Custom product meta tag does not work

I am not sure if this is the right place to start this thread, I have searched the forum and tried Google, but my problem isn't solved.

So this is my problem, I have a few website in different languages, all upgraded from 1.38a to 1.39h.

They all have the same problem, after adding a few products with meta tag working correctly, the meta tag stops to work, even if I define them in product meta tag.

I can see from the database using phpmyadmin that the meta tag is correct, but the product page still shows the default title, namely product name, price etc.

I tried to switch to the default theme without luck. I also tried to add the meta tag selecting English as the default language, but it did not work either.

Thanks for any help.

  Not my first, and everything's OK except the meta tag for products

1. The URL where this product can be seen in action?
2. What are all the radio-button selections set to in the MetaTags screen for that product, in your admin?

Hi thanks for the fast reply, the URL is here http://www.carddsi.com/r4i-savedongle-p-13.html

I set Product Name to No, Title to Yes, Model to No, Price to Yes and Title/Tagline to No. But when I click update it just does not save the changes I make, it still says Meta Tag undefined. I repeat the process a few times without luck.

I could PM you the ADMIN password if you need more information.

Thanks again for the reply.

That's a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT explanation of the problem vs your first post.

Hi, however it does save the meta tag I enter into the database, I can see it using phpmyadmin.

But the product page in Admin still says meta tag undefined and shows the default meta tag.

So my question is that why the product page does not show the meta tag I save in the database, in stead, it shows the default one?

Thanks

You need to enter something on the keywords and/or description ...
Can't leave it blank, else it has nothing to display, and thus you get the defaults.
