Answer 1

Looks like part of your theme got corrupted or didn't upload properly. It's telling you you're missing some files it's trying to include:

• wp-content/themes/thestore/lib/custom-config.php
• wp-content/themes/thestore/lib/thestore-metaboxes.php

Double-check that those files are there, and if not try re-installing your theme

Answer 2

In wordpress when you include files in functions.php, you must reference the correct filepath, using the builtin get_template_directory() function

include( get_template_directory() .'/file.php' );
