dculley Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Since I have changed my site over to Boot Strap I haven't reinstalled SEO. My question is which SEO add on should I use? I'm running OSC 2.3.4 with BS. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Assuming you are referring to a meta tags addon like my Header Tags SEO, the latest BS version has some built-in code for that. There are more options and control in my addon but the built-in one may work for you. They are not compatible so you will either need to re-enter the titles and tags or convert the previous fields to the new ones or your sites rankings may be negatively affected.

♥14steve14 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I use just the standard modules supplied with oscommerce, but I added a URL rewriter because I have one on my old site and it kept the URLs the same saving a lot of redirect set ups. Now whether the standard one is the best I have no idea. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running it with 2.3.4 w/BS. I do not know the version of BS. Is there a way to find out? Also do you know where I would go to get the upgrade? Thanks for your help.

Jack_mcs Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 @@dculley When you said you had BS installed, I assumed you meant the BS version of oscommerce. Since yours is a 2.3.4 with BS installed afterwards, it won't have the inbuilt SEO I mentioned. I think that is an addon but I don't know if it is compatible with your shop. You should install either it, Header Tags SEO Reloaded, or mine, Header Tags SEO, to get better SEO results.

Jack_mcs Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 As I recall, the basic 2.3.4 version only had code added for displaying web browser titles. There's no meta description or social icons meta tags. Nor any way to add descriptions to categories and manufacturers. All of which are important SEO items so you need to install one of the addons I mentioned.

burt Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 @@dculley that is a version of the 234 Community Responsive, running the Gablehauser Template. If you want an easy(er) life in the future you would probably do one of two things;1. if you have kept core code changes to an absolute minimum (or zero)...update your shop to the EDGE version (which integrates SEO out of the box).OR2. install HTSEO - Reloaded, which is the basis of the SEO that is in EDGE, and is the basis of the SEO that is in the upcoming OFFICIAL osCommerce. With both of the above options, support is extremely limited. You are on your own (as with everything else in the core codebase). If you want to make your life more difficult (with regards to code and future updating), add in Jacks HTSEO (which has more "features" and a hell of a lot of core code changes), however, the upside of Jacks solution is that support is extremely good.
