Your question should be specific to WordPress. Generic PHP/JS/SQL/HTML/CSS questions might be better asked at Stack Overflow or another appropriate Stack Exchange network site. Third-party plugins and themes are off-topic for this site; they are better asked about at their developers' support routes.

Improve this questionSo, first off, I'm certainly a beginner to this, so if this question is off-topic, I apologize. This question in a way does pertain to a 3rd party theme, but I haven't found anything online so far.
In order to gain access to these files, I've used an FTP client (in this case, Filezilla). I've included several images.
In my experience with other WP themes, all sources files are readily available through the WP dashboard and named in a way that corresponds with most internet and YouTube tutorials.
In this specific situation, I need to add <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json"/> to the <head> section of the site, but I cannot find any .html files, much less, an index.html file. Additionally, I'll need to add a JS snippet to capture click metrics and some .json files for Google Firebase integration, but I'm unable to find the most basic of files within the theme.
I'm not sure if there's a know conversion from HTML to PHP or if the HTML is hidden on purpose, etc.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
P.S. The theme being used seems to be fairly well-known and used, but it even overwrites basic WP functions like cron events as well.

Reset to default 0Nothing in your screenshots is unusual or hidden. Those are perfectly normal files for a WordPress site and WordPress theme. The HTML of your pages is generated by that code. The developer documentation for WordPress is available here, if you want to learn about how themes and plugins are made, but you'll want to have a basic knowledge of PHP first.
To add HTML to the <head> section of your site can be done in many ways, such as:
- Edit your theme's
header.phpfile, and place the code between the<head>tags. This is not the recommended solution, unless your theme is custom developed entirely by you. This is because any changes made to a theme's files will be lost of the theme is ever updated. - Create a child theme. Then copy your parent theme's
header.phpfile to the child theme and edit that file to add the code between the<head>tags. - Use a plugin like Header and Footer Scripts or Tracking Script Manager. These plugins give you an area in the WordPress admin where you can add code like this to your site's
<head>. - Add the following PHP code inside a custom plugin, or a Code Snippets plugin snippet:
add_action(
'wp_head',
function() {
echo '<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json"/>';
}
);
.htmlfiles other thanreadme.htmlwhich is unrelated. The PHP is code that when ran, produces HTML – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Mar 24, 2020 at 19:56
