What metadata settings will be used on my page?


The hierarchy of metadata keywords and descriptions is as follows:

  • Global Setting Level
    • Menu Level
    • Category Level

So, by default the system uses the Global settings for Meta tag key words and descriptions. If there are Meta tags found at the Menu level, these will override the Global settings. And finally, if there are Meta tags found at Category level, these will override all of the above.
