    Post the section of the file where you added your text, with a few lines above and below for context.

    If you edited the /template_default/ version of the file and there is a /cherry_zen/ version of the same file, the /template_default/ version will never be used. You have to edit and save the file in your custom template folder.

    first i uploaded it to root/includes/templates/template_default/templates and it didn't show up

    then i went to root/includes/templates/cherry_zen/common - but there was no index file - so i tried inserting the default file i had edited there anyway, no luck - i even tried renaming it to template_cherry_zen and that didn't work either.

    here's what i did - 'i'm showing 4 lines above where i inserted it, actual insertion was on line 88

    <?php
    $show_display_category->MoveNext();
    } // !EOF
    ?>

    I misspoke earlier - the file should go in /includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/, the exact same location as the /template_default/ version is in.

    in cherry_zen templates i have the following files
    checkout confirmation
    checkout payment default
    checkout shipping default
    checkout success default
    modules attributes
    modules main product image
    modules product listing
    modules products all listing
    modules product new listing
    product info display
    time out default

    i have no index_default file in this folder

    so i took the index_default file that i edited from my default template file and put it in here, it didn't work.

    am i missing an index file in this includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates folder.

    Template folders should only hold copies of files that are different from default. If there is no custom version of a file, Zen Cart will use the default version. When you want to edit a default file, always save the edited copy in the same relative location in your custom folder structure.

    I went to bed, got up this morning and was able to put in the text on my main page easily. Amazing what a good night's sleep does for the thought process.

    What I did was this - I went to the root/includes/templates/cherry_zen/common, and edited the tpl_main_page.php template. I entered my information on line 88, just after <!-- end ContentMainwrapperb -->

    I'm posting exactly what I did in case someone else is having the same problem as me.

    I have one more tweak with this and it's finished. My text is showing up on every page and I don't know how to enter coding or where exactly to enter the coding so that it shows up on only the main page. If someone could tell me what coding I put to make it show up just on the main page, I would appreciate it.

    Thank you so much for all your help last night guys. You are all amazing! I'm a happy camper this morning, so glad to have that hurdle behind me!!!

    You can add a PHP test for $this_is_home_page, but the better solution would be to put the content in tpl_index_default.php as you were doing first.
