    Default Change content on main page

    Hi,

    I have searched through the forum for what I am doing wrong but however I try I cannot change the content on the main page of one of the free templates. The fact that I cannot find a post dealing with this specific issue makes me think it is a very easy and obvious task (so I feel a bit dumb...no, more than a bit).

    Anyway, I have been able to make all the changes I have tried so far; like changing product categories and adding new products and images...etc and even changing some of the text on the main page (i.e. "Congratulations, You have successfully etc...)

    But I cannot seem to change the Main page content.
    When I search for the text in the development tool (Have you got yours yet?) I get it showing in 2 spots:
    C:/xampp/htdocs/zen/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/define_main_page.php

    and

    C:/xampp/htdocs/zen/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php

    but if i change the text there and save, it doesnt change it on the main page.

    Heres my directory structure:
    c:\xampp\htdocs\zen\includes\templates\r2r\

    r2r being the name I gave the directory to house my custom template. Off r2r there is, among others, a directory named 'template'.

    Well, I have copied the define_main_page.php file into r2r.
    I have created r2r directories (and copied that file to them) like this: C:\xampp\htdocs\zen\includes\languages\english\html_includes\r2r

    I have tried changing the text in that file all over the place and I can't seem to get it right.

    Can somebody please help me work this out.

    Thanks in advance.

    (I thought the development tool might find the text in the define_main_page.php files I have copied to my custom directory but nope)

    Try this:

    go to your admin panel.

    tools - define pages editor

    select the main page and that will allow you to edit the text that appears on the main page

    Thanks, but I should have mentioned I tried that.

    (tried it before and after I copied the file into multiple directories)

    It doesnt change.

    Any other suggestions?

    Sorry for wasting your time.

    What I thought was text was an image.

    What you said to do worked.

    Thankyou
