Meta Tags Being overruled by Includes Modules File

[traders]

I have edited meta_tags.php and it is being ignored. the site is showing HOME_PAGE_TITLE as the title of the page. The meta tags are showing as follows:

<title>HOME_PAGE_TITLE</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS" />
<meta name="description" content="HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
<meta name="author" content="The Zen Cart&trade; Team and others" />
<meta name="generator" content="shopping cart program by Zen Cart&trade;, http://www.zen-cart.com eCommerce" />

I ran a search in developer's tool kit and this data is coming from includes/modules/meta_tags.php

If I try to edit anything in that file, site is inoperative. All I want to to is have the data I entered in meta_tags.php appear. I have never encountered this problem before. Any ideas appreciated.

I just upgraded to 1.3.8 and am having the same issue! The titles are defined in my 'meta_tags.php' file, yet the site title is showing as HOME_PAGE_TITLE

Are any of your meta tags showing up?

I was on 1.3.7 and decided to upgrade. Before I load anything else up I may reinstall and go back to 1.3.7. I have several other sites on 1.3.7 and no issues.

OK, I found a solution on another thread - just add the following lines to your includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php:

// Home Page
define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', 'New Title Between These Quotes'); 

Done and done!

Ok, that fixed just the title. I still have no meta tags. I wanted to enter my meta tags too but those are also being overridden. I may try to use that same script to force those too.

It worked. My meta tags were fine on other pages, just not on home page. I took your solution above and applied it to:

HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS
HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION

etc. and so far so good. Thanks a bunch. I will probably stay on 1.3.8 for now.
