    Default needing basic installation help for templates

    I am brand new to Zen Cart and I'm having problems with installing a template, Brighton Pets.
    Zen Cart is installed in the /public_html/my_store folder. I use Directnic and they install it for me.
    I have used FileZilla to upload the "includes" folder to what I believe is the root folder, public_html
    I then go to tools >Template Selection >Edit, and the template is not there.

    I also tried putting the "includes" folder into the my_store folder and it works. Which folder does Zen Cart
    consider the "root" folder.

    The "root" folder for Zen Cart is the folder its files and folders sit in; for you it would be /my_store/.

    Unless there is a strong reason to do otherwise, it would be best for you to install or move your Zen Cart into /public_html/ so that visitors to your store only need to enter yourdomain.com and not yourdomain.com/my_store/. It is neater and simpler all around.

    Hi Ken1

    Make sure you have uploaded the following file:

    includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php

    Only after that has been published, can you select the desired template from your admin -> tools -> template selection

    Hope that helps too...
