Hello,

 

I need some help finding a file in my master files. I want to get rid of some of the advertising on my front page. BUT I can't find where the file is in my cpanel.

 

Can anyone tell me what path to follow to find the front page ads?

 

here is my website: www.dogsuppliessite.com

 

 

Thanks, any help would be appreciated. email [email protected]

Jill,

 

The left side google ads code will be found in your catalog>includes>column_left.php file and the ads on the bottom could be in your catalog>index.php or catalog>includes>footer.php file.

 

Personally, I would remove ALL google ads from your site or adjust your google ads account to display small links only. The current setup REALLY makes your site look unprofessional.

Browse your site with Internet Explorer.

 

I count at least 4 items causing "unsecure items" popup on SSL pages.

 

That will NOT score brownie points with potential customers...

:'(

 

BUT, it can be fixed.

 

<?php
 if ( $request_type == 'NONSSL' ) {
?>

******** DELETE THIS LINE AND PUT YOUR "NONSECURE" CODE HERE ********

<?php
 }
?>

:)

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Hi Chris,

 

I want to get rid of most of the stuff, especially the Bidvertiser, they have changed who approves the ads and I don't want them on my site any more. But I can't even find a file named "catalog"!!

 

When I go into my cpanel, then I go to file manager (right?), it then gives me 4 options:

Home Directory

Web Root

Public FTP

Document Root

 

Which of these should I start looking in?

 

Thanks for your help!!

It would be quicker to look in them all rather than wait for an answer.

 

Not the answer you wanted but you can't break anything by looking in each directory and drilling down.

 

Once you find that directory you will need to find the code that displays the adverts or do you already know where it is?

 

Try /includes/column_left.php, maybe footer.php
