    if you talking about your site http://www.unlimitedwarehouse.com/ then I think whoever did the HTML for the site header removed too much of the CSS. The source just has
    Code:
    <td>Unlimited Warehouse</td>
    making it impossible to style. You will have to add a CSS "hook" so that you can control this text.

    So you need to edit ... /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

    change
    Code:
    <td width="61%" height="140" align="center">
    to
    Code:
    <td width="61%" height="140" align="center" id="tagline">
    then edit /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/styles.css and add

    Code:
    #tagline {
    font-size: 1.5em;
    }

    I could use some help here as well. I'm quite lost since I am not a designer or programmer, so in the simplest terms would be best, LOL

    My website is http://www.brodiegirl.com and the tagline is huge and in black, would like to change it to either green or purple to match my logo.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    What version of Zen are you using?? You have three stylesheets at play and at least two are archaic.

    I removed, virtually, "stylesheet_new.css", "stylesheet_original.css", and left "stylesheet.css" only to find your layout busted.

    Anyways, before I begin preaching upgrades... it seems like your tagline is currently controlled by stylesheet_new.css. So, find this in that stylesheet;
    Code:
    #tagline {
      color:#000000;
    	font-size: 2em;
      text-align : center;
    	vertical-align: middle;
    }
    You can adjust the color and font size to your liking, but no guarantees if the other stylesheets fight the changes.

    Hi Sketchy!
    I feel like I should do an intro each time I ask a question, LOL I am not a programmer or designer, someone else designed this site for me and I paid them to do so. From what I know about the designer, they are reputable and knowledgeable...but I could be wrong???

    Anyway, my point is, I have no idea how templates work or the coding for them. I do know how to access them in cpanel and I can change things if I need to, if I have lots of detailed instructions.

    So for your question....I'm using Version 1.3.6
    Now that i'm logged into admin I see there is an update!! I have no idea what I need to do to update, I don't want to lose all the work I have in my website, so I'm afraid to touch it.

    I am going to try your suggestion here and if it doesn't work I'll try and upgrade, or attempt to get an answer as to how from my designer.

    Thanks so much for the help!!!

    Hi Jess, you're very welcome. I guess everyone may do things differently or quite commonly face inexperience barriers. I do understand your confusion and I'll try to clarify...

    I use FTP direct access to my online files, I have no patience logging in and fishing around via the file manager in the host's control panel. Even at that, I'd probably guess that different hosts may have different set ups. It might be the same...

    I log into my host account and choose 'File Manager' from the 'Site Management' menu. I then click on my domain directory folder, then I click on my Zen folder(test shop is in sub folder). I click on the listed folder named 'includes', 'templates', and then my currently named template folder. Then I'm left with my main template folders. Then, you can open up the corresponding folder to access your stylesheets(css folder). You have the option to download a relevant file to your desktop and edit the file with a text editor or edit the file with the host's editor, without downloading/uploading to the desktop. I believe it best to download/upload, then you can make a copy of the original in case of foul ups with customizing steps or at least download an original copy of the relevant file for back up, if you choose to use the host's editor. Anyways, for your case... there should be three stylesheets in your 'css' folder with the stylesheet names stated prior.

    I'm not sure how much you paid for your store layout and it's none of my business, but three stylesheets is not very good to have. I could understand two, as per the original Classic template... even at that, your custom template should have been designed based upon the default template. So, I have to relay that having three stylesheets is bad practice. Your current design does not warrant more than one stylesheet.css .

    I must make aware that the current layout is busted, due to the center picture being too big for the constraints of the overall template width. I also recently upgraded to v1.3.6 and logged in today, without a notice to upgrade further. Are you sure your version isn't v1.3.5 or lower maybe?
