Shop title missing in page meta title on PS 1.6.1.6

[FranticTom]

Hi folks!

 

I'm well underway of setting up my Healthy Goodies shop and have noticed that the name of the shop doesn't appear in the product page meta title; it does on the CMS pages, category pages and homepage; on product pages, all that shows in the meta title is the product name.

 

As all the posts I've seen on the topic aim at removing the shop name from the meta title, I've checked classes/meta.php and can see what those articles suggest to replace at line 235:

$ret['meta_title'] = (isset($metas['title']) && $metas['title']) ? $metas['title'].' - '.Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME') : Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME');

 

So as that file, which I understand controls the meta tags, is unchanged and people are trying to remove their shop name from the meta title, I can only assume something else is removing the shop name.

 

Question is what?

 

 

Many thanks for your help,

Tom

I see the shop name after the product name on my PrestaShop v1.6.1.7 test site. Are you using a third-party SEO module or any overrides that may remove the shop name?

Well, I've got two modules in the SEO section: "Google Merchant Center v4.4.3 - by Business Tech" and "Google sitemap v3.2.0 - by PrestaShop". I've tried disabling both and clearing the cache with no effect.

 

I haven't added any overrides to the effect I'm seeing.

 

 

Cheers,

Tom

Ok, I found what was wrong: all our meta titles had been populated. In order for PS do handle them automatically -and suffix the store name- the product meta titles must be blank.

I'm happy you figured it out. Thanks for posting the solution.
