    First -- deep breath. *LOL*

    Second -- what's your link?

    Third -- can you log into admin? If so, try switching back to the classic template. If it works, you know the problem is with your custom files and you can try overwriting them with back-ups.

    I hope you have a back up file of meta_tags.php if so simple place the file in the directory listed below
    includes/languages/english/
    When you do that get done we will tell you how to solve your other problem
    good luck

    Start with a "fresh" download of ZC extracted on your computer.

    Try from THAT rewriting the following files to your server:

    /includes/languages/english.php
    /includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

    I would suggest deleting them totally off your server before replacing them.

    And stay with the "classic" template while doing this. Try to get the classic template "debugged" first before backtracking to fix your custom template.

    And are there any other files you might have overwritten in the process? Replace them from your "fresh" download and see if that helps.

    perfect!! i had copy on computer so i deleted the english.php and meta_tags.php from host then uploaded them from computer...thanks a bunch

    so do i understand that there is and should only be 1 english.php file? and it has to be in includes/language? if i want to overwrite soething in it i can rewrite and save to custom folder?

    and do all items come from language/english/meta_tags and not language?/custom/meta_tags?

    The master language file exists like this:
    /includes/languages/LANGUAGE_NAME.php
    or
    /includes/languages/TEMPLATE_NAME/LANGUAGE_NAME.php
    There is only ever *one* file in that folder ... ie: english.php
    All others are ignored.


    The page-specific language files exist like this:
    /includes/languages/LANGUAGE_NAME/page_name.php
    or
    /includes/languages/LANGUAGE_NAME/TEMPLATE_NAME/page_name.php
    .
