Incorrect Meta tags that inserted into every page

I have these tags showing at the top of every page in my CMS 2.27 website:-

Code: Select all

<meta name='description' content='' />

<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<head>
These are not consistent with w3 standards and I wish to fix them.

But try as I might (and I've been trying the last 3 hours now), I can't find anywhere in my install where these tags are created !

I've gone carefully through every template but they are not there. Doing a search indicates that 'meta name' is part of :-
  • CMSPrinting + printtemplate
    Printing + printtemplate
but I cannot find these templates to edit in my install. I suspect the rest of the tags are located here.

My install was upgraded from a 1.9.13 install and has been in existence since 2012, so these printing templates may be hanging around from v1 code.

I'm at a loss as to what to do now, so would appreciate any help to be able to remove/replace the offending meta tags that appear in my webpages.

Could be in Site Admin > Settings - Global Settings > Global Metadata, or each page may have it in its Page Specific Metadata field, under the Logic tab when editing the page.

Found the issue

When I uninstalled SEOTools2, the incorrect meta disappeared ;-)

But now of course I have no SEOTools which I need.

Is there any other modules that can help with SEO available for CMS Made Simple?

You can use i.e. Calguy's Head Master module or use my method without a module: http://cms.ms/JntZ
