changing description?

[gamenet]

How do i change the description. when i typed in gamenet.net.au. (see attachment). i have changed the title, but i do not how to change description, thanks

This would be in the file includes/languages/english/YOUR TEMPLATE/meta-tags.php. If you don't have the file in that location it is a good idea to do so by creating the correct over ride folder /YOUR TEMPLATE/ and copying the file from includes/languages/english/meta-tags.php

Hope that helps!

thanks. i have looked through that file and experimented with all the fields however still nothing changes. could you please be more specific to what part i have to change for example.

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'Hardware & Video Games - Australia, buy online');

I know that changes the tagline.

if you could do that. then that would be great!

thanks!

Try this one :

define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION', '');

Type your description between the two ''

Anytime you're making changes in files, and not seeing the changes on the site, it's either because:

- Your edited file isn't actually being uploaded because of file permissions issues.

- You're uploading the edited file to the wrong place. In your case, it would go in the includes/languages/english/theme212 folder.
