Total Beginner. Need help with replacing header for my ebay product template.

Report · Mar 23, 2021

I need help with adobe dreamweaver. I have an ebay template and I just want to replace the header. I can't seem to replace it, only add it on top or below the old one.

I attached a screenshot. How can I replace the blue and red double line banner with the tester banner? I still want the tabs to appear on the tester banner.

Would appreciate any kind of help.

Hi @American5C0B,

Where did you get the eBay template? Did you read the accompanying documentation or "read me" file for instructions on how to use it? If no instructions came with it, ask whoever you obtained it from how to change the banner image.

My guess without looking at the source code is that you must replace your current banner image with one that's remotely hosted on your web server.

EXAMPLE:

I also suggest you look at design & listing tools specifically aimed at eBay sellers like these:

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. About replacing my current banner image with one that's remotely hosted on my web server, how do I do that? Is is a matter of deleting the old one and uploading the new one? Not that simple, right? Please tell me how.

Ask your web hosting provider for instructions on how to connect to your server.

Use Dreamweaver or a dedicated FTP client like FREE FileZilla to manage files on your server.

In DW, go to Site > Manage Sites > and enter or browse to your local site folder's location on your primary hard drive. For example, C:\MyTestSite\

Click on Servers tab and enter the server log-in credentials that your web host gave you. See screenshot.

Hit the TEST button to confirm it works. From your Files Panel (F8). Select the image you want to upload to your server and hit the UP arrow.

Ignore my last post, I was able to connect to the server. So what is the next step? The new image for the banner is now in the local files. What do I do to replace the old one with the new one?

Report · Mar 23, 2021

I logging in and all but am getting this error:

Is the root directory I inputted okay?

Report · Mar 23, 2021

Based on your screenshot, nothing is correct.

Who is your web hosting provider?

Did you contact your host to get the proper server log-in details?

I was able to log in now. You can ignore that part. Now, how do I replace the current banner I have (That double stream red and blue) to the one I am pointing to with a pink arrow?

Report · Mar 23, 2021

Open your code and change the img src from old image to the new image on the server.

Save changes (Ctrl + S) and upload file to server to test.

If I may ask, can you show me how to do that?

Report · Mar 23, 2021

I can't be more specific without seeing your code.

Please upload your Template and supporting files to your remote server.

Post the URL here so we can see it.

It's impossible to perform forensics without seeing the online page.

This is NOT a question about using Dreamweaver. It's a question about a specific eBay Template. As I said at the beginning, contact whoever created this eBay Template and ask them how to what you want to do. Or hire an eBay Template expert to design you a custom template you can use.
