    With the templatemonster template you are using there isn't anyway we can help. You or someone has modified some code somewhere and left a php code ascrew.

    I know this template and it is not the fresh install nature to do this so I would suggest replacing tampered files with a new unaltered by you one.

    Play with it long enough and you will break it.

    Look in the Tutorials and FAQs regarding the UTF-8 encoding; your configure.php file and your database don't agree on the encodings.

    Did you manually enter names & descriptions?

    or

    Did you copy names & descriptions from another program?

    It is usually encoding issue, especially when copying and pasting from another program or importing in bulk.

    Is your data setup for UTF8?

    What you mean by "data setup for UTF8" ? in configure.php file in Admin and Includes looks like that:

    // The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.
    // For SQL_CACHE_METHOD, you can select from: none, database, or file
    // If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache
    // or webserver user has write privileges (chmod 666 or 777). We recommend using the "cache" folder inside the Zen Cart folder
    // ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache -- leave no trailing slash
    define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none');
    define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/xxxx/xxxx/xxx');

    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf-8');

    I looked at that post and checked configure.php , looks like that:

    // The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.
    // For SQL_CACHE_METHOD, you can select from: none, database, or file
    // If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache

    // ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache -- leave no trailing slash
    define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none');
    define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/unigall/ftp/cache');

    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf-8');
