To edit the header and footer template for your site, follow these steps.

1. Find out the name of the theme you are using, for example: simple_white
2. Browse to the simple_white folder in /themes/main/simple_white/custom_templates
3. Look for any of the following templates:
   1. tpl_header.php
   2. tpl_footer.php
   3. tpl_checkout_header.php
   4. tpl_checkout_footer.php
4. If any of those files are used for that theme and are there, you can begin editing them.
5. If not, you will need to browse to the following folder to copy them first:
   
   /system/application/views/main
   
   
6. Make sure to copy all 4 files, as the checkout area uses different header/footer files than the regular site.
7. Copy them back to your custom_templates folder for your theme.
8. Start editing them.
9. Once you are done, upload them back to your site.
