    Default Adding About Page and other content, without plugins?

    A while ago I killed the about_us page and now I need it back and can't even remember if it's a define or ez page or if there was even a default one to begin with. Help?

    You can certainly build an About Us page with an EZ-Page. Many people also use a plugin though. There are two:

    Default Re: About page

    I created an ez page called about_us but it didn't get listed anywhere on the page. EZ pages are on in layout controller. I tried switching left/right to no avail.I'm guessing I turned something off early on...

    Ideally, I would like it to appear at the top of the Information pages.

    Default Re: About page

    By default the information sidebox only shows Define Pages. But you can certainly add to the list of pages shown.
    Instructions are here:

    Default Re: About page

    I created define_about_us.php in /includes/languages/english/html_includes/responsive_classic/ and it shows up in the editor but not under information in the page as I would expect.

    Take a look at https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/sideb...ation_sidebox/

    You need to do more than just make one file.

    In other words, you can't just create a new define page in the html_includes folder - the define pages are displayed within an infrastructure that includes a number of files that build a page.

    You can create a new *EZ Page* and just display that. But if you want to use a define page, you'll need to use the rest of a plugin that creates the page, like the two plugins I linked above.

    Default Re: About page

    Thanks to both of you. Yes I remember from my previous store. I'd like to have it in the information section so I'll endeavor to create the necessary config to get it in there. Besides, I created an ez page and it wouldn't display- as mentioned above I suspect I did something to disable ez pages on the main page.

    For the record, I was look at response /10 in this thread which implies it pretty easy:
