Help Diagnosing Variables Names Instead of Labels Please - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hello,

the site i'm working on started showing variable names instead of user-friendly labels (which consequently broke styling), , seemed start doing overnight. last night, uploaded bunch of images had no other major changes before looking @ morning , realizing page titles had switched jpagetitle , modules have had labels changed too.

i ran fpa in attempt diagnose issue, unfortunately, looks use additional guidance. looks there 1 display error, i'm not sure how find or correct it.

development site location: <link removed>

if have joomla installed should run fpa in joomla site directory , ensure full details provided.
there other issues reported including register globals , magic quotes being enabled both of recommended off. display errors can managed within site in global configuration ⇒ server ⇒ error reporting variable , can set maximum, simple or off last being ideal when site in production (live) use.
the zip extension php noted missing , unless handled elsewhere in server configuration might experience issues uploading files site.
max input time set unlimited mean caught infinite loops if errors or script issues arise. ideally should set 60 secs.

we can not see details of database configuration because have not run fpa in correct location.


edit

the actual issue viewed because of missing language (ini) files or corrupt update or issue particular template.

also check hosts have not made changes server.

if happened "overnight" check site has not been "cracked" - make sure there no new users improper permissions , there no obvious "extra" files anywhere.
it may have cleanup of site resolve issue.
but let @ correct fpa first
