You need to edit your database using phpMyAdmin and increase the length of the meta_keywords field of the ps_product_lang table, then edit line 187 of classes/Product.php and increase the meta_keywords length there:

protected $fieldsSizeLang = array('meta_description' => 255, 'meta_keywords' => 255,

Friend,

I am unaware of phpMyAdmin how to use it and how to increase length through it. I have edited only product.php file. So can you tell me any other option to edit the database file.

You can access phpMyAdmin from your cPanel. If you can't find it, you could try the phpMyAdmin module.

""'" 1. the field keywords (English (English)) is too long (255 chars max)""""


Please provide me solution for it.

Hi Vilas,
I don't really understand why you want to have more than 255 characters in the meta-keyword...
It is now known that all the major search engines don't give any importance to the meta-keyword. And even back in the days when it was important, it was bad practice and counter productive to put too many keywords.
Or am I missing something??

You must change the field size in two places as mentioned in my post above. If you miss one of them, you will get that error message. Check to make sure you have changed:

metakeywords => 255

Increase the 255.

Dear FredActin,

Thanks for support. Actually I am selling mobile phones home appliances that is the reason I am trying to use much more keywords. As I am unable to find out my website through entering product titles in google. Do you have any solution for it.

Well as I said Google does not use the meta-keyword tag any more.

Source: Google

The description tag won't affect your ranking either, but you can try to make it compelling as it is often displayed on the search results page.

The only one which is still considered is the title but there again, it is more efficient to focus on 1 or 2 keywords for each page.

"Stuffing" your page with keywords will remove any credibility to your page and you won't go anywhere high on Google (or on any search engine)

I'm not going to write a complete SEO guide here, I think there are plenty of resources available out there but please when you do your research on SEO only use sources that are less than 2 year old (even 1 year old of possible - I know my link to Google is more than a year old but I know the situation hasn't changed since then)

I made ​​the change suggested by rocky,

and also to me clontinuava to give error, just because (in the case of ps 1.5.2)

you have to make the change to the file Product.php

line 289

 

'meta_keywords' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 255),

 

to

 

'meta_keywords' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 500),

Hi,

if you use prestashop 1.6 you can edit the max-length of SEO editing

{your_admin_folder}/themes/default/template/controllers/products/seo.tpl

 

and change all the data eg.

 

maxchar=260
maxlength=260
