I have disabled all banners, yet banners still appear

I have read the FAQ and search the forum... no help. Here is my problem. I have gone to "Banner Manager" and turned off all banners... yet two banners remain visible on my home page. These appear to be default banners associated to the template I am using. Please help me to figure out how to turn these off! Thanks!

Re: I have disabled all banners, yet banners still appear

If you meant the 50% off banner and it is not activated via banner manage, I would suggest that you contact the person who created your template.

You can do a quick fix by replacing the image emeralda_banner1.jpg with one of your choice. Just name your image to the same name.

It seems silly to me that they would build a template that requires that much user involvement.

Re: I have disabled all banners, yet banners still appear

As a last resort, I can effectively remove those two images from your site. It would mean replacing the two images with a renamed clear dot image (similar to the trans_pixel.gif) but in .jpg format.

If you would like to try that while you are searching for the correct resolution, just click on my website and choose "Contact Us". I will rename 2 such images and forward them so that you can replace the large images with a 1 pixel (invisible) image.

Again, this is not the preferred fix but it will work.

Okay, thanks everyone for the help. I guess these images are just part of the template. I can make a new couple of .jpg to replace these if that is the only way! Thanks again everyone.

I got the templates from zen-cart-power.net/zen-cart-free-templates.html
.. but I already replaced the.jpg with something else as an interim solution.

I have one more question.. when you hover over my new JPEGs.. there are messages there from the old images. They say: "Discover your savings" and "free shipping". Which file do these "live" in, and is it as simple as removing them to stop these hover messages? Thanks!

they're the ALT tags for the images. try searching for those words with the developers toolkit in your admin, it'll lay somewhere in your custom template files.
