Changing top navigation to text?

Presently, I have linked categories on the top and left sidebar (which will stay) of my page. I need to replace the linked categories at the top and replace them with a mission statement and can't find this file in e-z pages or layout controller. A sample source code is below (thank you for your help:shocking:):

Admin - Configuration - Layout Settings - Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF to turn the categories off.

You'll need to insert your mission statement text into tpl_header.php.

Thanks, Stevesh.

I tried to add a test statement to my tpl_header.php (found in my template default/common/

...and replaced it on the server and didn't see a change. Perhaps you can guide me regarding placement (line number and code placement for the mission statement). I would also like to make the text white and 12 pt. Where can I add a span class? Thanks! PS. I just purchased the Zen Cart Manual and hope to get u-to-speed soon.

(around line 76)

<div id="tagline"><?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?><h1>test</h1></div>

.mission {font-size: 1.5em; color: #ff0000; text-align: center;}

Thank you, Steve. I followed the steps you outlined and the mission statement is still not showing.http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/images/smilies/blush.gif Here is the text I inserted in my tpl_header.php

I also placed:
.mission {font-size: 1.5em; color: #ff0000; text-align: center;}

at the bottom of my stylesheet.css found in my template...template default...css folder.

Since you're using the Classic template, the edited tpl_header.php file needs to be in includes/templates/classic/common, and you need to add that rule to the stylesheet.css file in the css folder under classic.

Before you do anything else, though, create your custom template:
