meta-description truncate

[guest*]

In which file should I find the truncate for meta-description. According to Serps there should not more than 160 characters. For me are showing 190 characters. Is this a Template issue ? Where do I find this to change to 160 characters ?

Meta descriptions are not truncated before output (which can be up-to 255 chars). Locate header.tpl in your theme and change

{if isset($meta_description) AND $meta_description}
<meta name="description" content="{$meta_description|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" />
{/if}

 

to add a truncate modifier

 

{if isset($meta_description) AND $meta_description}
<meta name="description" content="{$meta_description|truncate:160|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" />
{/if}

OK. Thank you for quick help. It works... I do not understand why prestashop do not make this as standard.
