What exactly is Cursor used for in real workflows?

Okay I think I am finally in the correct Cursor window now

Now I am confused about the next step.

For context, my project is basically a WordPress site around Delta Executor (Roblox scripts/executor related content, downloads, guides, landing pages etc). Most of the site is currently built using:

  • Elementor

  • custom HTML/CSS snippets

  • WordPress edits

  • ChatGPT generated sections

  • random frontend tweaks until things finally look decent

Now I’m trying to understand how people properly move this kind of project into Cursor/vibe coding workflows.

What files am I actually supposed to import/open inside Cursor first?

Do I:

  • download files from hosting first?

  • open the whole WordPress folder?

  • or only the active theme folder?

I mean which website folder or file to download or how to import to Cursor.

And once I download them, which folder do people normally work on inside Cursor for frontend/design improvements?

I think the thing confusing me most right now is understanding what the actual “project” is supposed to be inside Cursor for an already running WordPress website.
