♥raiwa Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 you have to open the files from a local copy in any plain text editor (download/upload via ftp client) or use the file editor in your cPanel. You can not open the files in your browser and edit them. About Me: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/user/249059-raiwa/ Need help? How To Get The Help You Need Is your version of osC up to date?

ArtcoInc Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 @nikks146 1) When you install osCommerce, the default language for the store side is English. However, you can install other languages too. This allows you to have your store in different language of your choice, or have it in multiple languages (beyond the scope of this thread). So, when @raiwa said: 57 minutes ago, raiwa said: edit with a plain text editor the files: includes/languages/english[your_language]/privacy.php includes/languages/english[your_language]/shipping.php he did not *literally* mean includes/languages/english[your_language]/privacy.php If you only have osC configured for English (the default installation), the actual file would be: includes/languages/english/privacy.php If, for example, you had osC configured for German, the file would be: includes/languages/german/privacy.php In other words, you would need to substitute the name of the language(s) you are using on the shop side of osC where @raiwa had [your_language]. 2) You can use any PLAIN TEXT editor to edit the files. Note: it has to be a PLAIN TEXT editor, such as NotePad or NotePad++, and NOT something like Microsoft Word, or Frontpage, or DreamWeaver. Do you have osC installed on a local computer, or on a host's server? If you are testing it on a local computer, editing the local files it easy. If you have the files on a host's server, you can either: a) edit a copy of the file locally, and then upload the edited file to the server, or b) use some other method to edit the file directly on the host's server. You may be able to do that through your host's cPanel, or use a FTP client such as FileZilla to edit the file while connected to the host's server. FileZilla is also a good program for uploading (and downloading) files to and from the host's server. Lastly, make backups and copies of EVERYTHING before you start editing files, and more backups as you continue to change anything! In a different thread, you indicated that you do not know much about HTML, PHP, or CSS. Trying to set up an online store is a challenge, even for experience programmers. While I might suggest an easier 'first project', you can do this if you take it one step at a time. Make extensive notes of everything you do (it's amazing how I can't remember how I did something only a few weeks ago ) HTH Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should show on the same admin page once it is correct uploaded. Try to delete your browsers cache. If everything fails, rename your logo to "store_logopng or the correct extension for your format, delete: " images/store_logo.gif" and upload your logo to that location.
