Marshall Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1916 Posts	Posted - 07/06/2021 : 05:06:33 ASP V 7.3.3 Using a static category page, I have this in the <head> <% explicitid=65 catid=65 %> <!--#include virtual="/vsadmin/db_conn_open.asp"--> <!--#include virtual="/vsadmin/inc/languagefile.asp"--> <!--#include virtual="/vsadmin/includes.asp"--> <!--#include virtual="/vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.asp"--> <!--#include virtual="/vsadmin/inc/metainfo.asp"--> <title><%= pagetitle%> <% If pagetitle <>"" then response.write pagetitle else response.write productname %><%= titleTag%></title> <meta name="description" content="<%=Replace(sectiondescription,"""",""")%>"> I know pagetitle repeats in the <title> tag, but that is for testing. I have tried removing <% If pagetitle <>"" then response.write pagetitle else response.write productname %> and just leaving <%= pagetitle%>, but still no joy. The category is set to "categories can be added to this category" which all display fine.

dbdave ECT Moderator USA 10468 Posts	Posted - 07/06/2021 : 10:27:54 metainfo.asp 7.4.0 didn't work for me, and I was going from 7.2.5 I put the file back from 7.2.5 (works) and plan to troubleshoot soon. David
Marshall Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1916 Posts	Posted - 07/06/2021 : 11:03:44 Obviously 7.3.4 did not work for me. I believe I have an old version available. Thanks David. Marshall CENLYT Productions - ms designs Affordable Web Design Custom Ecommerce Designs Responsive Websites Cenlyt.com

If there is a problem it's probably better in the long run to fix it at source. Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater
sparksm Advanced Member 125 Posts	Posted - 10/21/2021 : 11:50:17 Just updated my test store from 7.2.5 to 7.4.4 and am having the same issue. The new metainfo.asp does not work for titles & descriptions, but the old version does. Can provide sample page and FTP details if needed

Vince Administrator 42874 Posts	Posted - 10/23/2021 : 03:27:23 Hi Sparksm You are indeed correct and I found the problem in the metainfo.asp/php file. I've updated your test site and added the fix to the updater in case anyone else has the same problem.
