What shall I do in my case?

Hello,  a couple of things that may help solve your ongoing issues.

First in your original post you indicated PHP 7.3,  I assumed that was a typo as cart v 1.4.1  only works on 8.2 or 8.3
You can check the PHP recommendations here.

Next,  Gmail and Yahoo both started REQUIRING DMARC be enabled for your site.   Here is the Google article

sorry, i use 8.3 but a mistake been when clicking on numbers.

any suggestion to fix this issue please?

[Noted and SOLVED]

Thank you for suggestion.
Noted and SOLVED

[Can you tell me which file i should edit please ?]

Hello,

I just realized that login page even on AbanteCart demo website has issue with the width and the page scrolling right and left due to the create account button on this link: https://demo.abantecart.com/index.php?rt=account/login when you try access this link on mobiles, however i tried this at least on my mobile which it's screen size 360X800 so you can give it a try and check that too. I tried to find the css style to do some changes but i couldn't find it in the style.css file. Also i tried to use the Google Inspect tool but also I couldn't find it's source location. Can you tell me which file i should edit please ?

Also, could you add the fix to next version so it won't appear once again please?

any updates related to this issue planned maybe for next version ?

Hello.
There are third-party extensions available that can help you achieve exactly what you're looking for.
You might want to check out these two extensions on the AbanteCart Marketplace:
• Facebook Meta Tags – adds proper Open Graph meta tags for Facebook.
• X Meta Tags – specifically for Twitter Cards.

thank you for sharing, what if i don't want to use 3rd parties tools and just wanna edit my template file?

shall i add these tags to each category and product html description section or there is something else could be done and will not be effected or changed when will be a new version upgrade process?

try to remove all messages. i guess nofitication depends on repeating

actually i do this step every time i try something new so that's also passed.

the final solution i did followed as next:

I placed my Gmail email in the extension of forms then store email and activated the Google reCAPTCHA v3 and in the form settings i did as you can see in the screenshot pics and form working fine and emails arriving to my Gmail inbox with all details in the form but the only problems i have now is on admin dashboard there is no notification message telling me there is an enquiry and in the arrival email to my inbox the sender of form's name doesn't appearing in the details, also the sender of orders receiving an email not as a sender of orders but as a web store owner which says You have received an order. I think we are very near to solve these small issues.   

Your contactUs form works as expected.
I created new customer, changed store email to mine
and i got this email to another mailbox address.
See screenshot

i see that you tried the form and here in the screenshot pics the results i got.

[How to integrate meta tags on all categories and products to push sharing function to show the category/product name, image and description?]

Hello,

I already searched the forum but couldn't find a useful solution on:

I edited the head.tpl file and placed the next code but that only will work with the main webpage URL
