For those of you still viewing this post looking for answers I found it:

 

Some of us have tried the admin panel only to find out that no option was given to search for a string or "look for"  about us. It only allowed to save the key in LANGS. This is no good.

 

Here's the solution:   Login to your cpanel. follow the steps below:

1. Open the LANGS folder.

2. Make a copy of the PHP file by right clicking and choosing copy :  lang-en.php ( dont just edit this file) make the copy first.

3. rename the copy LANG-EN2.php and place it in a new folder. This folder can be a haven for php files not being used. NOTE:  The reason you named it Lang-en2.php is so that php doesn't read it

4. Now go back to the langs folder and open it. Left Click on lang-en.php so its highlighted. Then click text editor. Its easier and faster then code editor [ not html editor] this is php! Most cpanels should have this option.

It will open the editor :   Scroll down and you will see this code.....

    '_ABOUT_US' => '<div class="about_us_cont">
<div class="about_us_snippet">                               

                             " The about us content you want to change is directly after the code"

                   Start editing the About us content. Happy editing.......when done click save changes

                   Same can be done for FAQ and terms of use. just scroll down to edit them. but read below before you do cause you want to make sure your changes were correct.


Important  php refernce info below:     dont pass this up. It will help upon a problem.

Do not delete any div tags that look like this:    <div>   or </div> or <br> or anything in brackets unless it is a boonex href link. Those links lead to this boonex site and are advertising only. You can get rid of that because its not needed for ABOUT US page on your site.  Yes basic knowledge of html and php may help but just look at it. its pretty simple to figure out for those who dont know.

After saving changes. Go test the changes on the site by viewing it. You may encounter an error message if a bracket was deleted or you did this:

           example:   sally's                                           apostrophes always kill beginner php coders! 

          This mistake should be corrected like this:     Sally\'s.  Notice the ( \ ) after the y.


Error message will look like this: 

                            parse error, unexpected T_string, expecting (\') in XXXX.php on line 445 

Its telling you what should be there.  (\') on line 445 is where your problem is. open code editor to fix it.

Go to line 445 and fix the problem . Voila! you got it.

This is the most common problem when editing just text. 

 

Hope this has helped. If it hasn't maybe i or any experienced php coder can help. 

Plan your work and work your plan! Always remember and never forget!
