I can not figure out how to change the text on the main page. I have tried to follow the directions on the main page but can not find the files it is talking about.

Can someone out there please help me?

Thank you!

Do a search of these forums and you will easily find your answer. The file you ned to change is in your languages folder, and its called index. The text you wish to delete does explain everything in simple terms.

REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP

I have tried to find the languages folder and can not locate it. Could you please direct me to exactly where I should be looking?

Also, I tried searching the fourms for help in this subject and I still have not been able to find instructions on this.

Sorry for being so unknowledgeable in this area.

To edit the text on your main osCommerce page , you'll have to use an FTP program and go to the folder you saved your store in , then

 

catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

Drag the index.php folder to your computer then open it in Notepad ...

 

You can see the text you want to edit in there.

 

Note: While editing , if you have to use an apostrophe, you must put a back-slash before it.... so What's would be What\'s

 

After you're done editing, save the file as index.php and then upload it back to where it came from.

 

NOTE : Don't forget to save the file as "all files" after you edit in Notepad and not as a ".txt" file !! ... if you do it won't work and you'll be pulling hair out trying to figure out what went wrong (trust me .. ) lol
