If you're a developer and you're trying to edit any pgm-*.php files, keep in mind that these files exist in two locations.

Master Location Gets copied to... (a.k.a. "docroot location")
client_files/base_files public_html
client_files/calendar public_html
client_files/demo_include.php public_html/media
client_files/demo_include.php public_html/media
client_files/newsletter public_html/subscription
client_files/photo_album public_html
client_files/secure_login public_html
client_files/shopping_cart public_html/shopping
client_files/statistics public_html

When you log-in to manage your website with Soholaunch Pro Edition, the files in these directories get copied from the master location to their docroot location.

This being the case, you can approach modification of these files a couple of different ways.

Recommended: Work on the the copy of the file in the docroot location. That way you just have to upload it and refresh to see your changes applied. Just make sure that you don't log-in to the Soholaunch admin tool while you're working on it because the original master will get copied to the docroot location as normal and over-write your modified file. Then when you're done with your modification upload your modified copy to overwrite the master file in client_files.
