How to change category page titles to improve SEO


Recommended Posts

Maybe it's a silly question, but I wasn't able to find info about it... So maybe here somebody could help me.

 

I was analyzing my website with google webmaster tools and it advise me to change duplicated pages title to improve SEO. Actualy the test results in all category pages with te same title (the shop name) in stead of the each category page own title.

 

I have filled all metadata (title, description, keywords...) to every category and product pages, but even with that it seems that it doesn't appear at the front office.

 

I'm using prestashop 1.5.2 and the url is http://nutri-cosmetica.com

 

So please, anybody knows how to change the category page tittles to properly show them to the browsers?

 

Thanks!

Thanks!!! By doing that it will make it show the category title instead of the Webshop title?

 

if you set up the seo for category pages it will works, remember that you must find and override correct function in Meta class (class/Meta.php)

I'm reading the link but I'm a bit confused...

 

My override/clasess/meta.php has only this code:

 

<?php

class Meta extends MetaCore
{

}

 

That's correct, because it's an "override" file. You must copy correct functions from classes/Meta.php to override/clasess/meta.php and change some parameters

 

if you don't know how to do that, just wait for my tutorial about changing page titles for seo. It will be available tommorow / or tonight

Thanks for your tutorial!

 

I've followed step by step but in category titles now only are shown some category titles and others don't.

 

For example in this main category you can see the correct main category title:

title.jpg

 

However in this other main category you can't see any title:

title2.jpg

 

I've also tried with the meta.php file from the tutorial with identical results...

 

I'm using PS 1.5.2 and I have filled all categories SEO meta info from backoffice... What I'm doing wrong?? :wacko:

this is from header.tpl at themes/warehouse template folder

 

<head>
       <title>{$meta_title|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</title>
{if isset($meta_description) AND $meta_description}


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

so everything is ok here. Are you sure, that you created SEO for all of categories in your shop? It's really weird, something goes wrong with displaying it well and I don't exactly know what

I'm completely sure about that... If you want I can get you access to my backoffice to check it by your self...

 

Could it be a problem between the default header and the one from my template? cause I've opened the default heather file and the code is different.

Hi everybody...

 

Vekia tried to help me but unfortunatlye he had no success... he could change some part of the code to show some info as metatitle, but this is only a temporaly trick, it's not a definetly solution. Does anybody have a similar issue?

 

Also I would like to restore the original code without the modificiations of Vekia to start again finding a solution, the problem is that I don't know what he had changed and he don't answer my messages since last saturday (I suppose he is busy these days). Can anybody give me a hand?

 

Thanks in advance!
