I just want to clarify:

The SEO Keyword field is to set key words for searching within the cart.

The Meta Tag Description field is for search engines such as Google.

Is that right?

SEO keyword is the product URL.

I'm sorry, but that answer doesn't make any sense to me.

If you set this-is-the-seo-keyword as the seo keyword for a product, its web address will be the following.
http://www.domain.com/store/this-is-the-seo-keyword

So, SEO Keyword has nothing to do with searching within the store?

What if I leave the SEO Keyword blank?

You need to set Use SEO to yes in the main settings
Also you need to change the htaccess.txt that comes with OpenCart to .htaccess

How can we make it work if the Product Name with "/", I have a few items with "/", once I click these items, it stay in current category, can not click in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't put the /" in the seo box

right.. just like you can't use a "\" in a file name in windows.. there are similar restrictions for things like SEO.

I have an issue with SEO and my New Module
I have made a Copy of Information Module to Recipes Module
The SEO URL is not working in my new Module, why is that; should I have to declare it somewhere?

My site is http://www.cretalifestore.com

Thanks

The file you need is titled ".htaccess.txt". On most filesystems it's invisible because it has a period in front of it. You can either upload the opencart zip file to the server then extract it, or figure out how to show invisible files on your filesystem and then upload it.

(This is exactly why I suggested in this thread that the filename be changed. It's more user-friendly.)
