    Default Changing Header??

    OK, I've pulled my last 2 hairs out...

    How do I change the Header banner at the top of my store?

    I changed the text that writes over the banner... It looks like the image on the left (classic) is icon.gif, which I fouind in the Classic folder, renamed it, and uploaded another image in its place, but nothing happened. But then what azbout the full width banner in the background? Where is it and how do I change it?

    I've tried to avoid CSS up to now... don't tell me I'm going to have to figure them out.

    The 'image on the left" is called logo.gif, and the background image is called header_bg.jpg. Rename your replacement images to that.

    Changing them in the Classic template images folder is useful only if you are using the classic template, otherwise you should replace the files in the folder for your current active template.

    The sales message is text, not an image. For more info, read https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=127

    For info on changing the logo, read https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=125

    Please follow the instructions for creating a custom template or your changes will be lost with an upgrade/update.

    I've looked trough all the header files as the tutorial says and I can't find the "Sales Message Goes Here" so I can remove it.
    It's Zen Cart 1.3.8.a
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks :)


    EDIT:
    Never mind, I was looking at the files in my old version.
    Sorry
