Need help with Main Page

I have followed directions and looked for every header file in my template, but I cannot get the words that I see in my files (and Define Pages Editor) to show up on my main page. Please someone tell me where else I can look.

Also, I cannot find where to change the logo that is displayed with the invoices. WHen I changed the header to display my logo in emails, will that make them ALL use the logo I uploaded? I know that that still is not the same as the invoices, but can't seem to find the master spot for them.

Thanks in advance. My under construction website is:

Re: Need help with Main Page

You have a Template Monster template - search for them in the forum to understand some of the issues their templates have; then ask them for help with this issue, as they are known for disabling standard Zen Cart functions in their templates.
Define Pages files will not have any connection to header files.

Re: Need help with Main Page

While I understand now that I got jipped with the quality of MonsterTemplates...I really do think that my problem can be solved...though, what do I really know about coding!??!

My issue is that when I first uploaded the template, the main page loaded with the sample text. I replaced it. (It's been over a month, so i honestly can't remember if it ever showed the replaced verbiage.) All the other pages that I changed by using the Define Pages Editor work. So I don't understand why the main page doesn't.

is there any way for me to find out WHICH header file is being called out when the page loads because there seem to be so many I want to make sure i'm editing the right one.

Is there anyway to restore to default without losing EVERYTHING????

OH, I did talk to them today. After about 30 minutes of telling me that my problem was the logo I replaced their header logo with....he finally said I needed to submit a ticket for my actual problem.

Re: Need help with Main Page

welcome to TM

Steve Miller Band sang a song about these guys,

called take the money and run

Ok

first, you will not be looking for a header file,
so we need to remove that from the vocabulary.

you can turn off the TM template the same way you turned it on,
you will go into the zen cart admin,
go to tools-> go to template manager
choose edit and choose classic

now for a better selection to use that actually work with ZC and are free I would suggest looking at
(sorry, site offline)

Re: Need help with Main Page

ARGH!!!! Thanks. Really I mean it. I'm just so upset (not just because i threw away that money) but because my old site is being turned off on the 31 cuz I was done except for the main page verbiage!!!!! Now I have to almost start over.

If I go and find a template I like, how can I move my database over? Do i just use FTP and move the whole thing at once? And....what exactly is my database that I need to move!?!?!

TIA---

Re: Need help with Main Page

You don't have to move your database or files to a new template - you just install the new template in your existing site. You don't even have to delete the TM template; you can have several different ones installed, and activate whichever one you want.
