Maybe you need to update the path for an image or change the paragraph text on your website, for example. If you have minor changes to make that can be done quickly, you can use the HTML Editor in the cPanel File Manager to change the code. This is called \u201c<em>Editing on the fly<\/em>\u201c, which is changing the files of the source website while it\u2019s live. Let\u2019s go to the File Manager and see how this cPanel code editor works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\"><strong>Important!<\/strong>\u00a0Editing the code in a file on the server can break your website if you do not know what you are doing. Because the file is being used by the live website, we always recommend editing a backup copy of the file instead of the files on the server. Make a backup copy of the file before editing it by right-clicking the file, selecting the\u00a0<strong>Copy<\/strong>\u00a0option, then entering a new file location. You can also edit a file using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/ftp\/getting-started-guide\/\">FTP<\/a>, or  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/softaculous\/cloning-your-site\/\">create a clone of your site for testing using Softaculous<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"edit\">Edit HTML Code in cPanel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/how-to-log-into-cpanel\/\">Login to your cPanel<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/using-file-manager-in-cpanel\/\">File Manager<\/a> in the <em>Files<\/em> section.<br><figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/cpanel-tools-files-1.png\" alt=\"Edit Website Files with cPanel File Manager\"><\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to the HTML page you want to edit. <br><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"321\" class=\"wp-image-88410\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/navigate-to-file.png\" alt=\"Open the Folder that Contains the File You Want to Edit\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/navigate-to-file.png 1022w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/navigate-to-file-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/navigate-to-file-768x328.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right-click the file and choose the HTML Edit option.
