I really don't think it has anything to do with the title being too short. I've only opened the file with the text editor UltraEdit and it shows just like I mentioned before <title>S&A</title>

Anyway, my php knowledge is very limited, but I think I found the reason. In line 79, the title line is not being sanitized (not sure if that's what you call it).

PHP Code:

---

$content["title"] = '<title>' . STORE_NAME . '</title>'; 


---

Shouldn't it be like below?

PHP Code:

---

$content["title"] = '<title>' . zen_xml_sanitizer(STORE_NAME) . '</title>'; 


---

I tried that, and it results in:
<title>SA</title>

While this is good and eliminates the error reported by Google, how can I get it to work properly and output <title>S&amp;A

Read carefully. Each one is different. One is for products, one for downloads and the other for documents.
