Meta Tag problems since upgrading to 1.3.8

[labob246]

I have the HOME_PAGE_TITLE appearing as the browser title. I have read a few threads regarding this, but still to no avail. In fact, line #s are mentioned that don't even exist in my meta_tags.php file. I have the current meta_tags file shown below in both the includes/languages/english and the includes/languages/english/custom folders and I still have the problem.
Please any help would appreciated as I still have no idea what the heck is going on. My site is www.chicagolandslotcars.com

The language file content you just posted is not based on v1.3.8. It's from an older version.
You need to merge your changes with the v1.3.8 version of that file, and upload the modified new version to your server.


This suggests to me that you've not merged all your customized files' changes during your upgrade ... so you may also be missing other updated features.

Yes you were absolutely right. Thank you very much. I have found multiple areas where I must have overwritten new code with old version code. Sorry about posting this questions multiple times, I goofed and couldn't see how to delete my second post.

Thanks again.

Yay!!!!
It took hours but i've done. Pheww

Download and install WinMerge (a Windows file-comparison tool).
Drag your customized file into one side of the program, and the correct original Zen Cart version of the file into the other side.
Then reconcile the differences.

If there is an easier way to merge files or indeed identify files in need of merging please advise. It would be really great to correct errors before i fall over them :)

Many thanks

Yikes. Maybe there *isn't * an easier way.

I find the task a bit daunting myself.

Ok, I've followed all the steps above, and still have the "HOME_PAGE_TITLE" issue (and it's completely isolated to the home page, the others seem to be fine.

*grumble*

any clue what I've missed?

How many files do you have named "meta_tags.php"? (check using developers toolkit). What are their names/paths?
Which file did you make the changes to?
What's the name of the template you've currently got active?
