Upgraded ECPro 3.10 & Fllter Bar Have LOST the Title TAG causing SEO Errors.

[dtforum]

I had several hiccups and crashes that I resolved with the update to EC Pro 3.10 and the accompany new filter bar.

Now have another new problem. The new EC seems to have lost its title tags on all Events creating two major SEO Errors as per Moz.com – Title Missing or Empty and Duplicate page content – for each and every Calendar event.

Did a tag get missing the code?

Title Missing or Empty
All of your pages should have title tags. Search engines use the title element to identify keywords and associate the page with a topic. These tags also appear in SERPs, so can encourage users to click if the content is relevant to their search. For more on title tags, visit http://moz.com/learn/seo/title-tag.

Duplicate Page Content
Code and content on this page looks similar or identical to code and content on other pages on your site. Search engines may not know which pages are best to include in their index and rankings. Common fixes for this issue include 301 redirects, using the rel=canonical tag, and using the Parameter handling tool in Google Webmaster Central. For more information on duplicate content, visit http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content.

Hi @dtforum,

I’m sorry the upgrade experience resulted in some difficulties.

The URL you provided when you opened this topic doesn’t seem to be valid so I can’t view the problem first-hand. Could you confirm where I should look with some example URLs?

Could you also share your system information (in a private reply)?

Thanks!

Well the Forum doesn’t allow for URL to have “-” in the URL. I made this comment in the past still not fixed so no way the leave the URL in the URL field.

I have sent my information

Thanks (and yes, you’re right about the forum bug – it’s a long standing problem that ought to be solved soon – unfortunately it isn’t easy for us to differentiate between actual human mistakes and the forum bug).

In any case, thanks for those details. When I look at your site and visit a single event page, it isn’t immediately clear to me what the problem is with the titles – could you provide a little more detail on that?

[dtforum]

The site is okay visual. But the changes have created a SEO bug. Visual we are okay but the upgrade but when the site is crawled – the crawl does not find the EVENT title. The Title Tag is empty or missing. So then every post has a major error for SEO of no title.

OK, so could you point me to an example of an event which exhibits this (missing title) bug? I appreciate it may look ok visually – but I’d like to be able to inspect the source of one of these events.
