J-BusinessDirectory - Metadata not showing in categories

It's version 4.9.7. An update may be pending but a lot of customisation has been done already.

Example link : https://www.fashionsfinest.com/directory/clothing

Client can't get any category specific metadata showing on the category pages. Not even the description in the code shows.

Short of recoding the page is there any way to display category specific metadata?

Thanks

Hi,

Version 4.9.7 is a pretty old version and we recommend updating to a newer version.
For metadata you can edit components/com_jbusinessdirectory/views/search/tmpl/default.php and check the metadata generation there.

And yet on another site running the current version 5.6.2 it has the same issue. There's no metadata showing for categories and the category description doesn't show.

Hi,

Can you please create a ticket on our store and provide us admin access?
On our test environment all seems to be OK.

I have the same issue, could u take a look?

This seems to still be an issue. I am running JBD 5.7.6 and if you go to this link, for example https://www.smeaz.org.zw/shop-online/category/agri-business the meta data does not appear, despite me having entered it. I have set "Show category description" to Yes and still that doesn't work. If you view the source, the meta description remains the general one, it doesn't switch to the category description.

Thank you for letting us know. We will check this and apply some improvements in the 5.8.0 version.
