[Duplicate] Blank meta tags (1.3.8a)

**Alex Clarke** · 8 Oct 2008, 04:04 PM

I just set the meta tags (title, keywords and description) for a category on my site. These changes were made via the Zen Cart Admin.

Since I was only testing things I decided to remove my changes. I simply deleted the title, keywords and description entries and hit the save button.

Then, when I refreshed my site I noticed that the category page had blank meta tags. All other category pages and non-category pages display their meta information correctly.

So, this appears to be a bug.

Apologies if this has already been reported - I did have a quick search before posting, but found no similar issues.

There is a little bug on the meta tags for Categories and Products where the blank records are not being removed ...

If you would look at the:

Known Bugs with v1.3.8 thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82619

You will see the two posts to correct this ...

You could then edit the Product or Category meta tag and it should clean it up and really remove it on the update ...

Thanks for the quick reply Ajeh!

Wait until you read my other 'bug report' post...

I think it's best that I add the known 1.3.8 bugs thread to my favourites.

Thanks for the help.

Regarding the Categories Meta Tags cannot be removed once added fix....

What exactly do we change here?
I dont have the // eof: categories meta tags in my categories file
I do have the // bof: categories meta tags so i know where it starts but I want to be careful here since I have other mods like short descriptions and uri redirect...
