[kevinmc3]

Where/how do I set the Home page/site Title and Meta Tags for the search engines to pick up. ?

might try looking in the
includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

remember to save it to your template over rides folder

[kevinmc3]

where is the page Title set?

I think the title is made up of the page title (line12) and the site tagline (line15).

When the title is generated it puts a comma between the two of these items.

Does anyone know how to remove the comma? - see below

TIA

Thanks Paul,

But, on which page? It's not on the MAIN page in Define Pages.

See what the Merlin guy said above ....

you need to open and then edit the file 'meta tags' with a text editor such as Notepad++

download the file from your host - includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

edit it

upload it back again

(good idea to keep a copy of the original on your server in case you make a mistake)

I'm still trying to find out WHAT page I need to edit for the Site Title??

As Merlinpa1969 & Matchworker said, you need to edit

includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

Edit the first 2 define statements around lines 11 & 14.

NO active variables exist in this file. Site not pulling meta OR title from this file.

It does on my cart

I bet if you right click your site home page and look at the source you will see:

<title>A Test Site, Testing Art of E-commerce</title>
