Look in your languages/english.php file. Find "define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST'". You can modify it there.

I think his question was how to remove it, not modify it.

Im curious hoiw to remove it or hide it too.

When I try to hide it at the location you gave it shows "text_greeting_guest".

I'm a victim of circumstance

Id Like to know why there is no edit page for the front page?

 

I do not see the "text_greeting_guest". in the english/index.php file?

I would like to know this as well. I've been working for hours tonight trying to find out how to edit the text in the center of the page where it says "Welcome Guest" etc.

You can change the Welcome Guest text in the same file (index.php) as you changed the main page test.

If your downloading and using Notepad or an HTML writer you can find the file in: store/includes/languages/english/index.php

Or you can make changes in Administration under Tool, click define languages, then click index.php.

The Welcome Guest is located below the main page body of text. You'll see the 'Welcome Guest' text in a line near the beginning which you can change to whatever you want or just remove it between the two ' '

if you want to free up the space used, use this.

 

catalog/index.php, the bottom part of it shows your home page when a customers comes to your page:

<?php
 } else { // default page
?>
<td width="100%" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
	<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="pageHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></td>
		<td class="pageHeading" align="right"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'table_background_default.gif', HEADING_TITLE, HEADING_IMAGE_WIDTH, HEADING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	</table></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
	  </tr>
<?php
include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS);
?>
	</table></td>
  </tr>
</table></td>
<?php
 }
?>
<!-- body_text_eof //-->
<td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<!-- right_navigation //-->
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_right.php'); ?>
<!-- right_navigation_eof //-->
</table></td>
 </tr>
</table>
<!-- body_eof //-->

<!-- footer //-->
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?>
<!-- footer_eof //-->
<br>
</body>
</html>
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?>

 

 

see this part?

<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>

 

ok to free up the space, you need to comment out that whole area including the extra spacer line

this

		  <tr>
		<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>

 

becomes this

<?php
/*
	  <tr>
		<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>
*/
?>

This is Crazy.

the welcome guest message is not in index.php, but in english.php

 

If you only want to change the text, you need to go there.

 

Be aware that it uses the function I had outlined in my post before to insert the name.
