seo_on

[Dillon]

how does this work? i dont get it the links no longer work with it on am i missing something obvious here?

[kurt]

I'm not sure what you are asking. If SEO is turned on in the admin panel, it should change the links on most non admin/profile control pages to SEO friendly links. It does require that the .htaccess file work right. What happened? Did you change something?

[Dillon]

If seo is turned on it gives literal file locations were as if it is turned off it gives php actions

Coming from the default temp with no changes with seo on you have this link

Code: [Select]

<li><a href=\''.$domain.'/search/\' title=\'Search\'>Search</a></li>
and with it off you get this link

Code: [Select]

<li><a href=\''.$domain.'/index.php?action=search\' title=\'Search\'>Search</a></li>
When i have it on the links dont work... last i checked anyway

[kurt]

It kind of sounds like something has happened to the .htaccess file somehow. If you would like me to take a look into it, PM me your log in credentials to cPanel and FTP. That's the only thing that comes to mind anyways. Have you checked to see if your hosting has mod_rewrite turned off, or if .htaccess has been deleted or corupted some how?

[Dillon]

Ok i just checked and mod_rewrite is enabled so that isnt the problem.

then after doing all that work to check it i then went i to actually look inside my htaccess file and found it was empty......

[kurt]

Wall thars yur answer pardner. Funny how they can suddenly wind up empty like that. I suspect that some hosting companies actually program the server to empty it.

[Dillon]

yay, i am now fully optimizing my template and im almost done. WOOT!

[Dillon]

while optimizing my site i ran a few tests on it to see how good the site was and found this

Found no description meta tag.
 The description meta tag is used by most of the search engines. Consider to add a description meta tag.

Where would i add this and what would i add?

Here is the site if anyone wants to test it. They got a few tests on here.

The description meta tag is populated on your home page, but the keyword meta tag is not. Perhaps the keyword field in your admin panel is empty? It would be under site settings.
