Hi

I posted this on vbadvanced dot com but didnt get a reply and I hope you guys can help me here. I have installed vbadvanced v3.2.2 (This is the latest version I can install as I have vb 3) and im having an issue where the meta description tag is not being populated on my pages.

If you take a look at the page http://forum.snesclassics.com/cmps_index.php?pageid=Reviews the title meta tag is there but not the description meta tag. When I created the page in the admincp I did enter a description in the description field. Any ideas how to fix this??

The front page is working ok because I added a new style, assigned this style to the front page and then added


<meta name="description" content="DESCRIPTION HERE">
to the adv_portal template. Is it possible to insert the following code

to the adv_portal template. Is it possible to insert the following code

<meta name="description" content="$vbadvanceddescription">
then $vbadvanceddescription will pick up what description I entered when I created the vbadvanced page, If yes what will $vbadvanceddescription be as ive tried everything I can think of

then $vbadvanceddescription will pick up what description I entered when I created the vbadvanced page, If yes what will $vbadvanceddescription be as ive tried everything I can think of

Hi,

I've viewed your site and you do have a meta description on your home page using the vbadvanced cmps code which is correct, and you also have meta tag description for the other pages which is picking the info up from those particular pages which is the right way to do SEO.

If you want to alter the metatag description info (or any other metatag info) shown on the rest of your pages you need to look in the headinclude template.

Incidentally, why would you want to replicate the same meta tag description across all the pages?
