Meta Tags - Defining Issues

**shags38** · 21 Oct 2018, 02:52 AM

v1.5.5f ... PHP 7.1 ... template: westminster_new .... site url: https://www.harmonyball.net.au/

I am experiencing problems with defining meta tags in admin > catalogue > categories/products using the action buttons for a product on an open categories page.

I can select the meta data I wish to show using the radio buttons and then save but then returning to that meta data define button for that product all radio buttons are reset to default.

The resultant issue of this inability to modify meta data is that EVERY selection is showing up in the source code for a product in <head><title> all meta data showing</title>

Additionally a bunch of meta data including the meta title of every category is showing up in <meta name="keywords" content= and all the meta title data is showing in the <meta name="description" content=

So all of this overuse of meta data is being read by the bots and cannot be doing the SEO / SERPs of the site a real lot of good.

This is happening on 5 sites upgraded to 1.5.5f and PHP 7.1 - on one site I went to admin > catalogue > product types > product general and changed configuration so that only product name was set to true. I did this to see if it made changes to the <head><title>....</title> and it did not change it at all.

I can only assume that a plugin I have loaded is interfering with the meta data settings, or I have mis-configured something along the way or that there is an unlikely hiccup with the system with the combination of 1.5.5f and PHP 7.1 ..... ????

So I am looking for some assistance please

The text in red color is unwanted and is likely to be perceived as spammy keyword stuffing by bots - I am not sure why it is being called.
