How Do I Add Text to SPECIALS page?

I need to let the customers know that "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" and would like this to appear at the top of the page under the SPECIALS heading.

You can add your text to includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_specials_default.php, then save it to the proper custom template override folder.

I have been reading about template overrides, but I am too stupid to figure it out.

By that I mean I have edited the file fine, but do not know where/how to put the CUSTOM folder.

Very simple for this case: What is the foldername of your active template? If you really don't know, look at "view source" in your browser and see what the folder paths are for stylesheets.```
includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_specials_default.php

The required folder for your custom template will already exist as```
includes/templates/your_template_name/

so you would save the file as```
includes/templates/your_template_name/templates/tpl_specials_default.php
