[Solved] Meta title and description doesn't work on product pages

[ruben6]

It seems that only the title and meta description of the pages set in "preferences - Meta Tags" seem to work. I've also added all the info to the product and cms pages, but it doesn't show on the site.

Could it be that I missed a setting, because I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using Prestashop version 1.3.1.1.

Are you using the default PrestaShop theme?

Are you using the default PrestaShop theme?

No, I used the Essentiel theme from Atchworks as a base, for a custom theme.

I just checked my header.tpl against the original and all the code concerning the title and description all seems ok.

I've just installed the smarty firebug debug module in Prestashop, so I can get a bit more information about the problem. It seems that there is no problem in the code of the tpl files, but the variables: "{$meta_description}: {$meta_keywords}: {$meta_title}:" are not forwarded right by Prestashop.

The variables of the description and keywords are empty and the title is only the main shop title. On the homepage everything is working fine.

Edit: I just found out what the problem was. It is a bug in the maintenance mode of Prestashop. If I turn the maintenance mode off everything seems to work like it should
