Where is my index Title & Meta Tags

[Guest]

I have a typo in my meta description. When I discovered it a few months ago, I figured I'd just fix it. Well, 3 months later I still can't find it. I checked just about every file possible. I edited that before. Very strange. I do have the seo contribution so I can do my product pages well, I just can't find them for my main page.

 

Can anyone help me and point out what file it SHOULD be in. I thought index.php but I was wrong. I also tried applicationtop and others. help!

If you can backup your site to a folder on your local PC.

 

Google "Agent Ransack", and download/install it.

 

It's a free search utility.

 

Use it to search your web site files.

 

That's how I find things in my files.

I hate downloading stuff, it's a great idea though. Anyone else have any ideas?

An alternative, albeit a bit "clunky" but you don't have to download anything.

 

FTP all your site's files into a folder on your PC.

 

Make a file using Notepad on your PC. In it place this text:

 

find /I /N "FILENAME_DEFAULT" *.php | more
pause

Save it as findme.bat

 

Place a copy of it in every folder of your site you want to search in. Then <double-click> it to "run" it.

 

In my example, just replace the text between the quotes with what you want to search for. My example searched for the string FILENAME_DEFAULT

 

I tried this on my PC and it worked good.

 

If you wanted to have it "pipe" the output into a file instead of displaying it on the screen, it would be something like this:

 

find /I /N "FILENAME_DEFAULT" *.php > foundit.txt
pause

That does the search, but redirect all output into the file "foundit.txt" that you can open with Notepad to see where the string was found.

 

According to what I can find out, you can't make it search subfolders, that's why you need a copy of it in each folder you want to search. Maybe someone reading this will have a better idea for you.

 

This uses the DOS "find" command to search for text in files.

 

Have you tried FTP'ing your files to your PC and using the find function in Windows?

:unsure:

 

It wouldn't work for me most times, that's why I sought an alternative.
