Text Editor
-
I am trying to access the text editor on my blog but I want to see the HTML on the page, not just a single blog post so how do I access the WP Text Editor?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi limecricketbreeze,
The text editor will only allow you to view the HTML code on a single post. You can view the HTML code by using the inspect tool on your browser. On most modern browsers, you can inspect elements and see the HTML code by right clicking on the web page. View screenshot. http://d.pr/i/55vcBK Please keep in mind that the edits made in the inspect tools are only temporary.
Can you tell me a little bit about what you’re trying to accomplish? I’ll be happy to look into this for you.

Hi there @limecricketbreeze!
When you are writing/editing your posts, at the top right of the screen are to buttons, “Visual” and “Text.” If you click on “Text” it will show you the HTML.
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi @kmk3s & @hipauline and thanks for your comments.
I know a little about HTML and what I want to be able to do is edit the HTML not for individual blog posts but for the page itself. Would that be possible in WordPress or are you restricted from doing that?
Thanks. -
You have a little bit of html control if you go into pages and open up the text editor.
However, if you really want to have complete control over the HTML, then you would need to move to a self-hosted wordpress.org setup. Here at WordPress.com there are basic and advanced design customization through CSS with the paid plans (personal, premium, business) but no options for customizing the HTML.
