The title is generated in : pc/include-metatags.asp &  has some default values coded, but then builds it & the metatags dynamically if possible. I'm surprised it says root instead of "Product Cart Shopping Software" - or something more specific. Root is the name of the very top level of the categories so I guess that's where it's coming from. HTH

Sure would like to know how to change it so that my title is more seo friendly.

Open the file /pc/include-metatags.asp and find this section and edit the 3 specified lines:

' ************************************************************ ******************
' Edit the content for the following constants
' ************************************************************ ******************

' The following is used as the page title when the page that is being loaded is not
' a product or category page. If it is a product or category page, the page title is
' the product name and category name respectively. Replace the ProductCart title
' shown below with your own.
Const DefaultTitle = "ProductCart shopping cart software"

' The following is used as the "Content" for the default "Keywords" meta tag. When the
' page is a product or category page, the product or category names are also added to
' the keywords. Replace the following keywords with your own.
Const DefaultKeywords = "shopping cart software, ecommerce software, asp shopping cart, shopping carts, ecommerce solutions, e-commerce, ProductCart, Early Impact"

' The following is used as the "Content" for the default "Description" meta tag. When the
' page is a product or category page, the product or category descriptions replace the
' default category description.
Const DefaultDescription = "We offer shopping cart software to run ecommerce stores. Our shopping carts are used by businesses to build and manage an online storefront."

Oh, ok. I see that now. I'm so accustomed to newbies not updating the default meta tags I thought that's what he was referring to.

My guess is that the store has "root" as the name of a category and just needs to be changed to something else.

I think you do this in the language.asp file in /includes.

This is how you do it if you mean as I have here where my root category is 'Our Music':

I think I am right on this.  It is this line within languages.asp:

I think that this is where you set the bread crumb trail text for the root.

If you look here you will see what I mean:

http://www.disasterstuff.com/store/pc/Stretchers-Backboards-c8.htm - http://www.disasterstuff.com/store/pc/Stretchers-Backboards- c8.htm

I have dictLanguage.Add "english_viewCat_P_2 set to "Our Products" which shows in the bread crumbs.

But, if you go click on our products which takes you back to ViewCategories.asp, then you still see "Root" in the title bar.

I believe this is a combination of the include-metatags.asp and your settings.asp includes file.  Have you set the company store name in Store Settings for example?

So you need to set this line in include-metatags.asp:

The word "root" is saved in the first row the table "categories" in your database.  If you can find an experienced db editor, or if you are familiar with db editing, then you can change the word. Just remember to backup before you do any editing of the db.
