Re: a few problems with my site

The words TITLE, SITE_TAGLINE are appearing because you've deleted the defines for those constants in your language file meta_tags.php. YOu should restore them so they read something like:

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Cath\'s Hand Crafts');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'Your store tagline');

(note the use of the backslash to 'escape' any apostrophes in your text - that's important.)

If you scroll across that black box at the top, you'll see a bnuch of text that is basically telling you to change the permissions on the file includes/configure.php so it is read-only.

Change the minimum number of letters for the customers name at Admin > Configuration > Minimum Values

Re: a few problems with my site

black box warning on top is regarding your configure.php file located in includes folder , you need to secure that by changing permission to 644 or 444 . change background warning color so you can read the text.

locate following in your css.

.messageStackWarning, .messageStackError {stylesheet.css (line 165)
background-color:#000000;
color:#000000;
}

change background color to something else , like original zc red color :smile:

Re: a few problems with my site

Those lines should have been in the origingal includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

If you have an override copy of that file, it should be includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php

Check those files for the presence of the define statements for TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE - from your site, it doesn't look like those defines exist at all, so you need to add them into your override file
