OK so I found where they are... but how do I get to them! lol
Thanks everyone!

includes/languages/english/index.php — Line 56

Repalce:

  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.'); 

With:

  define('HEADING_TITLE', ''); 

stupid question... but how do I get to index.php to edit it?

Use the search feature if hosted on your own pc, or use an FTP client (if hosted on a remote server) to navigate through the pages.

This is why I'm so what confused I think lol I paid someone else to organise the site. He is hosting it in America... so I don't have any files. What should I do? I've heard of FTP should I download a free FTP and then.... what?

Cheers, appreciate your patience! :blush:

You need to find out how to access your site via ftp. You'll need ftp software, a login url, username, and password. If your server account has FTP built into it, or a file manager interface, you can do it that way too, but you'll need access to the control panel for the account.

Then you can download the file, make changes, and upload the modified copy.

HTH,

Cheers, I've been in touch with him and he is going to e-mail the details over to me sometime over the weekend.

:)

I have the ftp details and have found the place I need to go but it doesn't allow me to change it directly?

I downloaded coffee cup ftp prog. I entered the ftp:// address I was given with the username and password but it says "are you sure you are connected to the internet"

I want to sort this out, I read about how annoying it is for you lot to continue to answer the same questions

How do I Change the Congratulations! Message?

If you want to change the Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution? Text with your own open the includes/languages/ENGLISH/index.php file and find the following code:

// This section deals with the "home" page at the top level with no options/products selected
/Replace this text with the headline you would like for your shop.
For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'/
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');
} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {
// This section deals with displaying a subcategory
/Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For
example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'/
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');
}

Replace the text starting Congratulations with your own text. Make sure that the single quote marks are not left out, save the file and upload to your server.

BUT I need to know how to upload files lol

Instead of Coffee Cup - get filezilla and then follow this tutorial - http://www.homebusiness-websites.com/myarchives/2005/04/filezilla_basic.html

Brill! I've removed the congrats message!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I can start tarting up the site now that is sorted
