    Thank you so much, everyone - if I had not known this, & lost all of my page content at the next update, I would not have been a happy bunny!

    Fixing it now.

    Default Re: 1.3.8 --> 1.3.8a Content overwritten?

    So it's the other way around?

    I go to includes/languages/english/html_includes, create a new folder inside html_includes called 'silverfish' & put a copy of html_includes in there (ie. inside 'silverfish')

    Create a new folder inside html_includes called 'silverfish' and put a copy of all the PHP files inside silverfish. So for example:

    includes/languages/english/html_includes/silverfish/define_main_page.php
    includes/languages/english/html_includes/silverfish/define_privacy.php
    includes/languages/english/html_includes/silverfish/define_contact_us.php

    Oops. Should have read the detail of your earlier post more carefully. Yes, the correct location is includes/languages/english/html_includes/silverfish

    Default Re: 1.3.8 --> 1.3.8a Content overwritten?

    It works!

    I created a folder inside html_includes called 'silverfish', then copied all of the .php files inside html_includes into silverfish.

    Next, I added a few words to the home page with admin --> tools --> define pages editor & checked that they actually appeared in a browser.

    When I opened includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main page.php with Filezilla, there were no changes.
    When I opened includes languages/english/html_includes/silverfish/define_main_ page the changes were present.

    This means that the admin text editor is ignoring the default pages (which would be overwritten during an upgrade) & modifying the custom pages (which will not be overwritten) instead.

    As I understand it (now) this can be done to preserve changes to files inside any directory that has a 'classic' folder in it.

    Thanks again for your patience & persistence everyone. The problem is fixed & I learned a lot!
