Creating a new template, help really needed :0)

Hi, I am a new zenner and I am working my way around the software, slowly lol! :clap:
My problem here though is creating a new template, I have a rough idea what to do but all the info I have looked up online tell me to make a new directory in includes/templates/my_own_template then copy the file includes/templates/template_default/template_info.php to includes/templates/my_own_template/template_info.php and edit it.
That is all fine but I cannot find a templates file anywhere in my includes file. I have looked EVERYWHERE!
Is there an alternative name to templates, an alernative way of doing this or am I missing files????????:blink:
Thanks
Sam :smile:

It would be the 'templates' folder, not file, and it must be there, or your site wouldn't work. Make sure you're looking in the 'includes' folder, and not admin/includes.
