    Default Need help changing text size for: "Congratulations" & "Welcome Guest" on main page

    Hi,

    I made some changes to the text that appears on my shop's front page. The text used to say "Congratulations! You Have Successfully Installed" & Weclome Guest! Would you like to Log Yourself In?" and now I've changed it using the customization method. What I don't know how to do however is to change the size of the text... It's too big. Can anyone tell me how to shrink it down?

    And, is it possible to simply remove the "Congrats" line of text altogether? I have an image that sits just below the Welcome Guest line and it feels a little low for me...

    Thanks!

    Try setting in the admin > config > layout settings > Customer Greeting - Show on Index Page > set to "0" off

    Thank you very much, that removed the "welcome guest" text completely and in the process, found the solution to two other problems I was having, so again, thank you...

    Lastly, I still however have the "Congrats" line of text and would like to remove it as well. I originally thought I would just reduce it's size but no realize that's not necessary. I can put the same text message I have there on the center box image instead which would move the image up to the top of the box. Any ideas on how I can remove that text?

    Thanks and have a great one today!

    Hi Mary,

    Yes, I've used this tutorial already. I initially changed the text to say what I wanted it to say, but now I don't want the text to appear at all. I want that line to be gone so my main page image can move up to the top of the center box. I will add the text to the image instead. The turorial noted explains how to replace the text but it doesn't explain how to remove the line of text completely which is what I am looking for. I couldn't find any tutorials on that specific need. Do you know if I simply delete the "congrats" line from the two locations showed in the turorials whether or not the line would dissappear or if it will still hold the space on the page but it will be blank or if it will mess something up?

    Thanks!

    Where you find this line on two places it is contained inside of single quotes ao change these lines to this:

    what you have 'Congrats......'

    change to: '' (these are single quotes a pair)

    I followed the tutorial, and I then took the text out completely to show just the two ', but the main page still says "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution." I went to the developers toolkit and it shows that the line is still in the index.php, but I have changed it in the language/english folder as well as the languages/english/custom folder. I have no idea where else to change it.

    Here is what it shows in the index.php files

    // This section deals with the "home" page at the top level with no options/products selected
    /*Replace this text with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/
    define('HEADING_TITLE', '');
    } elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {
    // This section deals with displaying a subcategory
    /*Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/
    define('HEADING_TITLE', '');
    }
    ?>

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Robyn

    You appear to be using the /classic/ folder as your custom template. Unfortunately, if you do that any changes you make will be overwritten by future upgrades/updates. Check the contents of includes/languages/english/classic/index.php. If that doesn't exist, check includes/languages/english/index.php.

    If you did create a custom template, did you go into the admin and select it from the pull down menu under tools->template selection?
