Yes, I lost my daughter. For many years I was "Nicki's Mom" online. Thank you. And I'm so sorry for your loss as well. Yours is newer than mine, but it never goes away.

source file is at my hosting company in my control panel

Right. If you have a regular "cpanel" which most companies use, you can access it through the File Manager. You might even be able to edit it directly online.

Well.... we might be able to work out a separate thing. I don't have any immediate things that I have to do today so I'll give it a shot. I'll get back to you.

Legacy File Manager is awesome in cPanel

Hi JPDeni i have built up the courage to start ,got as far as downloading the Tportal.php file and added the bit you said i am amazed i got that far and did a full back up was going to upload the file and paniced wasn't sure if i have to remove old tportal.php file that is still working on the site and not sure how to place the one i have altered in the rite place i did change the name of the new file to tportal1 should i change it back to original name before uploading ? as you can see i am starting to get myself in a pickle. So i am going to stop tonight while the going is good. Take care.

p.s couldnt not give it a go could i, had to try.

You're doing fine. I understand your nervousness.

Change the name of the file back to what it was. Upload it to your webspace. You'll get a message saying something like "Do you want to overwrite the current file?" Say "Yes."

Good on you for stepping out of your comfort zone!  :up:

Hi JPDeni

In the end i didn't have to do it i found a link that i could use that i could link to from my site to enable people to light candles just for our site, this way i keep the shout box and are able to light candles, but thanks for all your help if anybody else need something like i wanted please pm me and i will give you the link it give you a code and everything, the only down side to the code is it doesn't let people go directly back to your site it doesn't open another window but if anybody could help me with that it would be very much appreciated thanks again JPDeni thinking of you.

[JPDeni]

You should be able to get to your control panel with an ftp client.  ( I use core ftp le)  for host url.  you enter ftp.yoursite.com, and your ftp username, password.   I am only a couple years removed from you in experience.  Sometimes you gotta just, do it!
Good Luck
Peace, God Bless
