    Default Total newbie - help removing wording in Contact Us, etc.

    Hi all. Total confused newbie here. Up front, I'll tell you I know nothing about coding, php, and the like.

    I changed the wording in my Define Pages Editor for shipping, contact info, privacy, etc. When I go to my URL to check it out, I see my wording, but also see a little box above it that says something like "Your (whatever) goes here."

    Is there a way (easy?) to get rid of that box so just my info shows?

    Thank you so much in advance.

    Edit the php files in your includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic folder.

    You can also use the Admin tool under tools/Devloper Tool Kit to show you where that wording is originating at and edit those files ;)

    just a reminder about editing PHP files -

    it is easier than it looks

    don't just erase stuff, you WILL regret it later - make sure you find an editor program that shows the code in colors - there are many out there, dreamweaver works great. learn to use 'comment-out'

    before
    will 'de-activate' everything on the line
    after
    //will 'de-activate' everything on the line


    /* will 'de-activate' everything
    between the commands */


    another need to know is to use the admin/tools/developtoolkit - to find phrases and files. it should be called search tool. just make sure you change the center dropdowns from 'none' to 'all'. If you want to change certain words, you'll find references to it in different files - just be sure to BACK UP YOUR FILES before editing - an easy way to do that is to leave a copy with a different name in the directory - WHEN you get an error message just change the original name back and panic is over

    once you start editing files you'll need to start using the override system or you'll have trouble when you upgrade.
