I have three questions.

1. I have set up Meta Description and keyword meta tags for categories, but I have been unable to set up these for the WSNLinks Home page. Anyone let me in on how to do this?

Thanks

2. Also. I have set up unique Title headings for categories using Customization>Titles , but I have been unable to set up a unique Title for the home page. The only way I managed to do this is to add;

<title>Home Page Title {PAGETITLE}</title>

in wrapper.tpl

But this obviously means that the home page title is repeated on every category page title, which I don't want. Any ideas anyone?

3. One final question. How do I switch RSS feeds off?

Thanks

1. Not sure how you have set up your description and keyword meta tags for your cats, but I have made a new category field called keywords and then included it in Admin > Settings > SEO, default meta tags again using if conditionals:

<meta name="keywords" content="<IF {CATID} is not 0>{CATNAME}</IF><IF {CATKEYWORDS}>,{CATKEYWORDS}</IF>" />
<meta name="description" content="{CATDESCRIPTION[200]}" />



2. In your wrapper put:

<title><IF {TID} contains main.tpl>Welcome to {SITETITLE}<ELSE>{PAGETITLE}</IF></title>



3. Admin > Settings > Switches

2. You can type index.php as the page to set the title for.

Thanks guys.

Paul, when I type index.php, it makes all the categories have the same title as the home page - at least when using rewritten urls.

babrees, thanks for that. I may try that for the title and see how it goes.

BTW, I have RSS submissions and XML feed submissions disabled in "Admin > Settings > Switches", yet RSS still appears. I want to kill RSS completely. Is this possible?

Thanks

Hm, I see, it applies to anything containing that in the URL. Can't recall why it does "contains" instead of "equals", will probably change to equals.
