Heatherbell Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Sorry if I misunderstand but I only want to show additional text on the pages, not in the meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Header Tags SEO allows you to add text to the category pages, as well as manufacturer and product pages too.. But if you don't want to install it, there are separate contributions for each of those, like Categories Descriptions.

Heatherbell Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thank you for your advice. I have an SEO add on installed and would prefer not to add another.

Guest Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hello, Possibly this information will help. Insert into any page that you want to add text to. There are two ways to use HTML on your PHP page. The first way is to put the HTML outside of your PHP tags. You can even put it in the middle if you close and reopen the <?php -and- ?> tags. Here is an example of putting the HTML outside of the tags: <html> <title>HTML with PHP</title> <body> <h1>My Example</h1> <?php //your php code here ?> <b>Here is some more HTML</b> <?php //more php code ?> </body> </html> As you can see you can use any HTML you want without doing anything special or extra in your .php file, as long as it is outside of the PHP tags. The second way to use HTML with PHP is by using PRINT or ECHO. By using this method you can include the HTML inside of the PHP tags. This is a nice quick method if you only have a line or so to do. Here is an example: <?php Echo "<html>"; Echo "<title>HTML with PHP</title>"; Echo "<b>My Example</b>"; //your php code here Print "<i>Print works too!</i>"; ?> Using one or both of these methods you can easily embed HTML code in your PHP pages, to give them a nicer more formatted look, and make them more user friendly. Help this helps. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherbell Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 tomshaft: thank you for your help but how do I enter different text for different categories? Which php file do I use, I think if I enter text in index it will show same on all categories. Sorry I am not expert at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 @@Heatherbell You have already had suggestions how to add a category description. Ignore that post by @@tomshaft as it has nothing to do with adding category descriptions. I would personally add headertags seo addon. This will do what you want and a lot more beside. You should really add a headertags addon, so why not kill two birds with one stone. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatherbell Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thank you all for your time and advice. I already had modular SEO Header Tags installed so wanted to avoid another similar addon. I have now installed Category Description which works well.
