meta tags keywords & description are the same

[machoman]

My meta tags keywords & description are the same on my homepage. I tried to find where this is but am having no luck. Check the source here http://www.machomanjack.com/store

They are exactly as the code works... built dynamically from your categories and custom content.... and change according to which page/product/category you're viewing.

What exactly were you wanting it to do? and what did you want on other pages?

[machoman]

It seems all other pages are ok except the homepage (index) I want the description to be the description - not keywords.

Anybody know about this? Im trying to submit to search engines and sites - but I have now correct description. Is there a fix for this?

1. open your /includes/languages/english/YOURTEMPLATE/meta_tags.php

2. add a new line anywhere between the <?php and the closing ?> which says:

define('MY_IMPORTANT_HOME_PAGE_DESCRIPTION', 'blah blah blah blah'); 

(substituting blah blah blah with your preferred home-page-only description, naturally)

3. edit /includes/modules/YOURTEMPLATE/meta_tags.php
around line 138 you have:

      define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', TITLE . PRIMARY_SECTION . str_replace(array("'",'"'),'',strip_tags(HEADING_TITLE)) . SECONDARY_SECTION . KEYWORDS); 

change that to:

      define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', MY_IMPORTANT_HOME_PAGE_DESCRIPTION); 

4. Submit to search engines and watch closely

Worked perfectly - now- can I do something similar for the main page keywords???

Thanx!

Ok... that fixed my problem... well sort of.. the description part worked but the most of the keywords are selected by ZEN... whatever I put in the catorgory menu will show up at keywords... I can add them myself but ZEN just adds them to the end of the ones it put in itself... makes sense ??

Have a look at my site exampe but in this search http://www.submitexpress.com/ go to META TAG ANALIZE and type in my page . www.timeoutmassage.com.au/zen and look at the Keywords... most of them are the menus and MY keywords are added on the end....
I want to add ALL keywords... do not want ZEN to do it for me..

I think this is what you want to do:

Copy it from /includes/modules/meta_tags.php and then create /includes/modules/YOURTEMPLATE/ and upload the modified meta_tags.php file there.
