Hi There

The path you need to go by is - includes/languages/english/index.php

OR....

Log into your main admin panel.....

Then click - Tools.... then - File Manager.

 

You should then see a bunch of files in the main screen.

 

Double click on the file - includes

then

Double click on the file - languages

then

Double click on the file - english (or your chosen language)

 

You'll then see white file click once on the index.php

 

This will bring up an edit button to you top right

CLICK on the EDIT button and your there.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SITE BEFORE ADJUSTING ANYTHING JUST INCASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

 

Good Luck

Thanks that actually helped me, but i made a back up file via mysql, which i have no idea what that is :( I tried editing my text and now it just says

HEADING_TITLE

Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account?

TEXT_MAIN

 

I cant seem to remove that "TEXT_MAIN" this coding is pretty hard to understand, isnt there an add-on to make this process like microsoft frontpage?

Never, ever, even after hell freezes over, use the admin filemanager for anything.

 

PHP is text, you use a text editor to edit the file after you ftp it to your pc.

 

Backing up your database is good, backing up your files is better before you do edits and ftp the changed files to the web.
