Nope, did not work for some reason, my css skills are too lackluster to change stuff, I suppose. Clearing browser cache did nothing. I don't know if this is correct or not, but are you just supposed to dump the embed code onto the body section or...?

If it does not work, hopefully I can just manually add the font to each specific place I need it, like the carousel, or the about us page. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to tinker, and exam's rolling around the corner. My dad's dream online store probably will have to wait... apparently he didn't know making a website was hard.

Thanks. It works fine now. 

So, there were a few forum posts regarding this issue, but none of them fixed my problem. On the main page (default template), there is a category dropdown menu. And you would think that you can just add a category or a subcategory to it.

So, you make a category, and it tells you that, in order to use it, you need to add it to the layout of the page. Fair enough. So you head to the Layout tab, and...

yeah, what am I supposed to do here  ? I can delete, reorder, and edit the html of the blocks that allow it, switch up the other pages too I guess, but none of them add the category to the dropdown menu. None of the solutions from the forum posts worked for me, so I thought to post again. Sorry for posting for the second time so soon after the first one but I am at a loss here.

So, Novator (the default template), has a block on the main page (Novator Main Page Carousel).
Since "SEO Friendly" and "Fast Loadnig" are probably not what you would want on a storefront, I went about editing the html, unfortunately, just replacing the image seemed to break the carousel (the image appeared, but the page just plain broke, didn't happen on the old default template though.). Is there any intended way to do this?

On another note, while I don't have a problem with it right now, I also don't know how to change the position of the text. Only being able to change the text itself isn't really helpful and basically makes it look like I just modified a generic html template I downloaded off the internet (ok that's a bit harsh, sorry).

So, uh, how do you customize the main carousel? The AbanteCart documentation and YouTube channel don't seem to contain any information on this, last time I checked.

Thanks, although it did not work, though that could be a problem on my end. Will check again in a bit.

OK, where to use the CSS code?

This is illustrated guide for custom AbanteCart template development 

Before you begin template development we suggest to review basic architecture of AbanteCart. If you developed templates for other web applications before, you might find some similarity as well as new concepts.

As noted in many places AbanteCart provides sophisticated engine for extension development. It is suggested to develop template as extensions.
Although, you can edit core template to get desired result, keep in mind that some files might be replaces with future upgrades.  If you create template as extension all your changes are safe.

More about template extension construct is in this document:

Eventhough‎ , it might look like template development is complex, it is actually very easy after you set first exertion up.

Links do not work.

I want to change the default font, I have searched but cannot find option to change font anywhere. Please help.
