I also checked this other answers about wordpress, e.g.

Any comments or suggestion are highly appreciated.

  1. Try this:

    [code language="css"]
   // your code here
   if(correct)
   { puts("my wordpress text now shows the dash " -- " this is cool!");
   }
[/code]

    That should do the trick.

  3. You need to get access to the files on your server, then just follow the file path. If you have cPanel, you can edit files directly, otherwise you’ll probably need to setup an ftp client, like filezilla
