Title: New theme install adjustment question ....
Post by: boardgirls on September 18, 2006, 07:14:26 PM
In IE, select the view tab, then select source, displays the code. I would like to change a few things like the font style for the main header logo. However, it is in the new theme folder on my server its called index.php -----> I can make the changes I want in notepad, but once I save it becomes a .TXT file no matter what I name it. What would I need to do to make the changes and git her done? Thanx again ....

If I make the changes in notepad it auto saves it as .php.txt  Rather than just .php   ???

When you save as, make sure to save as type "all files" and not "Text documents (.txt)".

Great advise !!! However on our home computer it shows .php, but once I get to the host ftp java platform to transfer it over, it displays it as a php.txt still. I transferred it but saw no changes or glitches either. So I just replaced it with the original to be safe ??? Thxs again by the way !!!

Open up My Computer, then go to Tools -> Folder Options -> and make sure that "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked.  Now you'll see the actual file type for your file.  If the file is named "something.php.txt", you can just right click -> Rename, and remove the .txt part.
