Remove Store Name from <meta name="description" content=

[Podgeminster]

Hi,

The new Zen Cart generated pages of my website are now being indexed by the search engines but I have noticed that when displayed in the list of search engine results, my store name appears at the beginning of every page description.

If I navigate to an individual product and view the page source in my browser, my store’s name is being automatically added to the beginning of the description meta tag as follows:

<meta name="description" content=”>Shop name automatically added here< >Product description here<" />

I’d be very grateful for any suggestions on how to remove my store’s name from the beginning of this meta tag. (I’m using version v1.3.9h)

You must have added it as a domain name somewhere

Use the devekopers tool kit to find where

My store’s name is FGEShop. Before making this post I used the Developers Tool Kit to search ‘FGEShop’ and the only occurrence of ‘FGEShop’ I can find is in:

includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

What is included or how these are assembled for pages is in
/includes/modules/meta_tags.php

So you can create a copy in a folder named for your template there and edit where you do not want it

Look for where the constant named "TITLE" is called
