having trouble trying to add a logo

[snarfy]

I’ve just looked at the original Zen cart that I downloaded and it’s the same, the header.php isn’t there but there is the empty.txt document, so I’m guessing that I haven’t done any thing wrong?

Can I just upload the header.php file from Includes/Languages/english/ from the original? Zen cart on my computer to Includes/Languages/Classic

Or will this be messing things up,

You can, but you don't need to unless you're changing its contents.
If you're going to alter it, then yes, make a copy of the original version of the file, and place it in your own custom template override folder ... as described in the FAQs:

I’m now a little confused I’ve been reading about this for two days and still cant find the answer,

You said
“You can, but you don't need to unless you're changing its contents”

well this is my point the file that I need to change isn’t there all thats there is an empty text file empty.txt
is this right

Since you've decided to use the "classic" folder as your template, then yes, you'll have to copy the indicated file into the 'classic' folder, and make your changes there.

My point was ... the file would only be in the 'classic' folder if you were using 'classic' as your template and if you'd made changes to the file. Otherwise the original master file is used (ie: the one in the /includes/languages/english folder) ... as outlined in the FAQs.

So ... yes ... make a copy of the /includes/languages/english/header.php file and save it to /includes/languages/english/classic/header.php ... and make your changes there.
