How do I add metatags to a C5 website?

Permalink
Google require meta tags to know your website theme right? So how do I add these, also on a side note is the meta keywords attribute of any use?

One way to do this is from the page properties, while on the particular page.

Hover on edit - click 'properties' - click 'Custom Attributes' - click 'Meta Title' etc.

Fill in the tags, save and publish.

Hello 55design!

Okay I'll try that, are you sure though? I assumed the meta title field is for the the title of the page as it appears on google! :S

In addition to the above, in 5.6 there is a dashboard page where you can edit metatags in bulk. Enter 'Bulk SEO' in the dashboard search.

You can also use my addon 'Magic Heading' to auto-generate metadata.

Hi John!

I'd like to upgrade to the new version but from what I read on the forum lots of people had errors and losses so I'm waiting to backup my database before I update. Thanks for the answer!

Very wise to backup first. It also often helps to turn of pretty URLs, turn off and clear the cache, and temporarily swap to a default theme during an upgrade.
