 * in the titles.php change:
 * `return eregi_replace('<title>[^<]*</title>', '<title>'.$title.'</title>', $head);`
 * to
 * `return preg_match('/<title>[^<]*</title>/', '<title>'.$title.'</title>', $head);`

 * pcaines, that doesn’t work for me.
 * This does:
    Change: `return eregi_replace('<title>[^<]*</title>', '<title>'.$
   title.'</title>', $head);`
 * To:
 *     ```
       $pattern = '/<title>([^<]*)<\/title>/is';
       $replace = '<title>'.$title.'</title>';
       return preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $head);
       ```
