How do I add META keywords manually?

[AVBrands]

In my case:

[Stephen26]

I didn't upload .htaccess file
What must I do?

You have to upload it in the right directory! The "Save the .htaccess:" option (shown in that video) will create an .htaccess file, but in the /phpbb_seo/cache folder, you still have to move it in the right place.

Once you are ready, you can select the .htaccess code, and paste it in a .htaccess file or use the "Save .htaccess" option bellow.
This .htaccess is meant to be used in the domain’s root folder, which in your case is where [full path to right place] leads to in your FTP.

Then clear the board cache.

Tell me exactly what to do to prevent another mistake!

There is a file in that directory, allready:

[Stephen26]

First make a backup of the .htaccess file in your public_html folder. Then replace it with the one in /phpbb_seo/cache/.htaccess

Another way is to simply put the generated code from ACP -> phpBB-SEO -> .htaccess via copy and paste in the /public_html/.htaccess file.

[AVBrands]

The same result .... Where is the mistake?

[Stephen26]

Run http://www.yourdomain.com/phpbb_seo/sync_url.php and clear the board cache.

[AVBrands]

Do you mean to replace .htaccess file in public_html folder:

...with that one from : /phpbb_seo/cache/.htaccess ?!

[AVBrands]

Run http://www.yourdomain.com/phpbb_seo/sync_url.php and clear the board cache.

Where is the board cache?
Do you mean: styles/templates/cache ... ?

[Stephen26]

Do you mean to replace .htaccess file in public_html folder: ...with that one from :in /phpbb_seo/cache/.htaccess ?!

Exactly. Make a backup of the file first.

Or download /public_html/.htaccess, open it in an editor and copy + paste the code from ACP > phpBB-SEO > htaccess in the file, save + reupload.

Simply use the "Purge the cache" tab in ACP -> General to clear the board cache.

At last!!! Thank you very much for your attention and help!

[Stephen26]

You're welcome!

So, my site is online again, but the question: "How do I add META keywords manually?" still exist.

I asked same question on other forum and they told me:

"Your overall_header is very different to the normal one from this site so the people who made your board files have either moved the metas to another file or removed them altogether. You'll have to ask them where to add it."

So, I Need to get an answer here!

[AVBrands]

... description, keywords... can be changed in Administration Control Panel -> phpBB-SEO -> Extended config section.

I fill them in forms but they didn't appear in "Original source". Which files content keywords except "overall_header"?!

[Stephen26]

Did you clear the board cache (and maybe your browser cache too) after making the changes?

Of course.
