How to remove meta keywords from all pages

Post by alpineer » Thu Mar 08, 2018 1:13 pm

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to remove meta keywords from all pages on my Joomla site (v 3.8.5).

On some pages, older ones, the tag component I was using at the time apparently created the meta tag keywords. Newer pages have no keywords and I don't have anything set in for the global meta keywords.

I'm actually trying to migrate from my current tag component to Joomla core tags. I can do this by first migrating existing tags to keywords, and then migrating from keywords to tags via a handy script I found.

However, before doing that I need to clear out any existing keywords.

The only solution I found here led to an extension that has since been unpublished.

I couldn't find any existing extension that does this.

Any ideas?

Is there a table I can easily clear out via phpMyAdmin?

Thanks for any help on this!

Apologies! Should have looked first. I found the column (metakey) in the content table. All clear!

fyi, this is the script I found to migrate keywords to tags:

Thanks. I wasn't planning to use it. As I explained above, I just need it to pass tags from one system to another.
