Homepage Title And Description Meta Tags

Hi,
I had my website built by web designers about 18 months ago however I need to change my homepage title and description meta tags. Is there a way of doing this in admin or is it an FTP job. I can't seem to find the relevant file on the server so that I can edit.

I think it is only possible by FTP. This thread gives some details on what you need to do:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95253&highlight=metatags

I did that already but the existing meta tag title isn't in there to change it just says:
// page title
define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart!'); but my homepage has already had it's page title defined.

Could it be that it is using a file from another directory? Do you have one somewhere in an override folder?

1.   To change the title text to say what you want, open the includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php file in your text editor. Find the following line of code:
   

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart!');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');

Replace the title and tagline text with your own text, making sure that the single quote marks are not left out and new quote marks are not added.

Save the edited file to includes/languages/english/custom/meta_tags.php and upload it to your server.

TRY TO CONTACT THE WEB SITE DESIGNER AND FIND OUT WHAT CUSTOM FOLDER THEY HAVE CREATED FOR YOU. YOU MAY HAVE TO CHANGE THE TITLE TAG IN THE meta_tags.php FILE OF YOUR CUSTOM FOLDER.

2.  Also check the includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php  (or includes/templates/template_default/CUSTOM/html_header.php  to see if a page title has been defined there.

I found the file:

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart!');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');

But should it not say what already exists ie.

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Urban Male Clothing - casual men's clothing, underwear, footwear and accessories');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'Urban Male Clothing - casual men's clothing, underwear, footwear and accessories');

I want to change it to this:

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Mens Clothing, Designer Clothing and Accessories!');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');

Go to your Admin>Tools>Developers Toolkit and do a search for some of the text that appears now, ie Urban Male Clothing

When the search completes it will show you the directory and file locations that you can then go to and edit.

Try
includes/languages/english/nameofyourcurrenttemplate/meta_tags.php
