    Unhappy CMS Pages - No Meta and No Idea What To Change?

    The main page of my VB4 site is set to use the CMS:
    Wine and Food Discussion - The Front Page

    It has a title, but the description and keywords seem to be the stock vbulletin rubbish, which I obviously don't want

    I know I can put in my own meta content for articles, but the problem I'm trying to resolve is in relation to the default homepage and possibly other templates

    I was assuming that VBSEO would automagically handle a lot of this :(

    As vBulletin allow meta tag customizations directly for each CMS entry , we decided not to modify those.

    Yes, but I'm not talking about an entry. I'm talking about the main page.
    ie go to Wine and Food Discussion - The Front Page and look at the source code on the main page - you'll see the meta content is some stock vbulletin rubbish BUT there's no way to edit it (or if there is I can't find it)

    Hey Michele,

    You can change the default keywords and decription in AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> General Settings -> Meta Keywords & Meta Description

    Your CMS homepage is also defined as a section and you can define custom meta tag and description to each of your sections.

    Sorry if this is really basic .. I assumed that the setting Ceri mentioned was the one , but I'd already edited that :(

    I have the same problem I think. I have no keywords or description in my home page.

    I looked for the edit home section button and I get:

    All Content in Section

    Home > edit button looking like a pencil

    This setting has no options to edit any meta data.

    Like most things with this CMS I am completely lost. Please help: wehypnosis.com
