[SOLVED] How to remove "Shop powered by Prestashop" in Facebook link?

[aliaspt]

OK, I thought I edited all files where the PrestaShop power is mentioned but it appears I missed some. As much as I love PrestaShop, I'd like to remove that from Facebook links (for example, when I post my website link on the FB wall). Where is that sneaky file that I should edit?
Thanks!

[rocky]

I don't get "Powered by PrestaShop" displayed when I post a link on my wall. I'm not sure why you do. Can you provide a link to I can see what you mean?

[aliaspt]

No link as it was posted on a private profile but I did a printscreen (in the attached image)

[rocky]

I see. I think that is the page's meta-description. Go to Preferences > Meta-Tags, edit the "index" page, then change the "Meta description" field.

[aliaspt]

rocky, you ROCK! Thank you!

[geko]

Hi Rocky,

I followed your suggestions but I still can't get rid of the "Powered by Prestashop" away from the Facebook link's and also I would like to have only one single specific thumbnail showing instead of the customer choice of 13 that I can see in facebook. The first choice thumnail choice is totally wrong. I wish to make the advertising.jpg the prefered one.

My site:
www.dans4ever.se

I tested to edit my header.tpl with some other suggestions found in

http://gnorml.com/blog/facebook-link-thumbnails/
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share

But still no score..
confused to from where the Power by Prestashop is beeing extracted to facebook.

Thanks in advance.

[saulon]

hey geko, did u solve it?

[geko]

Nope never solved it..

Facebook store the meta description at first time that anybody add a link to the URL. And although the webmaster change this description, Facebook continue showing the oldest description. ¡Please report this bug to Facebook!

[aliaspt]

I haven't done anything else except Rocky's suggestion:
Go to Preferences > Meta-Tags, edit the “index” page, then change the “Meta description” field.

It worked right away. I don't know why you guys are having this problem.

[ojooo]

Hi,
I change Meta-Tags field (index), but i continue to see "shop powered by prestashop" when i share the link in facebook, someone has another idea that could be?.


thanks a lot.

[ojooo]

Problem SOLVED

My steps.

1. check the table ps_meta_lang in the database, and delete the duplicated entry ("shop powered by Prestashop"), because when you change the Meta Tags with the tool, Preferences > Meta-Tags, you not delete the old entry.

2. enter this site: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/
and put your url and you can see your new information.

thanks a lot.

[matmatoo]

Can someone please just tell me where to find this 'table"?

Ive looked thru my databse but cant find the ps_meta_lang one?

Thanks
Matt

[ojooo]

you can see other table called meta_lang in your database? mayb you have other prefix.
But if you can't find this table, try to go this link and refresh you info : http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/.


bye

[matmatoo]

Hi there,

Where is meta_lang meant to be found?

The following 'tables' I can find are:

CHARACTER_SETS
COLLATIONS
COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY
COLUMNS
COLUMN_PRIVILEGES
KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
PROFILING
ROUTINES
SCHEMATA
SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES
STATISTICS
TABLES
TABLE_CONSTRAINTS
TABLE_PRIVILEGES
TRIGGERS
USER_PRIVILEGES
VIEWS

Matt

[rocky]

You're looking at your database schema, not the database itself. Click the link below "information_schema".

[matmatoo]

Hey Rocky,

Sorry to sound so dumb, but I don't understand what you mean, click the link below "information_schema"?


Thank you
Matt

[rocky]

It's on the left side of phpMyAdmin. Click the link that's blurred out in the screenshot below.

[matmatoo]

Hey Rocky,

The only database that appears is the "information_schema" that isn't blured out above.

Not sure if this is normal?

Matt

[rocky]

No, it is not normal. That means you don't have a database. PrestaShop won't work without one. Do you have PrestaShop up and running yet? Are you sure you are looking at the same server you installed PrestaShop?

[matmatoo]

Yes, PrestaShop is 100% operational.

 

If you wanted, if I gave you my cpanel and database passwords could you look at it?

 

Thank you

Matt

[perusi]

maybe i`ll sound stupid ...but i cannot find META TAGS in Preferences ( ...i`m using PS 1.4.3

thanks

[rocky]

That's because it's now changed to "SEO & URLs".

[francklecancre]

Hi,

iv changed on my database meta_lang and on my admin / pref/ meta..but the link powered by prestashop on FB is ever here :/

have you one other solution please?

sorry for my bad english

regards

[Mike Spike]

Hi all

for those of you who are struggling to find the location of the index.php file and how to make the changes try this:

 

1. Click on the Preferences tab

2. Click 'SEO & URLs' subtab

A list of SEO &URLs should appear.

3. Click on the edit button (on the right hand side under the 'Actions' column, & looks like a pencil on paper)

4. Change the Meta-Description to what ever you want

5. Click 'Save'

 

Tested and works on Prestashop version 1.4.5.1

 

Good luck

Mike

[technobroken]

Gracias por la respuesta. Me fue de mucha utilidad.

