My very first post. First I'd like to say a great big giant THANK YOU to everyone who has made ZenCart the amazing product that it is!
I'm still customizing the site, current location is http://blog.stevebudan.com
My index page and (without extensive investigation) non-category pages all seem to have a "< meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" / >" which I'm thinking is not ideal.
My category and product pages do NOT have the robots meta tag, which is what I want.
The tag seems to come from includes\init_includes\init_add_crumbs.php
near the top around line 20 is this code
this sets $robotsNoIndex = true; then in includes\templates\template_default\common\html_header.phpPHP Code://echo 'I SEE ' . (int)$cPath_array[$i] . '<br>';
if ($categories->RecordCount() > 0) {
$breadcrumb->add($categories->fields['categories_name'], zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=' . implode('_', array_slice($cPath_array, 0, ($i+1)))));
} else {
// if invalid, set the robots noindex/nofollow for this page
$robotsNoIndex = true;
break;
}
we have
which seems to output the robots, noindex tag.PHP Code:<?php if (defined('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP') && in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",constant('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP'))) || $current_page_base=='down_for_maintenance' || $robotsNoIndex === true) { ?>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
<?php } ?>
so I don't understand the code completly, I'm not sure what exact condition sets $robotsNoIndex to true, but the condition seems to be if we are not on a category page or one of its sub-pages.
Finally my questions
1) is this the source of the robots, nofollow, noindex tag?
2) if it is how do I get rid of it?
3) if it's not, how can I find where it's coming from, as I would really like all of the site indexed not just the category and product pages.
Thanks in advance!

PS
It's not a "test" site. When customization is finished it will be moved to it's permanent home (www.budanart.com).
