Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.HI guys,
I recently updated my websites theme (www.servicescape.in)with the latest update , after it was successfully installed I noticed that the slider had been reset to the template view with dummy text.
so i updated the photographs and replaced the mockup ones with my own, this worked. however when i made the changes to page.tpl.php file to change the text, it did not update on the site and so it is showing my photographs with dummy text.
Please provide some help as this is making my site look bad
All help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sumit

you are absolutely right with your mention but you should have taken a backup of your changes before update procedure. Especially in your case, where you made changes in Corporate Clean's core template page.tpl.php file.
In any case, below is a description of some steps that should be done in order not to happen again something like this.
The Drupal 7 Corporate Clean theme designed having the slideshow functionallity in mind. That's why a special region named "Banner" has been created.
To make things more clear and having a slideshow running out-of-the box just after the theme installation, the slideshow is hardcoded into the page.tpl.php file. Yes, this is not the best approach for production environments. That's why there is an option to disable the hardcoded slideshow through CorporateClean theme settings. So there is no need to edit the page.tpl.php file for that.
In order to configure your slideshow through Drupal's User Interface, you should disable hardcoded slideshow through CorporateClean theme settings, create a Drupal system block, put inside your new block the slideshow markup and place it in the "Banner" region. More Than (just) Themes wiki page or even the page.tpl.php's source code will guide you regarding the actual slideshow markup http://wiki.morethanthemes.com/index.php?title=Corporate_Clean:Demonstra...
