    Default I Need Help Changing META TAGS for Home Page

    This is what it says when I try to find my site online.

    Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
    Zen Cart! : - Article Marketing Service Directory Submissions Search Engine Indexing Social Bookmarking Service Additional Services Local Business Listings ...
    getwebsitetrafficseo.com/ - Cached

    I want to remove this title "Zen Cart! The Art of E-Commerce and change the HOME page Meta Tags. I have read the tutorial over and over again, and though I think I understand what it is saying where do I change the meta tags for the Home Page? In zencart admin panel or in the FTP files? I just don't get it.

    I have went to tools, went to developer tool kit, clicked on the languages thing found the line numbers but you can't change the home page meta tags while in the zencart admin so where do I go to make the changes?

    I looked in the FTP files and there is not a file called meta_tags.php file that I can find anywhere.

    If someone that has done this could you just please provide step-by-step instructions that a layperson can understand it would be greatly appreciated.

    I am so frustrated with this I am not too thrilled over the fact that something that should be relatively simple to do like on other ecommerce sites ... should be so difficult to get to and change. That is where my frustration is at right now. Why can't I find it?

    Please help ... thanks

    PS - I read page 62, 39, 38 and 17 in the tutorial or forum I think and basically everyone seems to have the same issues and yet there are no clear concise step by step instructions. Maybe I am just dense but I cannot find this file shown below to change it and what text editor do I use to make the change?

    includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php file in your text editor.

    Please someone with experience I hope you read this and can help me I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks again

    Open your zen cart folder
    open includes
    open languages
    open english
    find the file meta_tags.php

    make a copy of it, and paste it in your CUSTOM_TEMPLATE folder

    now open the one in your CUSTOM_TEMPLATE (includes/languages/english/CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php) in a text editor - it can be notepad, but better use one like notepad++ (google it, it's freeware).

    Make the changes you need, and upload it to your server.

    Hi keneso ... Thanks for your help ... but when I open the zip file for zencart template I purchased ... I cannot get past the includes folder. The only thing in the includes folder is a template folder, I click on it and it goes to premium 9a folder and inside that folder is files called ... buttons, common, images, css, jscript, sideboxes, templates. There is no file or folder called languages Am I missing something here or looking in the wrong place. If you are in the USA I am willing to renumerate if you can help me get these meta tags fixed. please let me know and I can go to gchat now or by email. Thanks

    I see, then you should look on your server, includes/languages/english
