How to upload revised template?

[gjh42]

Did you click "update" after the preview?

What image is it that you are replacing? Where in admin are you "previewing"?

Yes, I clicked UPDATE.

I am replacing the pic1.gif file which is the file I revised.

I am previewing the file from Tools<template selection then the box on the right that says "update"

It sounds like you are updating the template preview image, not actual template files. Can we see your site to know what part of the template you are trying to change? Editing one overall "page view" image is going to do nothing for you. You need to identify which "slice" of the overall, or however the images are organized, that you want to edit.

Sure, there are a few "place" where I want to edit but until I get the hang of it I am trying to change the name of the store. The template I purchased has the name "flower shop" at the top right...I want to edit that to say "Bonsai Elegance". Later I will edit some more things but I can't even get past this step! www.bonsaielegance.com

thank you!

The Flower Shop logo image is az_header_logo.jpg. The header of that template is built in an antiquated method, with a whole bunch of table cells that have bits of the header image loaded into each one. You will need to modify or replace the whole header image, so the best thing will be to (when you are ready) delete all of those little images like az_header_left_2.jpg and az_header_right_1.jpg, make sure the table cells are transparent, editing them in tpl_header.php to remove hard-coded images, and put the whole new header image as a background for the whole header:

.topbanner_tb {background: url(../images/your_header_bg.jpg) no-repeat;}

I have a follow up question...so when I change the name from 'flower shop' to my store name (using Photoshop), do I just drag the az_header_logo.jpg over to my server for the change will be apparent on my site?

That should work.

Thank you so much for all your help. That worked. Still have a long way to go, but for anyone reading this using an AlgoZone template, go to their site as there is a handy video tutorial that explains exactly what was explained here - but is tailored to their templates. Thanks again.
