Hello, I am a total ee novice - I recently did an EE SEO tutorial at seo tutorial  where we added a custom weblog field “keywords” and then added this to the template header:

<meta name="keywords" content="{exp:weblog:entries}{keywords}{/exp:weblog:entries}" />

This worked for getting a new keywords field to appear in the posts, and it shows up when I view source.

Now, I have 2 other weblogs that I want to add it to but it doesn’t show up in the source - when I added the keywords field to these weblogs, I had to name it something different since keywords was already taken, so I called it keywords3 which I added to “home”

I tried just adding {keywords3} but it did not work {exp:weblog:entries weblog="homes"} {keywords3}{/exp:weblog:entries}
(because the weblog is called homes)

That did not work either!

I think the “homes” weblog has a module/extension installed because it is a homes list for real-estate - this may have php code that is interrupting the keywords from working.

It looks like this Homes

So I’m not sure what the proper code is to make it show up.
What should I do?

Welcome to the ExpressionEngine forums, bkaveny8.

Since you’re new to the EE forums, have you seen EEWiki:// How to Post a Support Request?

Which version/build of EE1.x are you using? You can find that out at the bottom of any control panel page.

You may just need to add weblog=“home” to your exp:weblog:entries tag.

Try a standalone template with just this code in it:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="home"}
<h3>{title}</h3>
<p>{keywords3}<br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Does that work?

I am using expression engine v1.6.4
I just tried that and it did not work.

Is there a reason you’re on such an old build of EE1.x? The most recent version is 1.7.0, and is a recommended security upgrade. Is it possible to do so?

I’ve just updated to 1.7.0. but it’s still not working. I think a plugin is interfering. Any other ideas?

If you’re putting in the code I mentioned in its own template, a plugin shouldn’t be interfering.

Do you a title at least from the code I mentioned earlier?
