  I am using the Morden theme and want to use custom HTML and PHP for form submission and validation. All of the resources I have been able to find so far involve the use of a plugin or a Theme Editor that I don’t have. I would rather avoid using plugins if possible. I know there is a form block but I want to be able to test both for functionality. If there is anyone also using this theme and has working form validation without using the form block that knows an implementation, that would be great.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can add HTML to a custom page template and handle validation in PHP in your theme’s functions.php file

  How would I access that since I don’t have the theme editor?

  Use FTP Client and access functions.php file
