Hi,

 

Below is the code from header_tags.php file. Please can someone help and show me where the Title, Description & Keywords go and if I need to edit anyother text?

 

Thanks in advance!

Could be wrong, but going from memory, you need to edit your actual products individually, either by using the admin if you have this extra installed, or by going into your database and adding meta descriptions for each item. If none have been added, the DEFAULT will be used for each one - so I suggest putting a keyword rich default into your header_tags.php file for wehn you haven't got round to doing each product so if the robots visit you are still covered.

 

For your static pages, you need to copy the examples already shown in the file so that a unique tag shows on each page - i.e. conditions.php, checkout.php, and all other pages that you have in your main catalog directory. If you dont define for a specific page, the default tags will be put in.

 

Hope this helps!!
