Getting Really Frustrated trying to remove "congratulations" message

I have followed the tutorials, most of the site is ready to go. I want to remove the 'Congratulations you have successfully installed Zen Cart' message. I removed the text and left the single quotes. It is not reflecting the change on the site though.

If you followed this tutorial https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=129 it should work. Looks like your template is called 'clean-business' - did you put the edited file in the right override folder?

I have a folder under Clean Business called custom and put the index.php file in there.

your language strcture for the index.php over ride file will be

includes/languages/english/clean_business/index.php

No, the file needs to be in the "clean business" folder. There shouldn't be a "custom" folder under that. Zen Cart won't look in the extra folder. The "clean business" folder IS your custom folder.

It is editted and under the main clean business folder now. Yet it won't work even though the index folder after saving and opening is properly editted.

please follow the exact file structure that I posted above

I did, it crashed my site.

Your site isn't crashed ... it's still accessible on other pages except category listings: http://eurosunday.net/zcstore/index.php?main_page=products_new

That suggests that your index.php language file edits were not correct.

So if I post up my index file script can someone tell me what I am doing wrong

Well, yes, it's easier to see your changes when you post them, rather than guessing.

This is what keeps coming up online

I am having way more problems than I have ever had with any similar system. I can't get a template to cooperate for the life of me, and I now have error messages blocking my store and have to have my site rolling by tomorrow afternoon.

A link to the problem page would get you some help faster, and you did not describe the problem very well for someone to make out what's going on, and including what versions of cart , mods, and software you are running.

Nothing crazy, see my post below. I did what Merlina told me and it went nuts.

Since you don't have a lot of products entered yet, and haven't done much customization, I'd be inclined to start over and re-install.

can you get back to where you were?

nope, can't get the storefront to show now. Don't know why. I reverted everything

http://www.eurosunday.net/zcstore

actually you didnt do what I told you

I said to put your modified index.php language file into

/includes/languages/english/TEMPLATE NAME/

that way it will pull the correct information,

ANY language file that you modify thats normally in the /english/ folder needs to go into this over rides folder.........

there was NO reason for you to even mess with the modules pages to do what you wanted to do,

a quick flip throught the FAQs at the top of the page would have givin you STEP by STEP instructions on removing the congratulations statement,
