Meta Titles & Descriptions not working on blog

Hi Luke,

Is all this code in one file?

The section at the top should be in a Layout templates/layouts/header.php:

<?php
if (perch_layout_has('blog-post')) {
perch_blog_post_meta(perch_get('s'));
perch_page_attributes(); 
}else{
echo '<title>' . perch_pages_title(true) . '</title>';
perch_page_attributes();
}
?>

This way when you use perch_layout('header') at the top of your page, the layout templates/layouts/header.php will be included in the page.

Hey, Hey the top section is in the header.php. the bottom section is in the post.php

What's in your templates/blog/meta_head.html?

And is the blog post otherwise being displayed?

Posts are being displayed however i dont have blog/meta_head.html since my templates are coming from foundation zurb.

You are free to use any framework you want. You still can use Perch templates.

You are using:

perch_blog_post_meta(perch_get('s'));

The above uses perch/templates/blog/meta_head.html by default.

You can find the default template in perch/addons/apps/perch_blog/templates/blog/meta_head.html.

These are the contents of the meta_head

<perch:blog id="og_title" label="Social title" type="text" escape="true" help="Title for this document with no branding or site name" divider-before="Facebook Open Graph Tags" />"
<perch:blog id="og_description" label="Social description" type="textarea" size="s" escape="true" />
<perch:blog id="og_image" label="Image when shared" help="Should be at least 1200x630" type="image" width="1200" />
<perch:blog id="og_type" label="Facebook type" type="select" options="article,book,profile,website,video,music" allowempty="true" />

This looks like the default post_meta.html template which is used for editing.

The default meta_head.html template is:

<title><perch:blog id="postTitle" /></title>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<perch:setting id="perch_blog_site_name" />" />
<meta property="og:url" content="<perch:blog id="domain" type="hidden" /><perch:blog id="postURL" type="hidden" />" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<perch:blog id="og_title" label="Social title" type="text" escape="true" />" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<perch:blog id="og_description" label="Social description" type="textarea" size="s" escape="true" />" /><!--* *-->
<perch:if exists="og_image">
<meta property="og:image" content="<perch:blog id="domain" type="hidden" /><perch:blog id="og_image" label="Image when shared" help="Should be at least 1200x630" type="image" width="1200" />" />
</perch:if><!--* *-->
<perch:if exists="og_type"><!--* *-->
<meta property="og:type" content="<perch:blog id="og_type" label="Facebook type" type="select" options="article,book,profile,website,video,music" allowempty="true" />" />
</perch:if><!--* *-->
<meta property="article:author" content="<perch:blog id="author_facebook" type="hidden" />" />

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
<meta name="twitter:site" content="<perch:blog id="author_twitter" type="hidden" />" />
<meta name="twitter:title" content="<perch:blog id="og_title" label="Social title" type="text" escape="true" />" />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="<perch:blog id="og_description" label="Social description" type="textarea" size="s" escape="true" />" /><!--* *-->
<perch:if exists="og_image">
<meta property="twitter:image" content="<perch:blog id="domain" type="hidden" /><perch:blog id="og_image" label="Image when shared" help="Should be at least 1200x630" type="image" width="1200" />" />
</perch:if><!--* *-->
<meta name="twitter:url" content="<perch:blog id="domain" type="hidden" /><perch:blog id="postURL" type="hidden" />" />

Fixed, just had to put all code on the bot into the header php and it worked
