Google Webmaster noindex in meta tag error

barco57:

Here is a clue as to what might be different about those two products... What category are they supposed to be in?

Hot damn would ya look at that! Based on the breadcrumbs, they're not in a category! So that's starting to make some sense now. So to avoid Google thinking those links have now jsut disappeared or even worse, are broken, how do I move them to the category they're supposed to be in?

As with most issue pertaining to IT, clearly there's more than one issue here. Assuming the above addresses those two particular products, what was I supposed to do with the meta_tags.php as in what's the default to get proper meta info and furthermore, what should I do with what I have as to not "upset" google too much here? I thought that file was the main file to set page title and show the main keywords for my site.

There is an easy button for moving a product

lol yeah my wife just spent 5 minutes laughing at me and then hit the "move" button. You spend so my time in CLI and FTP ..etc. that you forget sometimes it's as easy as clicking the button!

Okay so to recap. This "error" was simply do to the fact that those two products were not in a category and therefore it would be expected that they get labeled noindex.

I also realized that since I renamed the overridden meta_tags file I was most likely viewing a combination of cached and stock versions of the file. Reinstating it restored the desired emta info as expected.
