How do I edit Index PHP in Joomla?

Last updated on December 26, 2022 @ 11:33 am

An index.php file is a file that is used by the Joomla! content management system (CMS) to organize your site’s content.

You can use an index.php file to create a table of contents for your site, to store backup information, or to store any other information that you want to make easily accessible to site visitors.

To create an index.php file in Joomla!, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Joomla! administration panel.

2. In the left-hand column of the main administration panel, click Site.

3. In the Site content section of the panel, click Index.

4. On the Index page, you can enter the name of the index file and the file path where it should be stored.

5. Click the Save button to save the index.php file.

6. In the Site content section of the panel, click Indexes.

7. On the Indexes page, you can view and edit the contents of the index.

8. To use the index.php file, access it from the web root of your Joomla! site. For example, if the web root is www.example.com, you would access the index.php file at http://www.com/index.php.

PRO TIP: If you are not a qualified web developer, do not attempt to edit your Joomla site’s index.php file. Doing so could break your site. If you need to make changes to this file, hire a professional to do it for you.
