Default Re: How to Separate Home Page SEO from CAT & Product pages?

If you don't want to be bothered with entering unique META data for all for all of your pages, that's fine, but it is not the correct solution if you want to fully optimize your site.

As for not posting third party mod solutions, when they are the right solution, I post them. I am not affiliated with any of the vendors, I don't get paid by them, and I'm not advertising for them. But 9 times out of 10, the correct solution to questions in this forum IS a third party solution.

Then simply you did not understand his question, which was...

If I delete the SEO description/tags on the SEO Options page in General Settings, it resolves my problem of removing the home page SEO from the category and product pages, BUT it also removes my description and keyword tags from the home page.

I want SEO description/tags on the home page exclusive to that page. Is this not possible in x-cart?

Any way to resolve this? Or is this a bug in version 4.18?

Thanks.

Clearly his question was the same as mine and therefore should of been answered the same as mine. Nowhere do I see him asking to remove the trash, which I do using the BCS mod. However when you deal with thousands of products and categories you would like to have the trash without the homepage crap until you get around to changing it.

I'm not trying to start a flame... I just honestly feel like I see 3rd party products too often as the answer to questions like above. It's my opinion. I bet he could of had this done for very few support points by X-Cart.

Now for those interested let's dig into the code and get a solution...
