    I believe you do need to change the name of the admin folder to prevent that message from appearing, but you want to do that anyway, for security reasons. It's really pretty simple:

    Change the name of the 'admin' folder.

    Open admin/includes/configure.php and change the three (3) places where it says 'admin' to the new name of your folder.

    Save the configure.php back to admin/includes, overwriting the existing file.

    The security patch ZIP file was updated a couple times. Perhaps you got an earlier edition of the file that didn't contain the updates.
    It's easy to fix that:
    a) clear the browser's "temporary files"
    b) re-download the patch zip file
    c) unzip
    d) apply the patch as if it was the first time you were doing it.
    There's only a few files in it to deal with, so will only take a couple minutes.


    Renaming your Admin is still very important, but is unrelated to the version number message.

    Could i just install the security patch & leave the Admin Folder, or do i have to rename admin to get rid of the message "New PATCH Available: v1.3.8a - patch: [1] :: Important Security Patch "

    as DrByte mentioned. renaming your admin folder is unrelated to version / update message you get in your admin. download the patch again as this one has been updated to also deal with version message and reapply the patch .

    I installed the patch on June 22nd, renamed admin directory today (july 1) and am still getting the new patch message. Patch is current version per security thread. Do I still need to reinstall?

    I have downloaded and installed the patch, there only seems to be one version available, but after unzipping it looks like it includes at least one file that was updated July 25. I have tried reinstalling a couple of times, I have changed my admin folder, etc. I still get the message "New Version Available v1.3.8a :: Important Security Patch" and the "Download Here" link leads me to the exact same file I already patched. So I try again... Still see that message! How do I make it go away? Again, I have installed and reinstalled the patch files multiple times.

    What version of Zen Cart are you using? The message will not go away if you're not using v1.3.8a and the security patch. If you have an older version installed then ... well ... the message is correct.

    One of the problems I ran into which made the red error message stay on top and which made my online catalog page become blank is that I installed the patch files into INCLUDES, not ADMIN>INCLUDES.

    The file names are all the same, so it's an easy mistake to make. It was when I moved the output.php that the catalog page went blank.

    So make sure you're copying the files into the include directory in your ADMIN directory (or whatever directory you changed admin to).

    Now I get my catalog page and the red error message goes away.
