You can make simple edits to a HTML web pages using the File Manger in your cPanel. (If you are looking to build a web page or website it is recommended that you use the SiteBuilder tool in your Customer Manager).
Click on the “File Manager” icon in cPanel Home page. If a small window pops up with the heading “File Manager Directory Selection” choose the option to open the “Web Root” directory. Otherwise the File Manager will appear and you will need to click on the folder “public_html” to open the website root directory.
Navigate to the file that you want to edit and check the box next to the file. Then at the top of the File Manager page click “HTML Editor”. This will open the file in the WYSIWYG editor. The HTML Editor will only work for files that end in “.html” or “.htm”. For example a home page will typically be “index.html”.
When you are finished editing your web page you can click on the blue floppy disk icon in the top left hand corner to save the file. Updates will appear instantly on your live website.
Important Note: If you are having trouble finding the file for a particular web page try navigating to to the page through the web browser. Then in the address bar if the domain looks like this:
http://mydomain.com/blog/articles/november-12-2015.html
Then you are looking for the file “novermber-12-2015.html” and it will be inside the folder “articles” inside the folder “blog” inside the folder “public_html”. Another way to look at it is:
http://mydomain.com/folder/folder/filename.html
Important Note: When you use the File Manager to edit a page, it is done immediately. You need to be certain that you want the changes made as the page will be updated immediately.
