I need help on installing template

I'm new to zen cart and I've installed a new template but none of the menus are showing up. I entered in the source codes but they're not working. Do I need to upgrade my zen cart? The version I'm using is v1.5.1. Thank guys! Here is the link to my site guppyauto.com.

You would be advised to upgrade to the latest version if you are doing any upgrade. It's been four years for 1.5.1 and that's a long time for software. BTW, site is not working.

How do you upgrade zen cart in file zilla. I don't know which folder to add the new zen cart upgrade. Can anyone help me?

I got it working and I clicked to begin install on the Zen Cart, but now I'm on a system inspection page and it says Gzip Extension is PHP is not enabled. What is that? And how do I find it and enable it? Thanks.

Thanks! You're the best.

I installed the my zen cart engine successfully but my store isn't showing up on my web address. I'm using Hostgator and I put the files in public_html, but how do I make zen cart store visible to the public? I'm an idiot but I'm so close.

In FTP, did you use a foldername under public_html to store your Zen Cart files? If so, you'll have to add that foldername to your domain URL.
ie: https://www.example.com/thefoldername

If ZC is going to be your actual site (recommended) then it's best to install the files directly into public_html instead of in a sub-directory.
ie: https://www.example.com

Okay, I did the second option and now I understand what a sub directory is. I fixed it. Thanks to you.

On that note, and for another term that it would seem is not known/understood. In the condition of public_html/foldername, as you now know foldername is a sub-directory of public_html and public_html is the parent directory of foldername. Terms like these may make your way forwards a little easier to understand, a little surprising to not already know, but guess anything's possible. :)

I forgot about these terms, thanks. I'm having issues with my site after I installed the car template to Zencart. How do I move or adjust my images around that are on my 4 banners on the front page? Also, is there a way to fix the text on the nav bar? My webpage doesn't look similiar to the template I bought off template monster. You can see the category on the left is missing a gray box. my website is guppyauto.com.

You will need to take that up with template monster. IMHO, the only thing pretty about their templates is that they cost a pretty penny to maintain and adjust. Can't think of anyone who doesn't significantly raise their fee when asked to "adjust" a TM template.
Time to make them earn their money.
