Edit issue on Product Page

That is what I requested the people that did the work before but appears to have not happend so I wasted more than enough money because they would not follow directions.

So what you are saying is to copy all files over the the dev directory and also the database is that correct and then start from scratch updating the dev site prior to shifting over to the live site would that be correct?

I will do that tomorrow or the next day but keep a copy on the server without the htacess folder and would that stop google or not?

In includes/templates/bootstrap/common/html_header.php you can change the robots tag to prevent unwanted indexing

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

Will prevent indexing.

This is what is already in the Live site should that be taken out:

title><?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?></title>
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="L55auhTKpdJpNcdV1JGB9zMvCV77JwRzhz0GevfF">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo META_TAG_KEYWORDS; ?>">
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo META_TAG_DESCRIPTION; ?>">
<meta name="author" content="<?php echo STORE_NAME ?>">
<meta name="generator" content="shopping cart program by Zen Cart&reg;, https://www.zen-cart.com eCommerce">
<?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 } ?>

No, that should not be removed; the lines I've highlighted above are providing that functionality.

The ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP constant is defined in /includes/extra_configures/robots_pages_to_skip.php.

What file or files do I need to change for the dev.outdoorking site. I have copied all the files from the live site to the dev site but now it is bringing up the live site.

I still have to do the database move but wanting to see the dev site is working

[barco57]

did you keep a copy of the dev site config files? use those in the dev site

[lat9]

Ok then how do I stop from being seen. What was in the htacess file was stopping everything and no one could see anything.

That .htaccess change on the dev site most likely limited access to only your IP address and that of the developer who made the change.

And they are located where?

[barco57]

includes/configure.php and YOUR_ADMIN/includes/configure.php

[Bruce1952]

includes/configure.php and YOUR_ADMIN/includes/configure.php

Ok I have shifted the live site to the dev along with the database now.
