Have put this after the title tag like this:

<title><?php echo $pagesRecord['pagetitle'] ?></title>
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="<?php $pagesRecord['meta_description']; ?>">
<META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="<?php $pagesRecord['metakeywords']; ?>">

But it doesn't seem to work even though the title tag does. When I go to view source the meta tags aren't there.

Any ideas?

This is the code

<title><?php echo $pagesRecord['pagetitle'] ?></title>
<META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="<?php $pagesRecord['metakeywords']; ?>">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="<?php $pagesRecord['meta_description']; ?>">

...and this is what I get in the source code - note the title tag works.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="">
<title>The Dower House, Straloch estate</title>

<style type="text/css">

Hi Charles,

Try adding this temporarily to see all the available fields:

<xmp><?php print_r($pagesRecord); ?></xmp>

Let me know what that says.

Try adding the following tag (in red) just below your body tag. It will display a list of all the fields that are available. It's very odd that nothing is showing for metakeywords and meta_description.

<title><?php echo $pagesRecord['pagetitle'] ?></title>
<META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="<?php $pagesRecord['metakeywords']; ?>">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="<?php $pagesRecord['meta_description']; ?>">
...
<body>

<xmp><?php print_r($pagesRecord); ?></xmp>

Once you add that it will display a list of all the available fields in $pageRecord. Just copy and paste that and then remove the tag again.

We figured this one out. I had missed the echo in the PHP tag:

<title><?php echo $pagesRecord['pagetitle'] ?></title>
<META NAME="KeyWords" CONTENT="<?php echo $pagesRecord['metakeywords']; ?>">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="<?php echo $pagesRecord['meta_description']; ?>">

It working now. And whenever you need to add new tags you can always use the code generator to create a list of them and just copy and paste the ones you need. It never forgets the echo part! :)

Hope that helps!
