I am trying to upload products to googles product search and it has told me to do the following which I need help in : Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section. Could someone please tell me how to add this on the back end of joomla?
Locate the "index.php" file in the current template you are using. If joomla allows you to put things in this file, put it ( like the instructions said ) in between the "head" and the "body" tag. The location of the "index.php" is : "root"/templates/"nameofyourtemplate"/index.php It is in the same folder as the "templateDetails.xml" file for the template you are using.
ok I understand it is in the index.php file of my site. But what I am asking is where can I find that in joomla's back end? Where do I click when i Log onto joomla back end?
yes, but any wayz i know most of you were talking about FTP. I just didn't want to touch that but I did any ways and it works. Thanks
You are welcome... check back anytime. Do a search for the "templateDetails" file and the template index.php is in the same folder in joomla. Glad you got it fixed.
Log in to your joomla backend, go to extensions, template manager. Click the radio button next to the template you are using and click "edit" in the top right of that page. Click "edit HTML" in the top right of the next page, and it will either open your index.php for editing, or it will give you a list of files. If it is a list of files choose index.php and click edit. Put the code from Google into the proper place, you'll need to look for the <head> tag which should be easy to find, click save and your done.
