How to remove the categories?

Hi! Trying to figure out how to remove the category listings from the top of the main page. I do not want it to show there. Also want to know how to remove"Categories" or replace with other text and remove the image that goes along with it. Another thing is how to remove "Sponsors" and the image from the sidebox when I put up a banner ad.

Thanks in advance.

Re: How to remove the categories?

Start by scrolling down this page and checking the similar threads for your first problem - then check out the Tutorials and FAQs. ( Link at the top of this page)

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Replacing the categories text or indeed sponsors just involves editing the words in the english.php file.

Using FTP program go to Includes/Languages/English.php and search within there, Categories is about line 79.

If using a template go to Includes/Languages/Your Template/English.php and do as above.
