Well, I am working on finishing up a zen cart setup for a friend of mine. I'm jumping into the middle of getting this website setup. Someone else did the initial setup. This is the first time I've worked with zen cart or pretty much and web development. But I can read a manual and a FAQ! So, I haven't seen the answer to my question anywhere in my searching.

The site is using the classic template so far but from what I understand I should be running with a CUSTOM template for upgrdading purposes. So I understand this and have read through the over ride FAQ and I think I understand everything clearly.

So, I went through and added my own CUSTOM directories in all the right places. (I followed the nice picture in the FAQ). I have custom and CLASSIC folders in the same directories.

Since I want to preserve the current "template" I carefully copied the same files from all the CLASSIC directories into the CUSTOM directories. So the CUSTOM directories mirror the CLASSIC directories

I was hoping that after doing all this when I selected my "custom" template the website would look the same as the classic template. but it doesn't some older version of the site is attached to the top.. then the correct page is added on below. The styles aren't right either. hmm

Are there some config files somewhere I am missing? Somehow zencart is deciding to display something different but its not specified in my over ride directories. or I just goofed up
