I lost my website theme do to a hard drive crash so I am trying to re-make the theme. I did this so long ago I have forgotten half of what I did!!

How do you change the header text (My Shop) that comes with the theme package, to be your text, the name of your shop?

I see in the navigation bar where you play with the font, but no way to change the text.

I think you can only change the font, size, color and position in Designer. You would use SC Creator for your actual text. So get it looking how you want in SCD then in Creator when you type in your header text you'll see it with the choices you made in SCD.
Takes a bit to get used to going back and forth between the 2 programs :P

Well, I did some looking but I do not see where I change the text in the header. I had it on the old site but can't figure out how to do it now.

You used an image of text for your header.;) Or you could un-click the hide text box on the header properties font tab.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

You can add code to the header or footer, but Header Text is entirely something different.

Well that's just silly!!
Why would I want the header text to say the name of my shop when the logo that I added already does that??? Why not give us the opportunity to change this text to say what we want, like a tag line, etc.

You can do that. This is what Shopping Cart Designer is for. I think you keep forgetting which program to use for which feature. Time to re-read the manuals Steven. :)

Scott, that was my origianl question; How do you change the header text in SCDP? I cannot figure out how to change it. You can hide it, but you can't change what it says, "My Shop"

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
