override is not working why?

Hello.
using toturial, created a directory called custom in /include/template/
copied both images and css folder there , i can chose the new tempate from admin panle .
also i created a folder in /includes/languages/ and called the same as my template folder . and copied the english.php there .
now i need to remove the congradulation, you have ..... from index .. so as per tutorial , i created a folder in /include/language/english/ and named it same as my template " custom " copied index.php there , modified this file , but changes is not taking effect. still is showing the same stuff on my main page..

in toturial was mentioned that i have to only move files that i modify to folder that is in /languages/english/custom .. so this way zen cart will over ride the core file and uses the modifed one in custom template.. so why mine is not showing..

Thanks for any help

Yes, changes to the default index.php language file would go in:

/includes/languages/english/custom/index.php

Re: override is not working why?

What version of Zen Cart are you using? Is it an upgrade?
Which contributions have you installed?

Re: override is not working why?

are "any" of the files you put in your /includes/languages/english/custom folder being loaded properly?

Files that are typically edited and put in the override folder include index.php, meta_tags.php, header.php etc
