FAQ Tips & Tricks

It is a common requirement for shop owners to want additional information pages specific to their shop e.g. pages relating to products or services.

This is easily achieved by making an Info Page - read Info Pages to see how that is done.

It is not necessary but users might want to create a new page to display that new Info Page.

This can be done by creating a clone of an existing information page.

Each page has a main file, a template file and a language file so a clone is made of each.

In this example a new page is made to display a new Info Page (read Info Pages to see how that is done) by cloning the existing privacy.php page.




Main File

  • On your local computer, find and open the downloaded and unzipped (extracted) CE Phoenix folder or download and unzip a new one.
  • Find the privacy.php main file (it is located in the top folder/directory, the same folder that contains the admin directory).
  • Open the file in a file editor to see this:

  • There is only 1 reference to the file name privacy - seen on line 15.
  • Change privacy to the new file name - example is used here just as an example - note: do not use upper case and use an underscore instead of spaces in file names.
  • In the file editor menu, go to and click File → Save as...
  • Enter the new file name (example) and click Save



Template File

  • Now back in the downloaded and unzipped (extracted) CE Phoenix folder, go to /templates/default/includes/pages/
  • Find the privacy.php template file.
  • Open the file in a file editor to see this:

  • There are only 2 references to the file name privacy - seen on lines 13 and 16.
  • Change privacy to the new file name - example is used here just as an example - note: do not use upper case and use an underscore instead of spaces in file names.
  • In the file editor menu, go to and click File → Save as...
  • Enter the new file name (example) and click Save


Language File

  • Now back in the downloaded and unzipped (extracted) CE Phoenix folder, go to /includes/languages/english/
  • Find the privacy file.
  • Open the file in a file editor to see this:

  • Copy and paste the following code before the first language define - so paste into line 12 in the example.
  • Change the text to your requirements.
  • This code will help the search engines to find the new page.
// seo
define('META_SEO_TITLE', 'Example Page Title');
define('META_SEO_DESCRIPTION', 'Example page description of about 30 words');
define('META_SEO_KEYWORDS', 'Example page, search terms, comma separated');
  • Change Privacy Notice to the new page name e.g. Example
  • In the file editor menu, go to and click File → Save as...
  • The popup navigation window should open in includes/languages/english but ensure the file is saved in that location.
  • Enter the new file name (example) and click Save




  • Using FTP software, upload the new files to the host server - ensure they are uploaded to the correct locations.
