How to make category page titles different from menu?

[Jamesh388]

I'd like to change the Page Titles ("Name") of my product Category Pages to make them more descriptive for SEO.

 

BUT - I need to keep the menu bar names (otherwise the'd be too long).

 

Is there a way to make the Category Page Titles different to the name in the menu bar - eg: attached.

 

 

It's driving me crazy and can't find any threads for this - hoping someone can help

Hi,

 

you can utilize Meta Title field for this. You will need to modify your template, though

 

Just edit category listing template, and replace 

$category->name 

with 

$category->meta_title

If you are using default template, it's line 72 in themes/default-bootstrap/category.tpl

Good point. It should be possible to display the meta description indeed in the frondend. I have never thought about it before. As merchant, make sure that you provide relevant information in your meta data. I have seen so many websites that could rank better with a little push!
