which page I have to look for? Thanks

    I did it on other pages. It worked. I have no problem finding the added page.

    Posts that you add aren't pages, they're records in the database. The "page" is created dynamically, when you go to the site, by the PHP code. You won't find the text of any of your posts in any of the files.

    Which data? Some of it is static, some of it is dynamic. You have to tell us exactly which data you're talking about.

    In wordpress site normally the index.php file stored in
    wp-content/themes/youractivethemefolder/index.php

    login your Cpanel and open file manager select root directory in that you can find public HTML folder.
    In that select site which you want to see the index page in that choose the Theme folder which is present you can find it.