[napoleonmexicano]

I solved this way:

 

1.- Go to Preferences > Meta-Tags, edited the “index” page, then changed the “Meta description” field.

 

2.- Entered to: http://developers.fa...com/tools/lint/

 

3.- Put the site URL and voila!! SOLVED!!!

 

I never needed to enter DATABASE : D

[Arnaud Drieux]

Now its:

 

Preference->SEO & URLS -> edit index page etc...

Thanks I had the same problem (shop powered by Prestashop) but with your steps It was resolved.

First I delete the duplicate entry in meta_lang and then I went to http://developers.fa...com/tools/lint/ and give my url in (Input URL, Access Token, or Open Graph Action ID )

and then push the button debug.

 

Thanks

I'm not able to see where the "shop powered by prestashop" text is? I checked the homepage and the page source.

[ledelire]

Thank you Benjamin, well Maybe because I've modified the index in the SEO page, but it still shows in my web's profile in Linkedin, that is where my "issue" is right now.

[vekia]

thats right, i think that issue is related to the linkedin cache

Hi,

I change Meta-Tags field (index), but i continue to see "shop powered by prestashop" when i share the link in facebook, someone has another idea that could be?.

 

 

thanks a lot.

I was having the same issue.  But after a while it was fixed.  It seems that it took a while for the change to propagate.  But Rocky on post #4 got it right on.  Thanks!

[benjamin utterback]

I see. I think that is the page's meta-description. Go to Preferences > Meta-Tags, edit the "index" page, then change the "Meta description" field.

 

 

This still holds true for the latest version I believe.

[vekia]

yes that's right, im convinced that this should work.

problems with this are usually related to websites cache, exactly the same as on facebook (where you have to use debugger tool to "refresh" results)

[justicejustine]

For the line of description showing up wrong on Facebook (e.g. Powered by Prestashop), a quick fix is simply to click on the line of words showing up wrong and Facebook will allow you to edit it. For the wrong image showing up (or you want a custom image), simply hover over the image and upload one of your choice.

Hi Joy, please read the 500 Error blog post in my signature. You probably need to delete your .htaccess from FTP manually. 

[Joy Laney]

Hi Benjamin

I read through the post and changed the file from false to true, then attempted to get back into my back office with no success.

Any other ideas?

 

How do I manually change my .htaccess from FTP?  Sorry, but I am new at this so you will probably have to 'dumb down' your answers LOL

Edited November 20, 2013 by Joy Laney (see edit history)

[benjamin utterback]

Hi Joy!

 

 No Problem, I actually can't make much more simple than that. However, you can still contact your Hosting provider and ask them to delete your htaccess and teach you more about FTP. Learning this stuff is always handy .

[Joy Laney]

Well, now I am not able to log in to my ftp panel. (It will not accept my password)  I have contacted my hosting provider for help, but that usually takes a while and my website is down.  I do have access to my file manager.  Can I delete this .htaccess file there?  If so, where do I find it?

You mean you can't use your ftp client (filezilla etc.)?  In the file manager they should be in the same locations as you would see them in the FTP client.  There are several .htaccess files.

PERFECT!!! Thanks Works Perfect-- it is called URL and SEO  instead of Meta Tags-- This will get you to the MetaTags edit the index page and it works great

Hi everyone,

 

I'm new to prestashop and FB adverts. I'd like to remove the "By Prestashop 1.5" which is appearing on FaceBook Adverts for my website/products. How do I do this?.

Please see yellow highlighted portion of the attached screenshot.

 

Thanks

 

 

[vekia]

image that you attached is a part of what? i know that facebook, but what feature exactly?

[BugsyMcgraw]

Thanks Vekia, it is part of sponsored ads. From "Create Ads" (for FB Sponsored ads) under "Clicks To Website"

[benjamin utterback]

Thanks Vekia, it is part of sponsored ads. From "Create Ads" (for FB Sponsored ads) under "Clicks To Website"

 

 

Is this a module? What is the name of the module? 

[BugsyMcgraw]

No it's not a module. It just keeps appearing on my paid ads on FB. It shows my website URL on one side (blocked in the attached) then it shows "By Prestashop 1.5" on the other. I could send you a full screenshot directly if you wish.

[fancydressncr]

where to find the meta tag file ?

[fancydressncr]

Oh glad i found it thanks

its preferences>seo and URL > index > edit 

[novin007]

Solved it by editing

$this->name = 'socialsharing';

$this->author = 'Your Name;

$this->tab = 'advertising_marketing';

$this->need_instance = 0;

$this->version = '1.2.7';

$this->bootstrap = true;

$this->_directory = dirname(__FILE__);

Just go here;

Put you website url and click on "fetch new scrape information". It should force Facebook "fetch" the changes you've made in you site.  ;-)

 

Hope this helped, cheers.
