Edited text on main page, now nothing shows up! Please help!

[greta]

I just attempted to change the text on the main page of my store, but what I added is not showing up. It still shows in large type, "HEADING_TITLE." Then underneath that is "Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account? TEXT_MAIN." Then after that is no text at all.

 

After deleting the text between the two apostrophes, I added 4 paragraphs but it isn't showing up! (sigh)

 

Would it be possible for some of you to maybe right click on the page and see what I did wrong? The page is at http://www.Chezgretaann.com/store/

 

Thanks in advance.

what was the text you added. Some characters can screw up the php and you must put backslashes and such to fix.

[greta]

Here is the entire thing:

 

define ('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to Chezgretaann's plus size store offering women's plus size, fun, casual clothing by We Be Bop and many other designers. Unusual items are the norm at Chezgretaann.<BR><BR>I offer sizes 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X and 5X, and also some Missy sizes.<BR><BR>If you like colorful, fun, kicky clothing, then Chezgretaann.com is the place for you!<BR><BR>Please feel free to browse the site, and if you have any questions or problems with the site, please feel free to <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]"> e-mail</A> me anytime. I consider good communications with my customers very important and will always respond as quickly as possible. I never send unsolicited e-mails and will never share your e-mail address with anyone else.');

 

Am I supposed to have the apostrophe/single quote before the word welcome? Could that be the problem?

 

Thanks,

Hi Greta,

 

Make sure you leave this in 'TEXT_MAIN', 'Put your changes in here.'); otherwise nothing will show also do not remove all the defines at the bottom of the page your not getting any errors so nothing drastic.

 

Kind Regards,

Michelle.

any time you have an apostrophe with in your text try putting a backslash \ before the apostrophe

oops didnt need that last font tag in my code post

was I wrong I uploaded and tryed and it worked for me

[greta]

It was the apostrophes! I had in my notes that anytime you have an apostrophe in your text, you must have a \ before it. I read that several times while trying to figure out what was wrong, but it's late and my brain isn't working!LOL Thanks for pointing it out to me.

 

Now my text is showing, but the link to e-mail me is not working. It just says feel free to e-mail me. Is there some special way I should do that?

 

Thanks so much for all your help!

 

Greta

[mi_jaiten]

Yea me too I must apologise for forgetting the back slashes, so Greta copy and paste this one

 

Kind Regards,

Michelle.
