rgwhitaker Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I want to remove the "powered by PrestaShop" in the footer of my theme. I've gone into the Admin and de-selected the Display "Powered by PrestaShop" option within the CMS Block module, but it still appears. I've also searched for the BlockCMS.tpl file, but apparently my theme does not have one. Is there any other way to remove that from the footer? Thank you.

vekia Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 or if you don't want to modify code, go to modules >block cms > configure and untick this option: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgwhitaker Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Walidon: I looked at that .tpl file within the /modules folder. Towards the bottom there was this line: {if $display_poweredby}<li class="last_item">{l s='Powered by' mod='blockcms'} <a class="_blank" href="http://www.prestashop.com">PrestaShop</a>™</li>{/if} I removed everything, only leaving the {if $display_poweredby}{/if}. The "powered by PrestaShop" still appears. Vekia: That option is unchecked in my Admin. It still appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgwhitaker Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Vekia: I use a purchased theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 If you can't provide a URL, can you use the Inspect Element browser feature. Right click the "Powered by PrestaShop" and inspect element, let us know what you find. It's coded in the purchased theme somewhere, that should help point you in the right direction.

rgwhitaker Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I don't know what Inspect Element is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Use chrome, and rightclick "Powered by PrestaShop" and then click Inspect Element, you should see a popup at the bottom from chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 please check also themes/YOUR_THEME/modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl file - if this file exists try to remove code from this file 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 please check also themes/YOUR_THEME/modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl file - if this file exists try to remove code from this file Yeah that is where it most likely would be. If it's there then delete that code (make a backup of the file first) and then clear your cache on your browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgwhitaker Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 In Inspect Element, I highlight the powered by text, right-click, then select Inspect Element, all I see at that point is "<p>...</p>". I've removed the information from blockcms and nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 hello can you confirm: - themes/YOUR_THEME/modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl file exists and you changed this file if so, please go to the adv. paramters > performance tab in your back office then clear shop cache and temporarily turn on force compilation then refresh your website front office does the powered by text appear now ?

rgwhitaker Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Vekia: I do not have a themes/YOUR_THEME/modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl file. I don't even have a themes/YOUR_THEME/modules/blockcms/ folder. I DO have a public_html/modules/blockcms folder. Does that make a difference? Should I go ahead and do the rest that you recommended in your last message? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walidon Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 dear rgwhitaker, You definitely have a themes folder in your prestashop installation folder! in your case YOUR-THEME = the name of the theme that you are using. A fresh installation of prestashop has the default theme which can be found in your case in public_html/themes/default/ so to find the appropriate folder yours will be public_html/themes/default//modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl I attached the picture that shows you excactly what to do step1: the root of your prestashop installation where the theme folder is. step2: the theme folder components (you have the default theme and if you have other themes. step3: the modules folder in the default theme. where all the modules of your theme are step4: the blockcms, where the blockcms.tpl is do the same for your current theme if you are not using the deafult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It would be easier if you tell us the folder names within your themes folder. One should say "default" but there is another folder as well, within those folders you will see another "modules" folder. That is where you need to edit the files.

rgwhitaker Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Walidon: I am not using the default theme. I'm using a purchased theme. And on my server, the folder (found off the /public_html folder) is /themes/theme520/modules. For some reason my purchased theme is called "theme520." And off that /modules folder, there is no blockcms folder. Benjamin: If I look on my server, the topmost folder is obviously the /public_themes folder. Within that folder there is a /themes folder. Within the /themes folder are the following folders: /cache /css /img /js /lang /modules Again, within the /public_html/themes/modules folder there is no blockcms folder.

stottycabanas Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I've removed the information from blockcms and nothing happens. Looks like it was there earlier. Could the absence of the blockcms folder be anything to do with this? What exactly did you remove from where? Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgwhitaker Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 OK. I got a new domain name and had some problems at first. If you'd like the URL, please let me know. I'd like to get this resolved, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgwhitaker Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 OK. Here's what I did. (Can someone let me know if I did the right thing?) I simply found the CSS for the entire area for the Powered by Prestashop region and set it to display: none. Is that a good workaround, or is there something better?
