Meta keywords not working!

The meta keywords is not working correctly and in the vbseo settings i have it set


<meta name="keywords" content="sports, sports community, nfl, mlb, nba, nhl, fantasy sports, mlb fantasy, nfl fantasy, ya is what is in my admincpDo i need to make a template modification or change something THanks Mike

Hi Mike,

could you please give more details on this issue? Do you mean you set vBSEO to modify your metas and they're unchanged (with vbseo enabled) or opposite?

yes sir that is exaclty what i am stating that the vbseo meta keywords are set and that they are not working

do i need to add or change something to the templates

Templates should not be modified for this.
Please note that vBSEO doesn't modify meta keywords for vB3.5.x (where it is filled with thread title by default). If it is not the case, please let me know (here or via PM) an example URL.

so the meta keywords do not work for 3.5.

Is this just function just for vb 3.0.*

I was under the impression that the meta keywords did work for 3.5. Is this something that will change in the future

This function could work in both vb3.0.x and 3.5.x, but we've disabled this for 3.5.x since it has already the thread titles in keywords by default.
However, it might be a good idea to apply this modification for both cases. This will be included in the next vbseo release

see then that maybe something that I am having an issue with.

What template do i need to change to revert it so the keywords show up

TIA

Mike

No template modification is required to let vBSEO alter your metas. So, no changes from your side.

No that is not what I am referring too, I understand that. You are not catching what I am trying to say.

You stated that the meta keywords for vbseo 3.5 is not used since vb 3.5 already puts the title in the keywords. My keywords are the same on each post, something from vb 3.0.* that is in the admincp settings. If you view the source any of the posts, threads, or forums on http://sto.sportsrant.com/forums you will see what I am talking about

They are all :

Code:

<meta name="keywords" content="sports, sports community, nfl, mlb, nba, nhl, fantasy sports, mlb fantasy, nfl fantasy, yahoo sports, the sports authority, sports book, cbs sports, college sports, espn, espn sports, sports news, sports apparel, sports message boards, message boards, boards college, boards sports, rant girls" />

And i thought that vbseo was changing that

I am wondering what I need to do to correct this

nevermind i fixed it myself using this from the template of vb 3.5

Code:

<meta name="keywords" content="$threadinfo[title], $vboptions[keywords]" />

And i thought that vbseo was changing that

I see.. vBSEO doesn't change this. Perhaps your template is not compatible with vB3.5.x meta keywords feature. Check your "headinclude" template, it should contain something like:

<if condition="$show['threadinfo']">
<meta name="keywords" content="$threadinfo[title], $vboptions[keywords]" />
<meta name="description" content="<if condition="$pagenumber>1"><phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase>-</if>$threadinfo[title] $foruminfo[title_clean]" />
<else />
<if condition="$show['foruminfo']">
<meta name="keywords" content="$foruminfo[title_clean], $vboptions[keywords]" />
<meta name="description" content="<if condition="$pagenumber>1"><phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase>-</if>$foruminfo[description_clean]" />
<else />
<meta name="keywords" content="$vboptions[keywords]" />
<meta name="description" content="$vboptions[description]" />
</if>
</if>

Updates on this?

yes sir


I corrected the template myself

yes i corrected it

Thanks for the update - Closing this thread.
